Week 6: A Challenge.. .

Bragging a little, academic problems are not a really big deal for me. I already took my first year of college in other school and here in MCL it is like repeating the courses I already took.
Rumors saying that if one is excelling in Math that person is weak in English, that is slight true on me. English Course is my weakness, that is why I didn't apply for a creditation even though I passed my last english courses with an average of 94% (base 50). The reason why I got that high grade is my former teacher is getting her grades in a cloud 9 (according to her former students and other staffs). I can say that is true because I get a grade which I don't deserve.

Here in MCL, I am having a little bit of hard time in coping in my English course unlike those in Math and I.T.. I am weak applying right grammars (I really don't know if grammars of this blog is correct). Also, I am having a hard time in making my assignments because I have my sideline job after school hours and weekends.

Fortunately, my professor in that course is a very considerate one, she extended the deadline of passing all assignments and requirements. That is why I challenge my self in making those requirements even in midnight which is my only free time.
I wish I can still get high grades when I pass those on September 3, our last meeting in class.

Week 5:The Most Challenging Thing have ever Accomplished

I graduated last March 2006 but yet I'm still a Freshmen here at MCL, school year 2007-2008, I am a year late than of the others.

During my last highschool days I was unable to choose the right course in my collegiate level, because I was affected by my own policy "U.P. or nothing", unfortunately I neither passed the UPCAT nor accepted in their waiting list, I got a GPA of 2.812 exceeding the qouta of 2.800, with just a point of .012, my life got undecided.

In chance, my cousin also had a case like mine, we decided to use the last card in entering U.P., being a transferee, what we did was we took a our first year in a near college in our place, and invest 40 units of loads and got at least and average of 90% (base 50). During the second semester my interest was slowly showing, then I finally decided to take a Digital-Art related course,(e.g. animation, multi-media) in my next school year. Even without enough money, I intended to enter La Salle College of St. Benilde, and take AB-Animation (my dream course), I tried to enter as a new freshmen instead of being a transferee. Unfortunately, I failed, the reason is that their was a policy that if one already take his first year of college in one school that person can never enter another school as a freshmen. That event declined my interest in pursuing my goal.

Luckily, there will be a new college opening on June 2007,I got that information from my friend, Double luckily they are offering a program that is related to my interest, Digital Arts and Design, even though it was a two-year program, I grabbed that opportunity and entered Malayan Colleges Laguna. I was so happy that finally I got a program that I liked.
But then it became the biggest challenge for me, taking a two-year program instead of a Bachelor degree, the reason why is that I will at least consume 6 years of life in college, it is so hard to imagine it.

Life here in the Philippines is getting poorer and poorer and our family is affected of it, considering these I decided to take that two-year program with all my heart and take a job instantly when graduated with the course, then afterwards fulfill my bachelor degree.

Week 4: Go for Gold

The golden rule: "Do unto others what you want others do unto you"

When I was in my 4th and last year of high school, there were two girls who challenge my values. (I"ll name them A and B). As I see them on the outside girl A is one who dresses uncertain and do things uncommon like piercings anywhere she like, weird hairdo etc. She also love to hear weird underground music(???), in short she is a Gothic type of person. Girl B dresses neatly, her hygiene is very good, she have a great taste in fashion, in short she is the typical type of girl.

I always noticed and opposed everything Girl A does, her beliefs and personality, one time I intended her to fix his hairdo, she got mad. I don't much notice girl B because I believe that time that she was always doing the right thing.

Suddenly, our section were stroked by a shocking incident, One of my friend/classmate lost his cellphone in our homeroom during a recess. Days passed and all were doing anything they can just to recover that cellphone or at least know the person who did that crime. Unexpectedly rumors passed our classroom that they already know who was the person who did it, it is Girl B.
All our classmates already know except me, at first I don't believe it and still tried to defend her because it is not in the attitude as I believed. Until the moment that one of my teachers come into the scene, he tried to lure Girl B in order for her to tell the truth, and it was a success. I was in a deep shame when the one who I defended was the one who really did that sorrowful crime. My other classmates blame and criticize for my mistake, they said that I was so unfair with Girl A than of Girl B, hence Girl B was the one who have the real attitude problem.

From this experience I learned not to see a person with his/her appearance and not to notice and oppose anyone's personality, because at the end I suffered with the so called "karma" which I really hate and hard to accept.
