In life we always commit mistakes and feel sorry for it. Committing mistakes is usual to a person, in fact we learn from our errors. But always remember that one bad deed is equivalent to a greater consequence.
It was early Monday morning when I was walking in the mid's of nowhere. The place looks familiar but I can't remember it. I continued walking until I saw a gate and entered it. During my first few steps from the gate I can see something tall which I cannot figure it out and a man is standing that seems waiting for me. As I got closer it was a hill with seven terraces and the man standing was Percy Jackson. Percy said that he will be my guide through out the journey. As we go on the first terrace there is another gate with an inscription of "BEWARE THOU SHALL PERISH SOON"
We got to the first terrace, the terrace for the late comers. There I saw students who were always late, they were in a straight line formation with the student police in front of them doing their duty. The late comers were asked by the SP of the reason why they are late and they are disciplined by making them squat and run a hundred of times. They were running until they figure out their mistake and be sure to not do it again. I had a hard time looking to them, I feel pity for them. But then we have to go on.
Moving on to the second terrace, Percy gave me a signal to step back and I do so. The second terrace was the place for the violators. The ones who were not in the proper uniform and the ones who isn't in the proper haircut. It was managed by Ma'am Myra, the students here were being disciplined also. The ones who were not in proper uniform were being chased by alive scissors and every time they are folding their sleeves or having any uniform violation they are being attacked by scissors. The ones who wasn't in proper haircut were chased by blades and a hair grows it was being shaved. It was really shocking to see those scenes, but I have to.
On the third terrace, it was an ear dropping one, Percy gave me ear plugs and I put them on. Though I have ear plugs this doesn't make me invulnerable of the noise it just helped in minimizing it. I can see students that keep on talking and talking and talking of non-sense things and every time they were noticed a horn were being blown near their ears. Another one were the "tagalog speakers" they are always speaking in tagalog so they are being disciplined by writing poems, essays, short stories and other form of literature, a hundred times for every word. The one guarding this terrace was Ma'am Lenny.
It was a fascinating scene but we moved on to the fourth terrace, the terrace for the irresponsible. Mainly this one is for the late passers of projects and the tardy ones. On this terrace I saw Ma'am Pareja guiding them. For the late passers they are being disciplined by quickly making something out of nothing. And for the tardy ones they have to do their work quick and they should do it many times depending on their level of tardiness.
On the fifth terrace, I saw Ma'am Malou guarding them. It was the terrace for the cheaters. They were sitting on the chair with tons and tons of books in front of them they have to read every word in the book and memorize them, if they didn't do so 5 more books will be added on their loads.
What a tough terrace was that, we continued walking and reached to the sixth terrace. Percy told me that I should not go far from him in this terrace so I do as what he asked I stay closed to him. It was so quiet but then suddenly a ball was about to hit my face, good thing Percy was able to catch it. This terrace was for the bullies I saw Sir Tom managing the students in this terrace. They were being disciplined according to the way they bullied others. For the physical bullies they were carrying a heavy mass and walking around the terrace, for the verbal bullies their mouth were being taped.
Percy and I got to the last terrace, the terrace for the lazy ones. From this terrace as I look down I can see all the other six terraces. On this terrace it was being managed by Ma'am Arlyn. The lazy ones received the hardest disciplinary action of all. They were to do every disciplinary action from the first to the sixth terrace a hundred of times. My heart shrink in this view.
From the last terrace Percy said goodbye to me and I was left alone realizing what I've seen. I keep on walking and walking until I saw the exit. It was already 12 midnight of Saturday morning when I got out from that place.
Our errors were our portal to discovery. Doing error once isn't bad but doing it twice it is a different one and always remember that for every action their is an opposite reaction.
