School and scholarships

Recently, I saw my university posted about for the incoming scholarship application. It was the scholarship given by the university and according to your GWA last semester will determine if what type of scholarship you will receive. So far, since I studied CvSU, I was a partial scholar because I haven't met the full scholar's requirements. For you to be able to get full scholarship, you need to have at least a GWA of 1.40 and above. The highest GWA I had was 1.44.

Aside from it, what I love to our university scholarship is that you can get back your tuition fee. If you are full scholar, then you will received full tuition. If you are partial scholar, then you will received half of tuition fee. Since my course is quite pricey, I always get atleast ₱4,000-₱6,000 ($76.11-$114.16), exchange rate based on the current price. The problem is I cannot go to school righr now to get good moral because we have a major activity. Perhaps I will go to school next Wednesday.

What do I do after I get my scholarship?

Ever since I started applying for many scholarship including to mayor's scholarship, university scholarship, governor's scholarship and private company's scholarship. I always spend it in a right way. You know scholarship is a privileged given for us, students who did very well on school and I believe it is a fruit of our labor. I do not know if any of you try to have two scholarship at the same time, but I do not do that. I felt quite guilty because I am not the only one who wants to get scholarship. Others are deserving too.

The first ever scholarship I got was way back 2015. Yes, it was seven years ago. I still remember what I bought because I still have it until now. I bought a technical writing books from Booksale. Booksale is a second-handed books, but still in a good quality. Since back then I used to write for school publication, I need some guide and extra knowledge for writing. I bought the technical writing books for $2.67 dollar and $2.15 separately. Now, from time to time, I read those books whenever I found myself in a situation where I forgot some writing technicalities especially the grammar rules.

So far, 60 percent of my books are grammar-related books. I do not know why I always buy books related to writing stuffs. Perhaps it is because of my passion in writing and it is also my first ever passion in my entire life. Some of my friends knew about this, and they gifted me grammar/technical writing books for my birthdays. I prefer books than clothes and jewelries. Books expand your knowledge and imagination. That is how it works and will always be.

What is my least favourite subject?

It is unusual if you have no least favourite subject even one. Since I started schooling, I never thought that I would hate Filipino subjects. Ask me anything about math, english, science and history-related topics, but don't ask me anything about Filipino subjects. To tell you the truth, until now I am so confused about pandiwa, panghalip and something like that. I felt like it's not needed to study it in college. We took Filipino subject from 1st grade until 12th grade. Then you will be surprised to see on your registration form that there is still Filipino-related subject.

I know the value of language and how it distinguishes us from others. However, to study it for a life time in school is really not needed. I used Tagalog to everyday dialogue and I never allow myself to forget it as to what the argument of pro people who wanted Filipino subject stays as part of minor subject in college. Do you think Filipino is really needed to take it up until college?

What is my greatest favourite subject?

I think the very first time I studied and took up history subjects was when I was 3rd grade. I remember we call it Hekasi and Araling Panlipunan. I am so in love to history and economics-related subjects. They are what I am waiting for to everyday schedule. I felt hype whenever I found new knowledge about what happened in the past. It is such as how a certain thing is invented and discover. What makes people fought and wage war to other countries. Who are the prominent people back then which caused a huge change in the world.

Some of you may not like history subjects because they are boring. What's the need to study the past instead to focus in the present and future, that might be your thinking right? Well, I think to study history is to reconnect to the events before. We cannot understand how things work today without understanding how it made before. There is a great value to understand the purpose and objective of a certain thing. I still wonder why greatest inventors lived back then, and few are today?

Is Internet better than books?

We know for a certain thing that internet is widely used now. We can access broad and complex data in just few minutes. It has a tumultuous amount of information which most likely everything you need is on it. However, is internet better than books? In terms of ratio, we know internet has a lot of things including web sites, unlike library only few books can be found. I think the asset and advantage of library is that all books you can found are reliable and was made by professionals. Unlike internet, we are not sure if the author or website is credible and reliable, unless it is on Google scholar.

We cannot deny the fact that internet will win. It is the future of the world and books are gradually left behind. Thus, internet continues to evolve and developed by great companies together with pack of genius computer scientists. But, all the history of the world can still be found on books and they can be passed down generations to generations as to how our ancestors did.

Let us use internet in right way. Do no use it for destruction of other people's moral and life because that is not the purpose of internet. Anyways, to book lovers like me, I know for a fact that my love for books will never fade.
