I studied in La Salette of San Mateo in the year2005. I was in Kindergarten II in that year. I am a new student before and I don’t have yet friends who I can be with. As days go by, I finally gain some friends. When I graduated that year, I am so excited to be a grade 1 pupil. I’ve met Katrina Nuqui and we became friends. Years had passed and everything had changed. I am already with Kathleen Mangubat and Maxine So. The four of us were best friends. When I was in Grade 4, I can say that I already boost my confidence in encountering other people with the help of the Practical Spoken English Program (PSEP) adapted by our school. There are also activities that we’ve done in the past years like the Nutrition Month Culminating activity, Foundation Day, Lantern Parade, Christmas Party, and many more exiting and confidence building activities. I graduated Grade 6 when I was already 11 years old. 2 months form our graduation will be a new year for me and my fellow graduates. When I was in Grade 7, I encountered different attitudes of my new classmates. Many of them became my friends and best friends. I love my school for letting me not to be alone now and the rest of my life.

I am a Salettinian all my life and I promise to be-forever. Nobody is a perfect student but every imperfection turns into a story in a catholic institution. I am not a student who makes all perfections to everything but doing my best for excellence, I was guided since Kindergarten in La Salette of San Mateo to stand no matter how big the crowd is in front of you. Not to do what I can but to do activities and task with the best shot I can make. Obedience is a virtue in our school, from the majestic apparition in History to the education in the present- obedience is a gift for every student who comes at La Salette of San Mateo. A gift that is well kept and treasured in our hearts as Salettinians. I have been living my life as a Christian not only by religion but really in spirit because of our school. This Catholic school guided me in my First confession, First communion and my Confirmation. I felt the real embrace of faith that my heart deserves and all Salettinian children. Rosary, Novena, Morning Praise, Monday and Holy Day Masses and prayers before and after class periods are the most memorable part of being a Salettinian. I am not just lucky but I am really blessed (Super) because La Salette of San Mateo did not just prepared me to conquer my independent life after finishing high school in academics but in my Faith-To trust God and be in Mama Mary’s motherly love. Our school is the first school to be built in all La Salette Schools in the Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette in history making it more significant to take care and live the Salettinian spirit in obedience and reverence to the school that taught me. We help one another and take care of one another, jokes or fun can be seen in our faces in free time and in times of need, we are all Maximins and Melanies for each other-obedient and innocent. We learned how to help in our Alay sa Belen and Outreach programs- helping the indigents in the simplest way we can and teaching young people in different public schools. Expanding the family and reaching out the Love of Our Lady of La Salette and the message of reconciliation. Our teachers is different form everyone not just advisers but loving parents, fun to be with and building love together in life lessons and learning. I have a lot to share but I’ll leave the rest for you to witness.

I started studying here in La Salette of San Mateo when I was in Grade 9 and now I am in Grade 10. I have a lot of memories in those 2 years. I have many friends. My most unforgettable moment is when Ma’am Levi was crying because I transferred sit during the examination. Ma’am Levi was very kind to me, and before I use to peek at her laptop and saw her wallpaper which is the word JP and before, many teachers used to scold me before because of my performance in school. But as time pass by, I’m trying to change my attitude but I really can’t believe that I am trying so hard. I want to Thank La Salette for waking me up every day by being close to God Forever.

Way back in the year 2013, my whole world changed and I met new friends in our school. When I first stepped at La Salette of San Mateo, I told myself that I was the luckiest student because this is a catholic school even though I am not a Roman Catholic Christian. I learned many prayers every day. Here in La Salette, they taught us how to become a Salettinian. A true Salettinian thinks less of himself to help other people. Even if there are many rules, The La Salette Family just want us to learn and follow orders in Obedience.

La Salette is the first choice of my family to where I will be studying because my relatives had graduated in this school. That’s why let’s start my journey in this school. I was 13 years old when I entered in La Salette of San Mateo. Before another school year will open, we first had our orientation headed by our Principal, I enjoyed the way she explained and discussed because she’s funny and interesting to listen to. And I met new friends and they were Caitlin Trixie Catral and Romabelle Mamaril. They were the one who approached me first if I want to join them and I answered yes. As the Orientation ended, our principal gave our section and finally got mine, I am one of the St. Lorenzo Class and the more exciting I’m with my new friends. But as time goes by, everything had changed because a lot of things happen, a lot changed. As of Now, I am a Grade 10 student of St. Agatha Class with dignity, respect, love, and care for others. It’s my pleasure to be part of La Salette of San Mateo. Especially being close to God!

