My Training Ground Towards the Real World.

               I can still remember the time when I have heightened the pitch of my voice while arguing with my parents and insisting my point why I want to take the program which I think would not just lead me towards progressive tomorrows but also would bear gladness in my individuality, AB Communication Arts.

                It seems that it was just yesterday since I have done such very tough, strong and insisting decision. Pages of the calendar are being changed so fast, and within just blink of my eyes, I’m already facing another milestone in my life with the pressure which I’m carrying on my back to prove that I’m really on the right path.

               I’m so glad that my goal is already just a step ahead of me; all I need to do is to dream higher, aim larger, and work harder (not that so hard right?).

              Upon entering the so-called Angeles University Foundation, behind its concrete walls is an institution which has enhanced my capabilities, developed my talents, and molded my character to be a strong and better person.

               Many drastic changes have entered my life, new friends to be with, new professors to deal with, new groups to involve from, and a whole new society where I could be one of.

                There are sweet memories to be cherished, aside from “laftrip” with friends and “kilig moments” with crushes, I’m so glad to be a member of the award-winning dance group, the CAS Beat Breakers which enables me to showcase my dancing skills, to be consistent dean’s Lister and be one of the Top 10 AUF-CAS Junior Students, and being able to show my acting prowess and labeled as a Best Actor.

                But if there are sweet memories, there are also bitter ones (I mean sad). I’m referring to the failures (not to mention my broken-heartedness), failures which I may view then as blessings in disguise. I’m really thankful for such failures for they give me more reasons to persevere and exert more effort to improve my personality and abilities.

               College life is full of challenges; an ocean of paper works, a river of researches, a mountain of exams, a trench of activities, and to sum up, a titanic bed of to-do-lists.

                There’s really no reason for me just to be “happy and (just) go lucky”. I’m already preparing myself to face the tomorrows with a stamp of “global competitiveness” and a man who has been developed for God and humanity…
