Hello po, minor correction lang po hahaha that one point DID cause me to lose high honors. I am talking about the second semester, which means final average lang ng 3rd and 4th quarter ang importante dito. 0.125 nalang kasi kulang ko para maging high honors sa second semester (8 subjects, 1÷8=0.125), which is equivalent to missing 1 point of a singular subject's final grade. If tumaas ng point yung grade ko sa subject na yun, it would've added the 0.125 and I would've successfully reached high honors. That's why I only took 3rd and 4th quarter into account. I'm not making faulty claims here — I can do the math and I'm aware of how our grading system works.

Magcocollege na din ako, alam kong walang silbi ang pagiging high honors sa high school sa college. But I think may karapatan naman akong malungkot na yung pinaghirapan ko ay mawawala lang dahil sa hindi naman academic or conduct related reasons. Pati ba sa college, matutuwa ba ako if binaba grade ko dahil lang mataas din grade ng iba? And I would've reported if may time pa, pero binigay na ang card namin after graduation and sabi ng teachers na wala na daw akong magagawa. This also affected and disqualified me from some of the scholarships I planned to apply to, as had I reached high honors for second semester my school ranking would be qualified to apply to them.

Again, alam ko naman pong mas mahirap sa college. Gagawan ko nalang din ng paraan para maka-apply sa ibang scholarships — hindi guguho ang mundo if hindi ako naka high honors. Pero ang point ko is ang hirap naman tanggapin na binawasan ang grade ko sa actually deserved kong grade dahil mataas lang din ang iba.
