Theresians All


I marched the green grass brown and loved-hated every moment.
I worked and got scared and grew strong in Tondo and cried
when it was time to leave.
I kept a record of grammatical errors that I heard, right beside the record of mannerisms that I saw.
I loved the retreats and hoped that they would last forever.
I wished upon a lot of stars and chased a lot of rainbows
I believed in a lot of things and fought for them...
I was a Theresian.



Our Class graduated from St. Theresa's College QC, on March 28, 1978. There were 151 graduates at that time, but our Class encompasses all those who were our classmates at St. Theresa's, from the time we completed kindergarten in 1967, our elementary education in 1974, our high school in 1978, and the years in between.
