On our last day for the subject Financial Accounting 1 (FINAC1), last discussion day for our exam, my professor left a hanging question: Sure na ba kayo next sem? (Are you sure to continue the next sem?). We have talked about him being our professor for next semester, that's why he left us with that question :)
Well, this first semester in my second year in college has been very difficult for me.. And I say this has been the most challenging I've ever had in my school years. But, the challenge became an advantage for me. Honestly, I am the type of person who's competitive, in a way that I don't want to be the least in the class. I don't want to have a low grade when others have high. So, challenge accepted.
The preliminary part of this semester was tough, I am studying ENOUGH for my major subject (FINAC1) but still I fail or get zero in quizzes and seat works. I study hard in my major subject and sacrifice a little of my minor subjects. I face the book every night with ENOUGH time but I still can't get a good score. That's how critical the situation for me. And, knowing I have the grade of 2.5 in my major subject, this made me realized that I haven't done enough yet. 2.5? When in my previous accounting subjects I have 1.25 and 1.75 plus I am running to be part of the Dean's List. This isn't good, so I have to make a change, a lot of changes in my habit.
In the start of the Midterm, I promised myself to do more of studying so I can get high grade and to recover my grade from the critical situation. I am now studying MORE THAN ENOUGH just to recover my grade. Things went fine, I get perfect quizzes and seat works, though some have mistakes. I face the book until I understand everything in the chapter, I focus on studying and I got the most challenging moment in life. I was just in the kitchen, sitting in the chair, the book on the table, on studying all night long. Grabe! I have done better now. Then, suddenly, a 100% Scholarship was granted to me. And so I am more motivated to study and do things to recover my grade. Everything went fine, got perfect scores, better performance and I am able to share my knowledge with people around me.
On the finals, I gave everything I've got! The best I can, MORE THAN OF MORE THAN ENOUGH. Did everything for my major subject. Assuring every scores to be high. So things went according to my plan, and with the guidance of the Lord, it's according to His will.
This semester is very difficult and yet very challenging. I went down and climb again. I loved it. I learned too many and I know I still have a lot to learn. I have developed my habit of studying and I will study the essential things in my chosen career.
Some have had high grades but just copy in exams and quizzes. Some even leak answers to get high score. Some just depend on answers of the others and they want to have a very high score. This makes me proud that I didn't depend on copying during exams, I just depend on the book and on my own brain. I know someday, I can do better than those who just copy. I'm glad that my seatmate is studious too, makes me wanna study more.
So, what's my answer to my professor's question? Am I sure to continue in the next semester?
Of course I am! I already did my best, I know now how I can do better and at my best for the succeeding semesters. I will finish what I have started and undergo all trials that can make me do better.
Sir, thanks for that challenging question, I am challenged to do better next semester. :)
