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.
