I heard a lot of people say, in college it'll be different. Take things seriously and independently. While others say, it's FUN!
VELEZ COLLEGE. The moment I step in into its old Jurassic park ambiance marks the beginning of my next stage in life. Luckily, I'm with Joyce.
I asked mum to sent me at my first day. Stayed with me until Joyce arrived. That feeling on my first day ran thru my veins the very moment I woke up. I went to school as early as I can. So I ended up waiting for a long minutes until I saw Joyce. I kissed my mum & returned it with good luck words. Then, I turned around. THIS IS IT!
I noticed that students were busy talking at their phones, " Uie, asa na man ka. Naa na ko school. Dali na diri lain kaayu way kuyog uie." That explained it.
We walked inside the campus awkwardly. Staring at people passing by as we were on our way to the small hallway. We could barely touched our shoulders' from someone's shoulder.
We didn't know our room so we asked a senior. On our way, we saw Kathy, a girl whom we met during registration. And tadaa~ we walked to our designated room together that day-everyday. We also met Jaella and Jeliane during our Chem Lab. Until then we became friends. We ate lunch and walked to our room together. Not until we met Branch, Kathy's new friend. Jeliane hates Branch, there's conflict and we went our separate ways. Leaving me with Joyce alone again but hey! Jaella still here!
I like Jealla. She's more of a mum to me. I like touching her shoulder cause it's so fluffy and big. Make it as my pillow. She's also caring and honest. But sometimes I got paranoid. Asking random questions to her until she get annoyed and said "maminaw lagi". But it's okay. I know I crossed the lines. Enough about friends.
My block-mates: 1/4 half Chinese the rest Pinoy. They have different personalities but one thing in common was they were all GENIUS. They came from a well-known and prestige school. Some are friendly. Some are just shy to talk and approach. But as we get to know each other more they were all great and nice and friendly! =] I LOVE BSMT-1A!!
And Yes! I'm taking up Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. I chose this for many reason and one thing for sure: "Because there's no Entrance Exam". My Filipino Instructor once said, " Velez had no entrance exam, because they wanted to give chances to those students who may not be able to excel in their HS days but had a big dream to pursue." " The school may not reach your expectations about utilities or its physical appearance but we are into the QUANTITY not QUALITY of the school. We are into molding you students into a professionals that will be able to serve mankind. Able to save life in the mere future", my English Instructor exclaimed.
First Day, was more of a getting to know each other. We even introduce ourselves again and again every subject. More of relaxing, chatting, picture taking and enjoying.
As time passed, days and weeks. I'm here struggling to survive college. I feel so left behind in every topic that we took up. Cause we didn't took it up in high school.
Most especially when Dad, visited us. I lost my momentum because of the happiness that overwhelmed me when I saw my dad for the last 6 years. I even lost more of my focus when he flight back again abroad.
I prayed to GOD to shower me with his mercy. To make me strong. In those times I felt myself getting out of th quo. In quizzes & long exams I failed. Life is somewhat getting harder and harder but I realized I just need to get closer and closer to GOD!
That shortcomings was just part of my past in order to strike back for excellence I need to organize my SURE-FIRE method with the KEY.
The change isn't coming the way I wanted it to be so I wrote things that I did in the past and things that an MT student must do.
And I came up with this:
Being an MT student is like putting you on a flowing river. Strong current, winds & waves that will test you more even harder. In order to survive, you must cross your way out into the other side of the road. And it's up to you, If you're gonna SWIM and make it to the other side or you're gonna SINK. -PAPA! =]