Actually,when I was in Grade 6, La Salette is only my second choice for High School but my Aunt encouraged me to study here because she wants me to improve my intellectual skills so I agree with that and when I entered in this school, I felt that many things will change in me. They challenge us to be more active in all of our academic subjects and experience also how to construct questions and answer with Intonation and in proper English pronunciation. As time goes by, I felt that my bad characteristics changed into good because of La Salette of San Mateo. So I decided to continue schooling here because I know God called me here to improve my intellectual skills and continue my Journey of Faith!

I started going to school when I was in 6 years old. I have many memories here at La Salette of San Mateo. Since elementary, I am an athlete and I am good at Taekwondo. The school supported me all the way through and they believed in me, I learned to trust myself. The school makes me happy because they teach us good manners and English fluency and most of all, The La Salette Family taught me to Praise God and have reverence endlessly.

Way back 2013, my first year at LSM, I was shocked when I came to school because LSM is different from other schools. I still remember my first year teacher Ms. Florence Genoves and I was in Grade 7 St. Lorenzo Ruiz. After a few months, I felt comfortable and my first friends were Humphrey Dela Cruz, Sean Felipe Miguel, and Jaymar Carreon. And my best friends were Geo Niko Villarta and Jogi Reiv Badua. On my first year at LSM I can say that I’m not an active student but I’m very thankful to my teachers for helping me. Finally march came and I graduated. My grade 8 techer is Sir Zamir Laud and I was in Grade 8 St. Luke. One of my best year at LSM was when I was in Grade 9 St. Margaret Mary and my adviser was Ms. Levi Rose Manzano. Now I’m in grdae 10 St. Agtha and it’s my 4th year at LSM. My adviser is Ms. Cherry Lansangan. This year I’m the vice president of our class, for me it is hard to manage my classmates but I’m thankful because I have my friends and teachers that help me to become a good leader. At LSM I learned to become friendly and a good student. I have my friends and we call our group “Eternal Friends’, Ikkong, Bora, Nora, Yabethlog, Buleta, Ubang, James the Virgin, and Yani. This is my experience at LSM.

I started studying in L Salette of San Mateo when I was thirteen years old. At that age, I was in Grade 7. Many thing had changed when I entered this school. I have learned a lot of things. I’ve met new friends. This school is a nice school, they will do their best in order to teach children, students and pupils like us. Teachers here are the best. They are not just a teacher to us but also a mother and a father. Our principal is very responsible. She is doing all that she can in order to keep the school clean and drug free. Techers here always make sure that the students learn new things. They will make sure that all things that would happen to us would be memorable. As years go by, I am now a grade 10 student and I believe that the school remains beautiful as it is.
Cheryl F. GadianoGrade 10 St. Agatha Salettinian Student
Way back 2013 my world changed because new life, new beginning. When I was grade 7, the first day since the day I entered here in La Salette of San Mateo and the day I became a Salettinian. My first teacher here is Ma’am Cherry Lansangan, she is so kind. New people, new friends. I remember we introduced ourselves in front of the class and I was so ashamed because I don’t have yet friends. A year pass by, I came to know my classmates.
Trizia Andrea D. GenuinoGrade 10 St. Agatha Salettinian Student
I was five years old (kindergarten) when I started going to LSM. Even back then they never failed me. I remember all the laughs, all the cries, and all the memories. I remember graduating kindergarten with an ugly grad picture and graduating in elementary with an even uglier grad picture. But the fun I had having lantern parades, singing and acting contests and Christmas parties were enough to distract me from the grad pictures. In high school, I was old enough to realize that La Salette of San Mateo was not just a school to me; La Salette is a home to me. The buildings became my home, the teachers turned to become my parents, and my classmates morphed into my siblings. It is a big part of my life, and when I leave, I would surely come back to go to my roots.
