What a UP student is Not ?

University of the Philippines High School in Cebu is a school for the poor but deserving students. They are giving quality education to them. They are also teaching them the good characteristics that UP student must possess.

That is why UP students are often regarded by other people as intelligent, responsible and outspoken students.

One time the student council had presented a presentation about the attitude of a UP student. They compared that presentation to the movie, “First Day High”.

Up students are brainy in a way that, they are NOT showoff nut they are confident to show their skills. The members of the Glee Club, for example, present something in and outside the school in order to show to the world that they are blessed with good voices. The jazzers give their best I dancing gracefully in order to show to the people that they are talented. Some students also join quiz bee to show that they are capable of joining such a quiz bee. They are also intelligent enough to answer those questions which are asked in the quiz bee.

Up students are MVPs (Most Valuable Players) in a way that they are NOT only up to academics but they are also good in sports. For example, Stacey she is a consistent honor student yet she often plays volleyball. I think she is addicted with it. She is the Captain Ball of the Volleyball Team (girls).Mc Cherry is another example. She is also a consistent honor student and the best thing is, she is a scrabble player. She is also a good adviser. Liezl Ann Sumagaysay is a consistent honor student. She is a math whiz, a chess whiz and all the whiz in the world. Rowela, like Stacey, is a consistent honor student. She is also a member of the Volleyball Team (girls). Hazel is an honor student. She is very cheerful. She is a good badminton player. Rachel, like all of the students mentioned, is an honor student.. Like Hazel, she is a good badminton player. In fact, I want to be like Hazel and Rachel because I want to have more knowledge and improve my skills I badminton. I also want to be an honor student.

UP students are nice guys in a way that they are neither snobbish nor boastful but they are friendly and humble. We, UP students, for your information, have at least one club. The faculty and staffs required this for the students to develop their confidence to mingle with other people and meet friends. I am a member of the Campus Ministry. One thing that I have benefited with it is that I can approach people and good friends I times of need. I know that they will help me, for sure.

UP students are sossy in a way that they are NOT selfish, they are willing to share what they have to those people who are in need. I had an experience when I had no baon. Some students really shared to me the extra food that they have.

Lastly, UP students are rebellious. They are outspoken but they are NOT rude. They know how to respect other people’s opinion but if it destroys their reputation, they express what they feel in a form of a rally because of what I have said, they are outspoken.

Once again, UP students are not only up to academics, not snobbish, not boastful, not showoffs, not selfish, and not rude.

What else can you think about what a UP student is not?
