We know that March is usually the month where graduation is conducted. Graduation is one of the memorable events of every people around. For me, this one of the event that will just pass by again on my life for I can’t graduate this year. The year that I must graduate was actually last 2010. Unfortunately, an unexpected thing happened when I was in second Year College that cause me to stop at that time. My knee were starting to lose control and there was a time that when I woke up I can’t feel my knees and had a hard time to walk. That is why I have decided to stop from schooling and it caused me not to graduate on the year I supposed to graduate. I also got failed on one of my subject during the 2nd semester in first year.
After months of rest, I came back to finish my studies at the same school. Unfortunately, a new curriculum was been imposed on the course that I have enrolled. I cannot catch-up some of the subject of the old curriculum because it is not offered in the new curriculum. So, I decided to shift into new curriculum which caused me again to add an additional years on my stay in college. That is why I cannot graduate this year.
I was once a top student during my high school years and became one of the top 10 of the graduating class. I just realized just this month that I’m the only one that is left in the top 10 student who have not graduated yet in college. I just want to share with you the course of the top 10 students on my batch:
Top 1: Registered Nurse (just passed the Board exam last December)
Top 2: Registered Nurse (just passed the Board exam last December and there was a rumour that she graduated as a Cum Laude)
Top 3: Registered Teacher
Top 4: Graduate with the course of BSIT (became Cum Laude of the school he attended)
Top 5: Graduate of Vocational Course
Top 6: That’s me. No recognition yet! T_T
Top 7: Registered Teacher
Top 8: Graduated with the course of BSIT (Also a Cum Laude on the school she attended)
Top 9: Graduate of Accountancy
Top 10: Graduated with the course of Midwifery
I asked my self why is it that I can’t still graduate? I answered jokingly to my self that,"nalingaw pa ko sa ako college years ug wala pa ko nahangol ug graduation. haha".I also posted this on facebook and someone reacted on it. He made a comment on my post, “pakyas...kaluoy pud mo sa inyong parents oi...wew...bahala mo oi, datu man cguro mo...”. I was shocked on what he had posted. I made argue with him but later I just ignore him because he doesn’t know me for who I am and what I am facing off right now.
I just have a realization to myself that, it’s is just okay if you cannot graduate on the year you should expect to graduate. When you will graduate, the things that you will do is to find a job so that you can earn for a living. You can do that even you are still a student. It’s a matter of hard work and willingness to achieve your dreams a long as you can get it. There’s no impossible if you really want to achieve something in your life. But I really want to graduate right now because I want to show to my parents the hard work that thy have done just to finished my studies in college.
