A Thousand Steps to Success

What advice would you give to your fellow students?

“My advice to my fellow students is to have faith in their abilities and never doubt their learning capacity. These capacities can also help them achieve a prosperous and bright future.”

“Yes, I do. People say that “A little progress each day adds up to big results.” I believe that everything we do at the moment is significant to what we can do tomorrow.”

What is the most rewarding aspect of being mr/ms campus bet?

“Being a Ms. Campus Bet has been a wonderful experience for me because I’ve shown everyone that a girl like me is capable of competing in a pageant.”

“I think the most rewarding aspect of being crowned as Mr. Campus Bet 2023 is the fact that the time and effort that my friends, classmates, teachers, handler, and my family made did not go to waste.”

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! Around of applause to our Mr. and Ms. Campus Bet! Time flies so fast, doesn’t it? A few weeks ago, we were just hyping and expecting the event. Boosting the photo of each candidate on the facebook page through likes and shares. Now, we have witnessed the blast and success of the event. Opting to share experiences to our friends studying in different school. A sublime transition from boost to blast, indeed!

As we enter the jocular gates of the school, we felt that euphoric tension in our veins, and our hearts can’t stop beating hastily, as if would run out of our ribcage. Yes, that’s how fun this year’s foundation day is.

Everyone hopped into the trend and bought the uniformed T’ shirts provided by the school. As everyone chanted with glee, pride scattered through our bodies, as we traipsed the beguile streets of Burauen. A walk for a cause indeed.

The houses we passed by witnessed the joy we perceived during that morning. It was truly a splendid moment. From the busy road of the market to the bemuse two-lane street of Camansi high way, there was just so much to see.

Loud and joyous cheers from the different grade levels were heard. Oh! Even the infamous street photographer, Stewart, was there. Everyone was hyped up as he took candid photos of the parade participants.

“Over here! Over here!” “Take a picture of us” A teeny tiny bit of chaos… well, I mean a hefty mass of chaos dominated the parade as everyone acknowledged his presence. Stewart is truly a game changer as he always finds ways to spice up an event.

Whilst the candidates of Mr. and Ms. Campus Bet Pageant tailed the line riding their respective pick-up trucks with enormous smiles on their faces. A chronological arrangement was formed as they convoyed behind their represented grade level.

Like the other students, they wore a Walk for a Cause T-shirt, some jeans, and sporty shoes. Well, except for the grade 8 representatives. Shane Binatac and Jude Dywn Catapte wore matching red shirts. With that little pop color, they inarguably stood out and caught the crowd’s eyes.

Whoa! Inhale…Exhale…Inhale…Exhale…That was tiring! If we’d measure the distance we have walked, 1 kilometer is an understatement. As we retrace our steps back to our school, we encountered the BCC students. What a big coincidence! It’s their foundation day, too. Eyy, school goals! Kaguang. Kurimao. Halo. These were the few teams that engaged in a fun run! Sporting a printed group T-shirt, shorts, and rubber shoes, the BCCnians surely slayed the event.

They even had a muse to complete the vibe. With banners, posters, and flyers, they cheered and danced to the beat of their marvelous drums.

As if the 2 schools have merged as they paralleled each other. What a historic moment to witness. Our yells can’t be silenced and our steps can’t be seized.

Though our legs were about to break from all that meandering, a bucket can be used to measure the sweat we obtained as we walked along the parade. We finished the stride with a beaming sneers on our faces. The blazing heat of the sun couldn’t stop us either.

As a student of Burauen Comprehensive, participating in a parade is more than just a walk for a cause. For us, this parade is a thousand steps to success. Not just for the sake of the event’s success, but our efforts and movements towards a unified institution and a pillar to a strong foundation.
