I’m Not Helping You If You’re Not Gonna Help Your Self
Hey there, hello hello everyone! How’s it going? It’s been a while since my last published article in here. I've been inactive for a few days, but I still read some of the other users' articles in here because I come here when I have free time to read some articles and to keep up with what's going on here in read cash, even though I didn't publish anything. Because of my extremely hectic schedule and a mountain of duties, I couldn't just interact more. But, thankfully, I have some free time right now, and I was able to read a few articles and interact with other users earlier.
For today's article, I'll be sharing some common topics that I'm sure most students here can relate to. Because we have a lot of tasks to do and most of them need group work, it is expected that I have been dealing with my groupmates and other students for the past several days.
"I’m Not Helping You If You’re Not Gonna Help Your Self"
Are you the sort of student who just simply allows your classmates to copy your answers? Or are you the sort of student who, rather than allowing your classmates' to parrot all of your answers, teaches them how to solve the problem so that they may learn and come up with their own ideas and solutions?
If you are the first one, then you’re probably the "one call away" classmate that is willing to share all of the answers with his or her classmates as well. But, for how long are you willing to let your classmates have the same answers as you? The answers to the math problem that you’ve been solving for almost an hour and just giving it to your classmate, who didn’t do anything but just waited for you to finish answering. Isn't it also a little unfair considering you've put so much effort into it?
That is why every time I read or hear the phrase, "Let’s help each other so we can graduate together," it just makes me wanna throw up. I may sound so mean, but I suppose I really am, because not everyone is deserving of assistance. How can we help you if you aren't helping yourself? How can we support you if all you do is sit around whining about everything? How can we help you if you are unwilling to develop new knowledge?
I have these groupmates who didn’t even bother to know what the group task was. And only a few of them messaged me asking what they could do to help with the tasks. Out of eight members, only two approached me asking about the group tasks, and the rest didn’t even bother reading the messages in our chat group. Every time a message is sent to our chat group to update everyone, the same people who approached me are the ones who reply to my messages, and the rest are all left on seen.
I ended up doing the group task all by myself because the deadline was already near, and when I messaged our chat group that it was already submitted, dang, the same people were only thanking me. Just so you know, I am not smart, I swear. I am not smart, but I only know a little. "Marunong lang ako, pero hindi ako matalino."
You know what irritated me the most as a student? Seeing other students, just rely on other students or classmates to get them through the school year. They practically passed due to the help of their peers. The terrible aspect is that the majority of individuals who don't bother completing significant stuff in class are fortunate, but those who aren't are eager to learn and committed to their class.
The irony is that those who have more privilege are the ones who whine the most about education, but others who have battled do not grumble at all.
Jini's Note:
Hey there, I missed you guys so much, though I've been inactive and out for a few days it feels like a month already LOL. I am not sure if I can still publish tomorrow, it depends if I have free time, but I will try to interact from time to time.
But still. thank you so much my awesome and fabulous read cash buddies for spending a minute of your time reading this article of mine. I really appreciate your presence here.
