At 8, I'm proud to say that I have tried at least 5 schools, 3 of which are schools located in Toledo City, Cebu.
On April 2013, my family relocated to Toledo City due to the work assignment of my father. He was assigned as Bank Manager of RCBC Toledo Branch and Balamban Branch. It was hard relocating, bringing all our things from Pilipog, Cordova and settle to an unknown place, but my father decided to accept the offer because it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for career growth,
On June 2013, I was enrolled Kinder 1 at Consolatrix College of Toledo City or CCTC. It was the oldest school in Toledo City and ran by Recollect Sisters. The school is just walking distance from our cozy apartment. Sometimes, Dada and I just walk ourselves in going to school. My most memorable experience at Consolatrix is when I was crowned Princess Tiana The Frog Princess during one of the school's event. It was fun!
The following year, June 2014, I was enrolled as Grade 1 at Dela Salle Andres Soriano Memorial College, a school district under Dela Salle Greenhils located inside the Carmen Copper Corporation compound. This is because my mother was accepted as Filipino teacher at Dela Salle Andres Soriano Memorial College.
From Toledo City proper, we were forced to move to DAS or Lutopan where the school is situated. We were lucky to be provided by the school with a free housing located inside the school compound. That means we were able to save on housing rental costs. The place is called ACRA, it is a village where selected teachers of La Salle lives. For us to reach our houses we have to climb by foot using the foot ladder which is several steps away. It was a torture specially if one is bringing heavy school bags.
The following year, Mama decided to gave up her teaching post at La Salle. We returned to Toledo City proper and lived in an apartment near the Boulevard. This time, I am grade 2 and my parents decided to enroll me to another school, Leaton School. Dada and Mama's friend Judge Pescaderos son, Brinx is enrolled at Leaton. Hearing good things about Leaton, they decided to try the school.
However, Dada had another job offer at another bank - Asia United Bank. The final offer came in August 2015. It was a job offer that is hard to resist, so Dada resigned from RCBC. It was September 2015 and Dada and Mama were having hard time looking for a school that would accept transferees in the middle of the school year. Thank God for Dada's friend, Uncle Michael who helped arranged for my transfer to Bethel Kiddie Development Center. The school is a non-Catholic learning institution ran by the Bethel Church. I finished my Grace 2 at Bethel.
The following school year, my parents decided to enroll me at San Roque College de Cebu Inc. My father is familiar with the school and is ok with the quality. Hopefully this will be my last school. My sister is also enrolled in the same school.
This explains why I titled my post SCHOOL HOPPING. Because I literally hopped from one school to the other.
