The Other Side Of The Court
by Rainne Cloud Barcibal

Sitting at the same gymnasium I’ve already been to a lot of times, the loud crowds, banging drums, and speakers that blasted throughout the room made me think that everything was just a series of repetitive events— the same opening "Kickoff" I’ve already attended three times.

But today proved me wrong.

Three years ago, I was a Grade 9 student, filled with enthusiasm and curiosity to discover what this school has in store for me. I was so excited, to the point that I fantasized how it's going to be. A chance to meet with new people, a fresh start.

But I admit, one of the things I struggled from the most was change. The same exact reason I was excited to begin with. I had to leave the comfort of familiar faces— the classmates I grew up with. And starting over in a community I know nothing of. I constantly asked myself, “What if I don’t fit in?”

Looking back now, I realized that every beginning always carries uncertainty, but it also carries the chance for us to grow. Sometimes, the places that scares us the most become the places that shape us into who we are meant to be. Change was scary, but it was necessary.

Now, as a Senior, I had the opportunity to guide and make this day memorable for Juniors and New Students. It wasn't easy either. Every practice, planning, and meeting was done with so much effort and preparation. Carried with the pressure of promoting, as well as organizing everything that was done today, it was challenging, but seeing the smiles of my fellow orgmates and the simple "thank you" of the students we were here to serve for made it all worth it.

What happened today wasn't perfect. There were a lot of failures and difficulties— moments that didn't go the way I expected, but it reminded me that making a difference doesn’t always come from doing something big. Sometimes, it comes from showing up, offering a helping hand, and reminding others that they’re not alone. Those small moments of kindness and encouragement can leave the greatest impact.

The "Kickoff" isn't just an event; it's a reminder of growth. Every year has something different— it's you.
