I go t so many lessons learned from my College life. During my stay in De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, I get to experience and go through hardships in life which I didn’t expect that I would be facing and that I would also be able to get through. But the most significant thing about it as for me was that I learned and I’m carrying… or rather, holding forever in my life.
Way back high school, I get to be so easily frustrated about things undone, tasks that are not given so much attention, uncooperative and free riding group mates and the like. Because of that, I, honestly don’t have a lot of friends. It’s because there is much competition in our class since we belong to the top section. I could say that we are the apple of the eye of our teachers and almost all of the students in our campus know us most especially I who is the editor-in-chief of our school paper. There are many competitions wherein I was able to bring the bacon home. But still, despite all those, I have but a little friends.
But as soon as I got into college, everything changed… I am already a nobody.. and in fact I was starting from scratch…new professors, new environment, and most especially new classmates. I thought at first I will never be able to gain friends immediately because in my mind, they were like scary….. haha….. but I was absolutely wrong…I was able to be in a block section that is so much ideal for me and I really love it…I really love my classmates…
They were the ones who were with me as I go through the challenges I faced in this college life and I also was beside them during their tough times. I learned to be a true friend in my stay in CSB and my being grade conscious really was lessened. Although I still care about my grades, I’m not more into it already.
I learned to socialize with a lot of people… people with different attitudes. I also learned that the most important thing while you are studying is to focus yourself into it.. which I honestly was not able to do… not because of my friends or barkadas but because of my self pleasures…
But then, despite my failures and mistakes, one thing that made my college life special was that I saw myself that I am weak.. vulnerable…. and with that I understand God’s power in my life that He is far big than all of my problems… that He will always be beside me no matter what… and that was the best thing I learned in my college life…
