My Bond with My Family
On last January 27, 2019, was the ACT-IS Regular Program Family Day, with its theme being "Family, United in Love". All of the students from each the Preschool Department to the Junior High School Department, celebrated this program with their families together as one, and always united with love and care, as mentioned in the said theme of Family Day.
On the time we got there, I was a bit excited during the registration since I know, I will get to be with my mother and father, along with my old brother, sister and niece from Grade 1, but was a little nervous for my classmates to be seeing with my parents for once in a lifetime since they never got to see them a lot of times.
During that time after we arrived at the program, it was time for the Mass and listened well, while taking a few glances at my parents to see how they were doing during the Mass was in session, along with my classmates, the other students and parents within the area. Afterwards, it was time for the actual program with the presentations from the different levels. My parents and brother, however, had to go home after the Mass was finished to rest but said that they'll return for eating dinner. The presentations from the different levels were amazing and I was staying really confident but a little nervous when it was our turn to present in front of the other students and parents from the different levels, but my confidence didn't fade away until the end of our performance.
I was happy for our performance went, except for some of my classmates that felt uncomfortable during the performance, but I still think we did a pretty good job during the presentation. After the presentations from the different levels, the people from the VDAC, Venanzuela Dance Art Center performed an outstanding performance that left everyone on the sides awestruck, and so did I, obviously.
Afterwards, it was time for the raffle drawing. Surprisingly enough, I heard my name during the raffle draw and left a bit surprised and shocked, at the same time. My adviser, Ms. Ara, said that it was my lucky day during that time since I got called first for the raffle draw, out of the entire class.
After the raffle draws for a few prices, it was the "Hot Momma & Hot Pappa" competition for the Grade School Department and noticed my sister, representing for the Grade 1 Level and was cheering her on so much, my voice cracked a lot and almost lost it. With that being said, it was time for more raffle drawing after that and then, it was time for dinner.
My parents, however, didn't came back for dinner since my mother felt tired and they were only there to attend the Mass before the program even began. But luckily, my sister and niece were still there, which was no problem for me during that time because I didn't felt alone, aside from my friends, keeping me company.
After eating dinner and having tons of conversations with my classmates and their parents, it was time for more raffle draws and after that, was the "I Got it from my Momma, I Got it from my Pappa" Talent Show and Competition. I was slightly amazed by some of the performances from the other levels, but kept on cheering for the performance of Grade 8 a.k.a, my class.
Afterwards, there were a few more raffle draws. So, did I had fun during the program of Family Day, Family United in Love? In my opinion, I had a great time, even though my parents didn't came back for the rest of the program and for dinner, but I still had a great time with my friends and other classmates of mine for the rest of the program since, like my own family, they're also my second family.
