College Days.....

It was the month of June when I went to college. It was not the type school that i want to study at, but i have no choice. But mom already decided. My first choice was La Salle Lipa, but the thing is its too expensive for my parents, my mom is just a teacher and my dad is only driving our tricycle. Then another choice was Saint Bridget in Batangas City. Its a girls school but they are already accepting boys. Ive already call them and scheduled a my entrance test, but i didn't come . Because I forgot that it was my exam date, Funny,right?. Ive tried to to enroll for different scholarship but I didn't make it. Then one day, this school went to our school and conduct some career guidance session, the name of the school s DualTech Center. Never heard, right? Its a technical school in Laguna, run by a religions organization and a German company. The school curriculum was a bit different from what other school offers. The curriculum is Dual System. My course was Electromechanics Technology. A 2 year course, a combination of mechanical and electronic technology. The thing is, the curriculum is called Dual System for some reasons. After six months of in-house training, you will undergo in-plant training for 18 months. You will be train in a company then once or twice a week you will need to go to the school for your class. In-plant training is graded. But the good thing was we are getting honorarium. From my company which is Matsushita Manufacturing Company, The are giving out 6 thousand pesos per student but we are not getting it all, 60% of that will go to the school to subsidize our tuition fee, and 40 of which is for us. We are getting overtime pays as well. if we exceeded 8 hours shift, it will be charges as OT. sometime the company will require us to do OT on a daily bases. And we will get that OT pay every 15th and 30th.The whole experience was fun, exciting and very tiring coz sometime we will start working from 6 am in the morning and we will finished at 10 in the evening and I am not renting a room or house. i still live with my parents back in Lipa. So everyday I need to travel from Lipa to Sta Rosa, very expensive and tiring. I need to wake up around 3 in the morning just to prepare myself and my thing. I was very determined to finished it. Even I am tired and exhausted I will still wake up 3 in the morning and go to bed at 12 midnight, because I know everything will pay off. My goal is to finished my study and to help my parents.


But everything went well...............


High School Life.....

Since Ive started schooling at a very young age. I started high school at a very young age as well, I was only 12 when I went to high school. I graduated elementary with flying colors, I was one of the honor student ever since grade 1. what i thinking when I first step the high school environment is that, i need to be the best, i need to be exceptional, not because my mom is working at the same school, because I think that school is the next thing to real life,. might be true but not really true. My first year was very okay. Ive started to live my dreams. to be popular and to be exceptional. Everyone was my friend. I am a member of all the clubs, But the most club that I am active the most is the journalism club. I started there as reported, Then i was promoted to photojournalist. They Circulation Manager for the whole school paper. I am not an honor student when i was in high school, i will use the word popular and the school will always ask me to represent them during quizzes bees and competition, am an active member of boyscout as well, Before I was planning to pursue for an Eagle Scout position but I am so busy with schooling. y second year in high was fine as well, but as year goes by things are getting harder and harder, So many things to learn and so many people to please, nut just like what they have said, i don't need to please everybody. Thats the time that Ive realize that its true, it will only prostrate me if I am going to please everybody. If they don't like me, that fine, if they like me, thats cool. One thing Ive realize was having a mother that is a teacher, never help(in some aspect). Most of the people will think and will always expect more from what bis your capability. My om always tell me that I should be a good boy, i should not do anything that will ruin her name and all that stuff. What the hell, I am a human as well, Am a human, am I not capable of committing mistakes? Nobody is perfect, i suppose. Me and other people and even my mom commits mistakes. But thats the hardest thing for me to do, being to good to be true is not my type. My principle is, I am a human, Am not perfect, I might commit mistakes sometimes, but learn from your mistakes, and don't do the same mistake again.,
