A little bit of history!
Now that I have finished my introductory entry to my diary I'm feeling a little bit better than before! Whoopee!!! I just need a little bit more time to internalize about what has happened in my life before I started this 'coz I wanna put a sort of history in here...
Lets turn back time a little bit here, say about 10 years from now...
...10 years ago I was still in highschool. I practically grew up in that school 'coz I studied there from kindergarten to grade 10. Basically I spent 11 years of my life in that school. That institution played a big part in my life, in terms of making me in what I am today. I learned that you can never learn enough because we are living in a world that offers endless possibilities. That basically made the excuse "there's nothing else in here" invalid. And you know what? I kind of like that 'coz I never really wanted to be idle. But I'm getting ahead of myself... so let's go back to my beloved alma mater.
Let me describe my school... First of, I studied in UPIS, that school in Diliman that is part of a much bigger institution: University of the Philippines. I'm proud of the fact that I got the opportunity to study in my school. In fact I would go on record that if given a choice to go to another school, I would still choose UPIS. It might not be a private and exclusive school but it is definitely the best among the rest. I remember what one my professors told my class: "you are the cream of the crop". To be honest, at that time we thought it was just crap. Her way of saying that we should do our best to listen and pay attention so that we could learn something because we have the potential to be more that what we are at that point. But as I look back now, we really did have the potential to be the best. Before, we never really thought of the difference of the way we were taught. We actually assumed that our professors were just slacking off because they are just letting us do the researches on our own while in other schools, the information they need is was readily given to them. But you know what, that kind of system actually thought us to be responsible, to rely on ourselves for something that we need instead of looking to others to get what we want. And for that lesson alone, I would always be thankful to my alma mater. (end of part one.)
