“Six years in elementary, four years of pursuing high school career and half a decade of continuous struggle in college.”
What more could I ask for? I mean, was ten long years of exhaustible education not yet enough to return the things I liked best? More playful days and peaceful nights! I never requested for this kind of life, but the fate seemed to be constant about how people should be molded so that we will be prepared for our future.
One time in college, when I was doing my practice set in Elementary Accounting 2, I thought of shifting to another course. Maybe it’s because I didn’t love the work I was performing at the very first place or probably, I was not ready for the challenge – to apply all the learning my teacher had taught me during the whole 2nd semester of my 1st year in Ateneo de Naga University (AdNU). It was a very skeptical scenario, reflecting all the memories I’ve gone through with numbers, computations, memorization of intricate formulas and most of all, the means I needed to analyze problems. “Is life naturally full of predicaments that even if can afford to handle it anymore, still I’m trying to survive?”
Few days had passed and the most gruesome deadline of submission was fast approaching. I asked help from my classmates, but they have also a hard time contemplating on the required solutions. Only then I realized that I have to solely depend on myself and that being a person has something to do with an empathetic commitment to lifetime edification. There were times of relaxation and moments of solving the accounting transactions presented in the booklet.
After sometime of sleepless hours of darkness, I had finished the practice set and presenting it to my professor on time. Then, I felt certain relief that whenever dilemma moves toward my path, there will be definite elucidations to keep me from drowning over the troubles they could cause.
Being a student doesn’t necessarily mean that I must study all the time. It will also be beneficial to find time for myself like doing extra-curricular activities. God won’t give a setback if that hitch has no explicit explanation.
