Graduating is what every individual's dream. Right now I have in mind is all about graduation. We might have asked ourselves, “Can we graduate?”,”Are we going to graduate as a batch?” or “Will someone be left behind?”, these are just some of the questions we have in mind. It is about one month to go then we will all go to college.
“Oi, unsay course imong ganahan kuhaon inig college?”, “Asa ka mu-school?”, these are just some of the questions which I heard from my classmates. Since the beginning of the school year, i am really confused on what to take up in college. I have a lot of preferences but by balancing the possibilities or the possible outcomes, somehow made me very confused.
“Pag – teacher day ha,inig dako nimo kay aron dako ka ug suweldo.”, this phrase is what I always hear from my aunts and parents. I t somehow influenced me in dreaming of becoming a teacher. Since my childhood days, I really dreamed of becoming one. It is because I was influenced by the easiness and the big salary if you are a teacher. Teachers also are in demand abroad. Another thing that influenced me are my aunts, who are all teachers. One is a college teacher in VISCA, the other is an elementary teacher in Lahug Elementary School and the other is a high school teacher in Mactan National High School. Being a teacher is my firs choice to take up when I am in college.
Then when I am in elementary, my mathematical ability was enhanced. This was because most of time I joined a lot of contest in math and fortunately I grabbed all the top prizes. With what had happened, it then started my enthusiasm to take up Accountancy or BS Management or BS Mathematics. I was amazed because I had this hidden talent of mine. It then started my confusion. As time passes by, this enthusiasm of mine slowly diminished. My mathematics ability started to decline where in my grades decreases. It then let me feel frustrated. Then I was then ashamed because my friends have thought me to be a math whiz but then my grades not that high. So it then confused me again.
I asked advices from my parents but they said that any course will do for as long as I could handle the subjects and it will give me a brighter future. With that I was very encouraged and at the same time I was challenged.
I also wanted to take up Nursing for I want to go abroad and know that nursing is also in demand abroad and i really dreamed of going to abroad. With Nursing, I can earn a lot of money. Tis won't happen if I myself will not be patient enough and will not do any hard work. If I am going to take up Nursing, my dreams will all be fulfilled. These are just some of the things that is on my mind but up to now I still do not know what to take up in the near future.
