Saint Louis University- Laboratory High School
It sounds kind of “sciency and geeky”, right?
Answer is: not really…
Well, actually, it kind of is.
I mean, the name comes with the stuff—geeky stuff and high-tech stuff…and some others I don’t have the name for. Hahaha
Let’s start first, and foremost, how I got to talk about my school.
It’s a requirement, in my Technology and Home Economics class. But since that’s the case, I’ll admit. I have been planning to write about it; but, it just doesn’t fit my schedule…writing and typing, I mean. Anyhow, I’m here right now, in front of the laptop already, so why not start typing…and blogging.
Moving on, let’s talk about how I got here…to this school.
After graduating from Saint Louis School Center, SLSC, I went to Saint Louis University- Laboratory High School, SLU-LHS.
Aside from the reason that the school is near our house, I heard of how competent and socially involved and more…”more better” it was. I’m not comparing the high school of SLSC, which is the SLSC-HSD or the Saint Louis School Center-High School Department from my present high school. Neither my elementary school nor my high school’s elementary, which is the Saint Louis University- Laboratory Elementary School. Ah, here. I’ll clarify it. SLU-LES is the elementary of SLU-LHS; while SLSC is the elementary of SLSC-HSD.
My home
SLU-LHS is my home; I spend most of my time there. At home, its evening; so, what we do is to sleep. Basically, our days are mostly spent at school; therefore, we could consider it as our Second home…that’s just what I’m trying to say.
My school
SLU-LHS is my school. It is where I learn new things or deeper meanings. It is where our knowledge broadens and where our wisdom grows.
They say that experience is the best teacher. Yes, I agree with that. But, this is what I am to ask: How are we going to face the experience, and to really say that we passed the test if we don’t know when the trial actually hits us? Moral norms, school, and society are factors that guide us in saying that we are actually faced by this type of life-dangling-by-a-strand challenge or just some trivial one. Another word for experience is the following: encounter, happen, face, live through, undergo, be subjected to, and alike. And so, we make THIS kind of decision. After making the decision, we have already EXPERIENCED the situation. And therefore, we did learn from the situation—the knowledge we gained from the situation gave us a deeper meaning on what the moral norms, school, and society were suggesting to be true and correct.
This coming December, SLU would be celebrating its 100 years as standing as a school. From its humble beginnings, it would now become a century old. The Saint Louis University would be having its centennial celebration. (Read my other blog entitled “The name worth a thousand titles” for more information on the university’s history)
I guess the best gift I can give to my school, my SLU is to give it a good name…or if not, continue to preserve its already-respected name—especially my own school. It is my pride to say that I am from that school, a Louisian.
A Louisian by name and by status…based on where I am standing now. Come join me, and let’s discover all the more all the things about my school, my home, my SLU.
Hey, could not that be a gift to him already? Gaining knowledge regarding it? Hahaha…
…especially now, when the SLU Centennial Celebration is coming…
A fruitful thought:
Experience could or could not become the best teacher.
At some points, yes. But not all the times.
Some situations do not need to be tried.
…we cannot take back what already happened,
…make decisions wisely, and you wouldn’t need to regret it afterwards…
