“The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished”

We all know that every people have their own accomplishments in life that they are proud of. I, like others, have accomplished something that I thought I can’t, which is really difficult if you will not persevere. The story goes like this… our teacher in journalism gave us an advance project for us to do. This project will be for the fourth grading. Our grade for the fourth grading will come from it because we have no more thing to do for we have already finished our annual school paper. She gave us this project as a group so that we could finish it. Months have passed and we still have started yet. Until it was only a week before that we realized that we have wasted months for it. So, we rushed to do it. We spend nights just to accomplish several articles. We even didn’t come to school for a day just to pass it. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it. As a punishment, our teacher made it as an individual project. All of us must pass a newspaper, all the articles must be written by ourselves, and must be submitted within a week. I almost loose my hope while I am thinking how will I start that. Many questions come into my mind if I can accomplish it within a week. And I also said that, if we didn’t make it as a group, what more if it is individual?? When I got home, I immediately think of it. First, I think of topics to be developed and start doing it. Fortunately, my sister helped me to encode them in the computer. It was already the deadline tomorrow and I still have to make some articles. While I was doing it, I was crying. I cried because I’m afraid that I can’t make it. And if I will didn’t make it, I will get a failing grade. I spend the night doing it until I accomplished it. I was so happy to make it. It’s as if, a torn was picked from my heart…

.,.third meeting.,.

Maybe, some would say, "ay, ang KJ naman". but, honestly speakin', I wasn't able to attend the Freshmen's Night for a special reason. Some would say that it was succesfully and terrifictly done! Others would say, it was boring! Anyway...One of my significant classroom experiences gives me the feeling of being ashamed. It was supposedly the third day of my days in MCL but becomes the second day because of the holiday the previous day. It was on June 20, that I entered the wrong classroom. I really forgot about my classroom schedule that day. I entered the room seated at the back. I am wondering why my classmates are not yet there because it was already 7 o’clock. I also noticed that my classmates are different. I only knew it when the professor for that class entered the room. I immediately run out of the room and go to my assigned room. I really feel so ashamed with that. From then on, I have always checked my CM to know where is my designated room for the day. And I have learned that I should always have the presence of mind wherever I go. =>

.,.second meeting.,.

My first week in Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) was quite difficult because of the transition of high school to college. Meeting new friends and classmates from different schools is another sort of knowing how to get along with them. On my first day at MCL, I was very nervous as if I have a butterfly in my heart to enter our room and don’t know where to sit because I haven’t known them. But later on, my nervousness stopped when I met new friends. Another thing is the time allotted for every course was too long for me at first. But now, I’ve already made some adjustments about it because when I was in high school, there is only an hour for each subject.I find my classmates very friendly and easy to be with. They are all approachable and all of us in the class were now "friends". About my courses, I find them interesting because other courses are not taken in high school. I hope that I can gain more knowledge about these courses. And in order for me to meet this gaining more knowledge, I have to be interesting with it and spend more time studying. A little bit sorts of adjustments are what I still have to meet such as being more active in participating in class and to lessen my shyness, and also, honestly, I have to be with the internet most of the time to conduct searches and do my requirements.

.,.first meeting.,.

>>How does Values Education work to your advantage?<<
· Values Education is an advantage for me because it teaches and molds us how to become a better person. People must posses such values in order to attain and achieve their goals and dreams in life. People must not take advantage of this course. This course actually influenced us the right things to do that we sometimes think that it’s wrong.

>>After you have processed your first few experiences at MCL, in what way this help you achieve successful advantage in college?<<

· Being optimistic, persevering and hopeful will help me achieve successful advantage in college. Always put everything that you will do in your heart so that it won’t be hard for you to do things. In this way, you will learn to appreciate every little thing that you can do. Being optimistic and persevering will help you to become an excellent professional.
