School

Who says being in school is no fun? That's not true! What is more important to you all? Your ego for the next party or to have a DEGREE in college for a better future? Is it just the laziness that's stopping us to go to school?

In the Philippines, there are a lot more conditions that makes us stop to study. Not just lazyness! Family situations could be a reason, if your family needs you at home. It is sometimes not being able to pay for school, it can be the tuition fees or the price for the school dress.

For being a college student, first you need courage, a strong ability to be able to surpass any circumstances. Then you must be able to finance everything that is about school. The school time can be very depressing especially when it comes to paying for something suddenly in school, like fees for a field trip, and you cannot pay it because you have no money in your pocket. Students coming from a poor family, like myself, are often more motivated because we know about the financial burden for our family and we want to become more successful in the future ...

No matter how hard the times are in school, never give up, especially when you have parents to support you for your study. Don't let them down! Instead let them be proud of you surviving school! Don't ever degrade yourself to your family or to anyone that has no faith in your ability to overcome something, to prove something. Be positive and have faith that's what you needed most!
