I came from a not so wealthy family but not so deprived of everything or very poor. We are happy in spite of the loss of my beloved father when I was only 6 years old. My mother instill in our young minds that for self improvement education alone is the only inheritance we can get from them and can be pass on to our children. It can never be stolen; it can only be shared or given.
During my childhood days I still reminisce the times when me, mom and my brother would share stories every weekend. The stories we talk about, to improve our communication and written skills, are found in the books purchased by mom for the two of us. These stories should have something to be learned from, we really find this fun, amusing and a touching experience aside from the fact that we enjoy talking with each other. My family and I was able to learn from each others point of view.
When life gives you so many things to feel hurt, what will you do? Spend some time alone mesmerizing all the happy memories. Read a book to improve yourself, pray for spiritual guidance. In every corner of your household when bringing back the memories of yesterday.
Looking back to the years when I go to school, it was not such a bad but not all good experience. I love learning new things, discovering, exploring anything that caught my curiosity especially with computers, and medically related stuffs in terms of books but also hands-on experience for the pc.
I’ve got new friends, dealt with my teachers, classmates and everyone whom I socialize inside the school. Library was the favorite spot that gives me tranquility or peace inside out as well as improvement to develop myself. But then, everyone has its own fate. Not everything that is good all throughout will turn out just fine. The decision is really hard to let go of my studies due to a problem but then I leave it to fate again when time comes I’ll have a good ending. If only I can finish, I will still continue what I started and it will be for excellence.
Nowadays there are lots of youth who tend to shrug off their shoulders when you’ll bring up the talk about excellence, studying or succeeding in life. There are few individuals who would like to burn the midnight oil these modern days. Why not?! Why do you need to sleep at the middle of the night or crack of dawn just to review for examinations, researches for all your homework, classroom reporting that gives you a stage fright or a nervous breakdown?! It will just give you a very difficult time, isn’t it?
One of my classmate told me, you know having a grade of satisfactory or pass is more than enough for me. Besides I’m not a student who aspires for the honor roll, I don’t need to maintain my grades in the top level. All I want is too pass. Look at you who strives so hard to get an excellent grade, you're such weird looking already. I’m not making my life so difficult for me, why should I? That is our conversation.
To be honest, I myself would like to have a break of studying, who wouldn’t, right? We are so contented of ourselves with only passing every subject that we have in our school instead of being recognized as a smart ass. We tend to have the attitude that settles for a route which is less complicated, the one that doesn’t need hard work or instant luck for example winning the lottery.
It’s a fact everything is just passing by, even our younger years will not go back, and our studies in College days are the same in this perspective. Our opportunity will come only once too, it will never knock twice.
You would like to be called as cool? You keep on going to movie premiers instead of going to classroom discussions and listen to your teachers. Be reminded of the saying: "Study first before pleasure." Yet it's still your choice yourself and to tell those who love studying; I am very cool right now, you who keeps on studying just make it too hard for yourself. Just go to department stores for shopping, go to party with friends, listen to the live concerts rather than the musicals in your humanities class project, but what will future lead you when those un-cool guys savor such excellent jobs with their nice paychecks on a monthly basis after the graduation times comes in?
When you strive to excel in your class, it's never a bad option to take; it will only need perseverance, effort, as well as hard work. Always remind yourself of the good rewards that hard work on studies will give you in the future. And besides it is hard to get a job when your not licensed graduate student of any course. Chances will be, you and your family will suffer in poverty when time comes. A life in poverty is not so cool, you might not even go to movie premier because even a single bread you cannot afford.
The choices we made along the way in reaching a successful lifestyle should always be for the goodness of others. The future marked upon us or the youth of today. We as the youth are the hope of the future when the leading industries depend on us. But if your choices had been very weak due to carelessness, educational training grounds then what lies for the future?
You need to stand out, be Brilliant or Be Unique. You will never be a defect in a society when you excel because you are unique from them! This society we live are in need of someone who has an ideological idealism, those whose principles can never be broken even by storm or fire, they stand by it. Adopting that principle of mediocrity will give your life a very defective lifestyle; education should embrace uniqueness in everyone.
