My Education Was Not Wasted Blog #66 November 13, 2021 "Sayang yung pinag-aralan, ang agang nabuntis" "Sayang siya, kung sana ginamit niya yung utak niya, di sana nakapagtapos siya ng pag-aaral" These are just a few words I heard from other people when I get pregnant at a young age. They would say that my education was put to waste because when I get pregnant, I won't use it anymore. If I get pregnant, those learnings will just be buried and never be put to use. I get affected by those words they spoke. I became shy to face other people, in short, those words they speak out makes me lose my self-confidence to face others. But after many times of hearing them, I get used to it. I learn to ignore them and just focus on myself and my baby. Did my education put to waste? It's a big no, in fact up to now, I am still using it. I am applying it in my daily life.
When I was in high school, I studied in a private institution where it was managed by nuns. We are molded with many values such as Godliness, Cleanliness, Self-Discipline, etc. In terms of studies, every year level, we are taught different vocational courses like dressmaking, using the manual sewing machine, and high-speed sewing machine. We are taught to make our uniforms too. Though I don't excel in those areas, those things that I learned are used today. Whenever there are ripped clothes/jeans, I sew them so they will still be useful. Sometimes those clothes that I haven't used are converted by making short pants for my kids. Bookkeeping? We are taught about this for three months only. Those lessons are still fresh on my mind. Whenever I am computing our daily expenses, making a budget, and doing inventory on where our money goes, I feel like I was back on those times when our teacher let us do the balance sheets. Culinary? Way back when I was still on my third-year level, we were taught baking some cakes but so sad I wasn't interested that time. It's now that I realize how important it is to be attentive to the teacher but even if I didn't learn many things, I still am grateful that I got little knowledge about baking. I also learned how to cook pancakes.
In my fourth year, we were told to choose what vocational course we would focus on. I chose consumer electronics. We were taught how to repair cellphones and do some wiring in some appliances. Those cellphones that we repair were just the old Nokia phones. Last 2018, the speaker on my phone got damaged. I can't play music so I tried disassembling it and tried to check what was wrong. After disassembling it, I saw that one of the wires that were connected to the speaker was separated. I immediately get the soldering iron and connect it again. Last 2019, our rice cooker was damaged, it suddenly doesn't function at all. After checking it, I now knew what was wrong, it's the fuse. Buying a fuse is another expense for me, so I searched a video on YouTube for an alternative way so I won't spend a penny. A saw a video where I just need to put a wire in both ends of the fuse. After watching that's what I did and viola, the rice cooker is now okay. There are still many things that I have done that I thought I can't but because I am willing to apply all those that I learned, I let myself explore and applied all those knowledge that I acquired. That's all for now! Thanks for reading up here! Flexing my generous sponsors. If you spare time, kindly check their works. I assure you all that you will learn a lot from them. To my upvoters, likers, commenters, and readers thank you so much for your time. I highly appreciate all your efforts! Happy Saturday everyone! God bless and keep safe to all!

Kapag nakagawa ka ng isang mistake sa buhay mo grabe andaming nakakapansin and they tend to judge you easily , pero nababaliwala yung mga achievements at magandang nagawa mo, bat naman ganyan ui! Sabi pa ni Janella Salvador I just gave birth I can still do whatever I want hayst laban lang sis! Huwag mong hayaan idegrade ka ng ibang tao tsk π sorry sis nacarried away lang π .
*That's true sis. Lahat ng bagay na nagawa ay parang nabalewala lang dahil sa isang pagkakamali. Ewan bakit ganun yung iba, di porket naging ganun ay huminto na ang takbo ng buhay namin. Pero kahit ganun pa man ang mga sinabi nila thankful pa din ako. Naipakita ko na hindi napunta sa wala yung pinag-aralan ko.* *Yes sis laban lang, natuto din akong huwag pansinin yung sinasabi ng ibang tao.*
Yon yong mind set na hindi dapat. Diko din dati mapigilan yong mapatanong kung bakit ninais ng mga kababata ko ang magbuntis ng maaga pero naisip ko n lng kapalaran siguro nila at mas mabuti na nga yong ganun at binuhay ang bata kesa nman pinalaglag. At yong pinag aralan di nmn yan mawawala kahit anongangyari sayo basta buhay pa ang tao mapapakinanbangan yan.

*Yes sis mas ok na yung ganyan, na kahit maaga nabuntis, hindi pinalaglag yung bata na kahit minsan nakakarinig kami ng masasakit na salita. Yung pinag-aralan naman namin ay dala2x lang din naman. Hindi naman yan nawala lang bigla dahil sa pagkabuntis ng maaga*
Ganyan talaga ang mga tao kapag nabuntis sabihin ganito ganyan, pero kapag nanganak nah sabihin naman congratulations ππ
*Haha, tinuod jud sis. Ang uban usahay mo ingon pa nga ipalaglag daw ang data, dayon kung nanganak na, ing on dayon ta nga, na kung imo pa ng gipakuha sa una, wala unta kay cute na bata karon. Maglibog man lamang ta anang mga huna2x sa uban oi*
Education is a resource that is never lost. There is always light among the people.The light of education will go through you throughout your life.The lessons you learn can be applied in real life.
*Exactly, those things that we learn are remain in us even if things go wrong and those can be applied anytime in our life.*
Finally you put what you learn in high school to work , it would be fun while doing it
*Yeah it is. Doing and learning at the same time.*
Ganyan naman talaga Yong mga tao ,bqsta tayo ay nagkamali halosnlahat ng ginawang mabuti o maganda natatabunan. Tama ka ang ating mga pinag aralan o mga natutunan ay ating ma gagamit sa mga bagay na alam natin kung paano maresulba .
