          You cannot enter the gate without your ID and not wearing your uniform and I'm pretty sure that I don’t have to explain this.






2.  Always bring a pen.

          You can forget about your paper but never forget the pen. Pen symbolizes how ready a student is. You must be able to cope with the demand of this curriculum--- this school. You cannot do such thing if you are not completely ready to win a battle. These both apply to academics and non-academic activities. Ateneo is a dynamic school and full of surprises and we as a student of this university should be always ready for anything.


3. Learn to love the stairs.

            Ateneo is not only a starting road to success but also to fitness. Every morning, you need to conquer and force yourself to climb the stairs in order for you to attend your classes. There is no excuse to it, stairs symbolizes the road to success but most of the time stairs are always annoying. But you need to learn to love it. You gotta.






4. Be friendly.

            This is a must. Stop hating other people before missing the chances of meeting amazing personalities. If you think being the talk of the town because of your nasty attitudes and/or being the whistle blower of a certain teenage drama is cool? Well, you have to fix yourself. Ateneo is a community who includes people. We condemn any types of exclusion.

5. Don’t be afraid.

            Learn how to speak and at the same time learn when to speak. Ateneans are very outspoken. We are known because of our voices, we always want to say something and as a student you are expected to be the voice of the voiceless. So kid, like Cinderella’s mother once said “Have courage and be kind.”






6. Don’t waste time.

          This is very important. Senior High School is a bridge between Junior High and College, so expect the best and the worst. School requirements were never this hard; deadlines were all in the same week and you as an individual should finish everything for you to pass the subject. Yes it’s difficult, but my advice is don’t waste a second. Know your priorities, should I keep doing my PTs ‘till 5AM or sleep?


7. Learn the value of teamwork.

          Forget about the Methodological Individualism, you have two years to collaborate with different talents. There is no time for isolating yourself. Explore outside the cave, my child.




8. Always do your best, because I know

        If you can do well, make it better and strive for the best. If you are expected to reach a certain level, surpass it.







9. Don’t pressure yourself.
Giphy

          We are no longer after the grades because they are just numbers. The important thing is how could we help other people? Learn to enjoy the ride and earn knowledge from it.







10. Be you.

Giphy
            This is the best I tip I can share, don’t be the other version of you. Remove your mask, embrace the freedom and be real. Fake it until you make it will never give you the thrill. You will miss all the fun.


            But after all these tips, it is only you who can tell how to survive Ateneo. Whoever you are and what ever you want to be...do it your way and I just want to welcome you to Ateneo Senior High School.
