Graduation Day!!

   Graduation Day is one of the special day which every student is waiting for.. But how important nga ba ang graduation day sa mga students, parents, teachers and family members?? Maybe, for a student like me, it's really important because this is the day where in we can say that our four years of hardships in college is really worth it!! Maybe, for our parents, it is important because lahat ng bagay ay ginawa nila para lang mapagtapos ang mga anak nila at talagang magigigng masaya sila kung makikita nila ang kanilang mga anak na aakyat sa stage, matatanggap ang inaasam-asam na diploma. Kahit sinong magulang matutuwa kapag nakita ang kanilang anak na grumaduate ng college. Sa mga teachers, masasabi nilang worth it din ang mga pagtuturo nila kung makikita nila ang kanilang mag estudyante ay gagraduate na and they did a great part in the life of every students; not just imparting their lessons, sharing their knowledge and experiences but also being a second mother to us and being our role model, and inspiration. 

     Kaya naman, masasabi ko talagang worth it ang lahat ng aking pagod, puyat at pagpapalipas ng gutom.. Di ko malilimutan ang mga moments na na-feel ko talagang college na nga ako and it's really different from high school.  Nandyan ang sleepless nights, cramming for exam, sabay-sabay na deadline ng projects, thesis, experiments in experimental psychology, protocols in Psychometrics and  and Rorschach, Psychological Report in Projective Techniques, mala-board exam sa Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy and etc.. Imagined, kung paano kame nakasurvive sa mga major psychology subjects??

   Finally, tomorrow (April 30, 2013) is the day we are waiting for.. Gagraduate na kame!!! But why I feel this way?excited, masaya and malungkot.. I'm happy kasi sa wakas gagraduate na kame. Malungkot kasi magkakahiwalay na kame ng mga taong nakasama ko at naging kaclose ko for 4 years.. But i'm also thankful because what I always pray to God when I graduated in high school is to enter college but God gave more than what I always pray.  As I was remember 1 month after my graduation, my father lost his job which made us to have financial problem to support my studies. Akala ko di na ako makakapag-aral ng college and that was the saddest moment that i ever had. From the time I feel helpless and hopeless na makapag-aral, i was able to know God more and have faith on him. I always pray na sana makapag-aral ako. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko dati, hindi ko talaga sasayangin ang oppurtunity na makapag-aral. 

    At ngayon, I can't imagined na gagraduate na ako ng college. In my four years in college, I was able to realize that God has best plans to us. Di man ako nakapag-aral sa University na gusto ko but God put me in the place where I will grow, where I will excel, where I will develop my skills and ability, and where i will feel the love, care and support of my friends, classmates and professors. I'm really thankful din kasi in four years of being a college student, may mga achievements ako  kahit na sa tingin ko ang ending ng college life ko is same in my high school life. I didn't expect to be the top 1 in class when I was in fourth year high school pero naging top 1 ako because what I always want lang naman is makapag-aral. at ngayon na naman, di ko naman hinangad na grumaduate with honors pero eto naman, I will graduate in college as Cum Laude. Alam ko sa achievement na ito, may naka-abang ditong expectations lalo na ang next chapter ng aming buhay bilang college graduate is the" real world". Para sa akin, di naman mahalaga ang mga achievements na matatanggap natin, what is important is you did your best, you are motivated ,you have the desire to learn, and the most important is you have faith in God. 

Happy Graduation Batch 2012-2013!! :-)
