-graduation-

i woke up one morning and realized that i'm not a kid anymore. after my practicum days, i felt that people expected more from me. in my family, my parents expects a lot from me. they want me to take charge in our family business. i felt pressured, but when i've come to realize that, i just see it as an opportunity to grow. at first, i felt that they want to limit my capacities, but later on, i've realized that they wanted to expand my potentials. this is also an avenue where i apply some concepts that i've learned in school, because my degree deals with people at work.
this serves as a training ground for me. this is my edge, this is something that i could prove to my future employers. i was not able to get into the dean's list, but my grades were ok naman eh.

college life will never be the same without the people who have inspired me. college life was a mystery, at first. but now, it's a treasure. college is the golden age of my life (i guess, i've said this before). i may not be an academic achiever, i may not be the most brilliant person in class. but, i have something to be proud of myself. it's the lessons that i've learned, no grade can amount to that. i will never forget atty bong lopez and sir galan. two professors that made a great impact in my life. learning will never be the same without them.
atty. bong lopez- i can describe him as a terror of reason. he bitches about everything and offered a different perspective in life. i've learned that being a student doesn't stop at school.
he exudes passion in molding us. what sets him apart from the other professors is that he was able to produce individuals that makes a difference. i admired him because he pushed me to become more of what is expected from a normal student. he is not only successful in his carreer, but he is also successful in his vocation.
sir galan-the fagot of the literature. he made me become aware of my rights of being a woman. he even told the class "kaya kau, magka-degree muna kau." i began to value education more. later on, i considered myself as a feminist. i became assertive of my worth. because of the lessons that he told us, i've realized how great it is to become a woman.
i will miss the moments where my convictions were challenged. i will never be the same without these people.

now it's about time to take another step. ito na ang tunay na karera ng buhay. i know that i don't have to fear antyhing because im ready to face the challenges ahead of me. with those four years that i've spent in college, it's about time to prove myself.
