Now on whether PSHS will be too hard for your friend’s son, it’s a case to case basis. If matalino naman talaga, then he should handle Pisay easily. If not so smart but masipag, then he will make it too. I also observed that come college, mas nagexcel yung mga masipag vs yung mga naturally matalino.

At some point the academic difficulty catches up with your stock brainpower. In Pisay it usually comes earlier, so that’s where you have to supplement your wits with good study habits.

I came from DLSZ before Pisay. I was top 3 of my batch, represented the school in Math competitions. Pagpasok ko Pisay, I was average. My first quarter grade was 1.84, I wasn’t even DL. That was my wake up call to do better. I had much better grades in the succeeding years and graduated with High Honors.

At first I also didn’t like being uprooted. I missed my friends so much, I would still have my MTG sessions in Alabang just so I could hang out with my batchmates. Eventually I made a new set of friends in Pisay and they’re among my closest friends to this day.

Thanks for your insight Juts! Yeah I think in high school talaga is where you gain your closest of friends. Which also makes my friend & I think, where he also gain more connections when he becomes an adult? in AHS or PSHS?
