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?
