High School Years


We wish to bring you a comprehensive story of Ruth's elementary years. But because this site is still to be updated, we can give you only the synopsis. Later, we will keep you posted.

She spent her high school at the University of Bohol-High School Evening Session. When she was asked why to study during night session, which is from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., she didn't want to study in the day session because she didn't belong there.

She was a staff writer of the Lampbearer's Voice, official publication of the said school. Then, she became a feature editor and eventually her skills led her to become a literary editor.

She wrote short stories in Filipino and poems. Whe her story about Tukso ng Panahon was published, the whole department knocked down. They loved the story-and wrote wrote more.

Junior-Senior Promenade was the happy days of Ruth. She was active in the school paper where she honed her skills in writing.

Her brother could remember that one day Ruth asked her what was the pronunciation of "Ilog Nile" bec in her class when she was asked to read, it read it in the English way, her classmates laughed and her teacher too. She was embarrased, she said. But she was correct and the following class her teacher read 'Ilog Nile" in English. No more laughing.

In her senior year, sometime in Feb., before the JS Prom, they practiced for the senior dance number. Because boys weren't behave, their English teacher punished them for a 30-minute-squat (this is from the account of her classmates) and because that was an order, she followed. After she went home, she complained because her legs were pained. And the following day, she was hospitalized.

Now, her brother spoke to the principal about the case. Leo asked her to excuse her sister. And it was agreed. The principal complained for a part in his excuse letter not to blame the school what happened to her.

The point is, as a teacher, you should learn how to respect your students. There were only the boys who were misbehaving and they should not be punished, nay the entire class. Because you doesn't know the health conditions of each students.
