Holiday

Today we don't have class in NSTP because it is holiday. It is called People Power Revolution Day, and it commemorates the EDSA revolution against the former president Marcos, who is said to have reigned like a dictator with martial law in the Philippines. That was long time ago, before I was born.

There are no classes in every school today. Holidays are always free time for students. I can only imagine the happy faces of elementary and high school students due to having no classes. I am still young at heart, so even I jumped right after the teacher announced that the next day doesn't have classes. Well, at least, I felt like that, even though I didn't really jump.

Holiday is just one day. Such isolated holidays are rare during the school year. The longer holidays are semester break, Christmas, and summer break. Students have to follow that vacation schedule. But once you are done with studying, you can take vacations whenever you like. You can work or not, and it depends on how comfortable your life is. If you are poor, you can afford vacations rarely, but if you're lucky to be born rich, then can afford lots of vacation. You're not even inclined to find a job right after you graduate.
