As I have mentioned in one of my previous blogs, I am already the longest member of the Ateneo Swim Team, having joined way back when I was in the fourth grade. My ten-year membership consists of the first 8 being consecutive membership years; I took a seemingly permanent hiatus from the sport during my college freshman year and returned the year after. Scandal and my behavior aside, my year off really allowed me to put things in perspective.
Had it not been for that, I would not have experienced such joys freshman year has to offer. I got to know my blockmates well. I was able to focus on my academics and I even served in the Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral. Though I had a difficult time adjusting to a schedule which did not include dry-land or swim training, the endeavors I pursued truly reinforced one thing which I have denied for so long--that I was really a born, bred, water-fed swimmer and athlete among other things. But like I said, I enjoyed my year off because it gave me time to think things through.
What I am really thankful for was the fact that I was able to enjoy my English and Literature block. R-31 (our section) was truly an experience which I will never forget. I cannot put in to words how much the R-31 experience meant to me. It was an adventure, to say the least. Monday, Wednesday and Friday would be the happiest days in my week simply because I would get to experience R-31 for two straight hours. Every moment of it was truly priceless...
Take your mark!
