ABM STUDENT'S LIFE




Being a student is fun, but it does have its up and down sides. For most students it is the first time that they have left home and is therefore somewhat disconcerting. The realization that there is now no mechanism around to take dirty smelly clothes and magically transform them into clean ones is a horrible one. There is also the feeling that nobody at university particularly cares about you, or how you are doing. This is not true; courses come complete with a whole bunch of people who are there to provide support.

June 13, 2016, our class got start. I am a freshman student of STI Balagtas which pursue the ABM Strand. The main reason why I choose ABM, it is because it is my interest. Going back to my story, before I enter the campus, nervous and excitement is visible in my face. Before going to my room, I just check in the board what section I am. After I see the names of my classmates, my heartbeat pumps faster than before. I have no idea who are they and what school they are come from. I’m asking myself “Can I easily communicate with them?” “Who among them will be my friends?” “What I’m going to do after entering the room?” “Do I need to say hi or hello?” Those questions are bothering my mind that day. But I try to ignore those and confidently enter the room. You know what? It is awkward to be in my position that day because as I look around, most of them have a friend from their former school while I have nothing at all. As day passed by, I find new friends. Even though we came from different schools, it doesn’t serve a struggle for us to bind together. If before, we feel shy to each other but now, we’re like brothers and sisters. In terms of education, being an ABM student is a wonderful experience. I have been experience something new within choosing this strand. Although there are a little bit adjustments because Senior High School is between the Junior High School and College. It wasn’t easy like Junior High School and a little bit difficult like college. The subjects are like the subjects in college. The good thing about being a first batch of K 1o 12 program is there are considerations. Our teachers are helping us to adjust with our new environment. As an ABM student, I experience to sleep late night because I have many things to do, to be independent because I know there are times that I will only be the one that can help me, to have an advance study to pass my subjects, to have a headache because I can’t solve some mathematical problems and to be stress because of many activities I need to do. Maybe some of you will be afraid to take this strand, but one thing I can assure you: those suffering can make you a better person. You will grow. Your learning will expand. Your knowledge will enhance. You would be the best version of yourself. In a moment, you will realize that you can do thing that you think you can’t do. I am enjoying my subjects even though it sucks me. It is like I am a nail hitting by a hammer, but I know there is a successful outcome if I have a wisdom and perseverance. 

We all have different experiences about being a student. Let me know yours?
