A bit of reflection

       Nat Sci 2 (Natural Sciences 2 - Geology and Biology) and Comm III (Communications 3 - Speech Communication) are two of the hardest subjects I encountered during the previous semester. Natural Sciences and speech aren’t really my strong points. However, I had managed to get high grades in those subjects, just when I thought I was only going to get a passing grade of 3. (The highest grade is 1.00, and 5.00 is equivalent to failure.)

       I am so proud to have made such an achievement the previous semester, and I plan on continuing this momentum of getting better grades. This is the proof of my hard work as a student right now, other than application of the lessons. When I’m in my senior year, it would be my thesis. As a student, it would be graduating, even if I don’t have Latin honors, because by then, I would have proven to myself, and everyone else, that I could do it.

       The girl who used to just get by with average grades, had entered and graduated from a university that prided itself for having students that have both honor and excellence. I want to give back to this university that have already taught me so much in such a small amount of time, who knows what I may learn more before I graduate!

       There’s still so much time, so many things to learn. As these small pieces of paper show proof that I am not as bad as I thought I was, I have more belief in myself that if I put my mind and body into what I do, I can pass with flying colors.

       This is also proof that I am not wasting my time, or anyone else’s, while I stay in this university. My parents are not paying for naught. I am making the foundation of the future that I want to have, that I have always dreamed to have. This is proof that what is initially hard, just asks for the extra effort. I gave it, so I got to learn a lot, and get good grades. For me, I could live in peace knowing that all those nerve-wrecking exams and stage-fright-filled mornings weren’t wasted. I came out a better person, even from just these two subjects. You’d be surprised on how much I learned from my majors that previous semester.
