One of the first people I met in Parayao National High School is Joshua Padua. I first met him in front of a classroom searching for his section in Grade 7. I was having difficulty back then, searching for my name because of crowded students during that first ay of school. We started being in the same section and soon became friends. We usually ate our snacks and launch together. Every launch break, we would always go to the school library to read and do our assignments. As time goes by, our friendship is still getting stronger If I hadn’t met Joshua that day, I might not have found a good friend and a good brother by heart in him.