*True sis, yan ang pinakamasakit na realidad. Yung mga nagawa nating kabutihan ay natatabunan dahil lang sa isang pagkakamali.*
Kaya nga sis ,d ba nila alam na walang perfecto sa mundo
*Ay ewan sis, may mga ganyan talaga. Pero ok lang wag nalang tayo papaapekto sa mga sinabi nila. Kung papansinin natin, tayo lang din yung kawawa eh*
You're very resourceful. Its so nice for people to be handy and skillful nowadays. Education and learning does really help a lot.
*Yes it really helps us a lot* *Thank you*
You are most welcome.
Big deal talaga dati kapag nabuntis ka ng maaga Kesyo hindi kapa nakatulong sa magulang , pero that's life kahit pa anong gawin natin hahanap pa rin yan ng butas para may masabi lang na ikakasira natin kaya never mind nalang those people hindi naman sila nakakatulong sa buhay natin .
*Tinuod jud sis, big deal kaayo na sauna kay lagi sayo daw nag landi2x. Pero sagdan na lang to oi, ingon ana jud ng walay mabuhat na mga tawo, sige lang ug bantay sa uban*
Some people speak too soon without realizing their words can hurt others. It's great that the skills you learned are being applied in your real life today.
*That's true, they are quick to judge other people's lives but even if I experienced those things, I am still thankful for it. Those words make me who I am today, I became stronger and I learn to ignore those negative voices around me.*
Ganyan nmn talaga mga tao sissy sobrang perfect sa sarili, di nakikita ang sarili. Wala naman nasasayang basta alam natin gamitin. Nakapagtapos nga tapos tambay lang edi wow hahaha charrr sama ko
*Haha napatawa mo ako sa comment mo sissy. Tama nga naman yung ibang nakapagtapos natambay nga lang*
Oh diba tama sissy atleast ako kahit walang natapos di nakatambay naging katulong niahahahaha
*Ahaha oks yan sissy, at least may ipon dba, ππ. Yung nakatapos at natambay lang, walang ipon.*
Absolutely sissy hehe
Ganyan talaga mga tao sis,may masasabi't masasabi yan sila,pero di marunog mag correct ng sarili nila,mga mapanghusga kala mo naman mga santo,santa..kainis yung mga ganyan.tapos pag nka ahon ka lalapit sayo hay naku.
*Ay sinabi mo pa sis. Yung mababa pa tayo, ang dami nilang kuda pero pag medyo nakaangat na tayo sa buhay, mabulaklak na yung bibig. Haisst!*
Don't mind those people that blabbing around you they just want to boost their self cause they know someone made a mistake in the past. It's normal in society, the most important thing is do not fight them back, show them that they are wrong and prove to them that you can succeed in life. Anyway I don't know anything about technical vocational but i know something about seeing and of course cooking cause in the chef here at house.
*Yes, ignoring those and proving to them are the best that we can do...Technical voactional courses ay yung may computer class, may introduction about autocad, abo electronics. Yung pagtatahi, EPP subject yan namin.* *Wow chef cook ka pala sa inyo?*
Pag natapos ka
Pag may natapos ka naman at di kapa nakapagtrabaho meron parin masasabi. Ganyan talaga mga tao sis. Galing naman kaya mag ayos kung anong sira sa bahay. Ako wala talaga akong talent jan sa mga electronics ba yan
*Mao jud sis, makalibog usahay ng huna2x sa mga tawo oi...Gamay pa ako nakat onan sis. Practice2x pa lang na siya*
Ganyan talaga mga tao. Kaya ako hindi ko nalang pinapansin,ganyan din sakin. Kesyo sayang ilang years nalang. π π pero kung tutuusin nagagamit din naman natin in daily life kaya paanong masasayang.π π
*Haha ewan ko sa kanila sis, iba yung mindset nila*
I congratulate you. It is so nice to be able to do things for ourselves.
*Thank you so much. Yes it's really good to do some things on our own*
It's good that you didn't let the comments of other people get to you. One thing I believe is that no knowledge is a waste, and our education can always be applied to everything we do everyday. Your education is not a waste, you're clearly applying it be fixing broken appliances in your home which a lot of people won't be able to do
*That's a kind word from you Kushy, thank you so much. Indeed, the knowledge that I learn at school is not put to waste because education is an active method that I kept on applying everyday*
Some people really love to judge and they think that pregnancy is the end of education, when in fact it's a continuous process. They didn't know that what we learned in school can be applied in real life and it will never be wasted even if time passed by. Don't mind them nalang po. Their karma will come, soon...
*Thank you. Totoo nga may mga tao talaga na ang bilis maka judge. Yung akala nila na pag nabuntis yung tao, titigil na yung buhay namin. Pero okay lang yun, hindi ko na pinansin yun ngayon, si Lord na bahala sa kanila*
Sisters of Mary ka nag school sis?
*Oo sis, nag skewla ka didto?*
Akong manghod sis ,hangtod ron naa pa siya ddto ,kay waman ko kahibaw nga naay exam sauna ,kay f kabalo pako mo take ta kog exam.
Education goes far beyond schooling. I believe you're still very much better than some of your contemporaries who boast about their education. Education is never a waste.
*Thank for your kind words! Yes right, education is an active process. Every day we keep on learning and applying all those knowledge that we acquire*
You're welcome Ma'am.π€
Let your success make a revenge Sis. Kahit gaano mo naman ayusin yung life mo, may maninira at maninira parin. Pero I am proud of you na malakas din yung loob mo magpatuloy. Just pray always Sis, more achievements pa magagawa mo.
You don't need to listen or give attention to negative opinion of people about you because no matter how good you are some people will still not like you so just do your thing and make sure everything you do is what makes you happy. Positive energy brings out positive results.
