discover what you like. You have to work on stuff you like, if you want
to be good at what you do.
Nagsisimula ang lahat ng yan, sa pagpili ng course! Back in HS, I had
two choices: Una, Molecular biology major in biotechnology at second,
International studies, major in European languages. Intense diba? I
chose this kasi ung tunog nia mukhang pang matalino eh. But then, I
failed UPCAT and ACET. So I ended up taking BS Legal Management sa
SanBeda. Little did I know, that I was born to be a lawyer.
College is a whole new world. It is never comparable to HS. It is like a
walk in the park, only thatits Jurassic Park. I can still recall, first day
nun college, so magpapakilala, I was likeim steven gala, from sariaya
quezon, you can see in their faces parang shock na shock e,
probinsyano paguwi ko, I told my mom, Mama, uuwi na ako, ayaw
ko na dito and she told me, you have to prove them wrong, youre
better than them So, wala akong nagawa, inisip ko na lang, if they can
do good, I can do better. I learned to adjust and to adapt, I found good
sets of friends, I lived a balance life, Skul-bahay,-fun, skul-bahay-fun.
With this formula, I was able to graduate on time with Academic
Distinction, In fact, hayaan nio akong magyabang-- never akong
nawala sa Deans list---astig no?, and that for me is quite an
achievement. Who would have thought, 2x nga lang ako nahighachiever e.
Why am I telling you this? Kasi I want you to know, that I was once a
NOBODY. And that never hinders me to continue with my dreams.
College may seem like steps away from the real world but its also
miles away from what high school was like. In college, the stakes are
higher and the challenges tougher. Simply put, youre bound to learn to
stand on your own two feet, every step of the way. So im giving you
this survival guidelines.
First tip:
Know your Passion. Sbi ko nga, you need to do discover what you like.
You have to work on stuff you like, if you want to be good in what you
do.
Pangalawa, Find good sets of friends. Your high school friends are going
to make new friends, and so will you. No, this doesnt mean, however,
that your friends forever sumpaan wont matter anymore. But it does
mean that things will be different. Youre all going to have friends that
the others only hear about from stories or nakikita lang dahil naka-tag
sa instagram.
Third, live a balance life. Go to class, or it will go on without you. On
that note, dont spend naman all days and night in the library. Grades
are important, but that General average do not define you. Its okay to
stay in sometimes, but go out as much as you can. Years from now
when you look back at your college experience youre going to want to
talk about your awesome stories, not your awesome grades. In other
words, ok lang mag pachill-chill, basta aral-aral din.
Pang-apat, savor every moment. College life means independence.
Freedom.
And lastly, be Batman, Yes, si batman, the mere mortal, orphan, no
supernatural powers, only average human strength at nagsusuot ng
brief sa ibabaw ng pants.
There are three simple lessons, I learned in the story of Batman that I
wish to impart to you: First things first, I am not telling you to dress up
like a bat and fight crime. No, The First lesson I learned from Batman is
