Perks Of Being A Scholar: "I Received PhP 3000.00 ($54.32)!"

ARTICLE NO. 110 OF 2022 TITLE: <Perks Of Being A Scholar: "I Received PhP 3000.00 ($54.32)!"> DATE OF PUBLISHING: <AUGUST 06, 2022> How does it feel to be a scholar? Being a scholar enables thousands to billions of students to lessen their financial worries while studying. Pertaining to how the real world evolved, "**not everyone are totally privileged in life, especially in financial aspect.**" Nowadays, many State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) are offering free tuition which also includes the miscellaneous fees. One of it is our university, **Central Luzon State University**. As we became "Officially Enrolled" and upon having our Certificate of Registration, it is stated that our total amount to pay is "**PhP 0.00**". Yes, we aren't paying anything at any amount. However, students aren't becoming fully relaxed. Why? Here's to daily allowance, printing & photocopying fees, foods & accomodations, and other things to be mindful of. In here, scholarships enters the scene. As you know, I am one of those "**pinagpala**" in regards to having scholarship grants. Yes, grants with "**s**" at the end. Meaning, I have more than one scholarships. How many? Four! Yes, F-O-U-R. "I'm flaunting it coz why not? I strived hard & sweated too much to have them all." In this article published by 07.23.2022 entitled as "**Waiting For PhP 10,800.00 ($191.83) And Clothing Benefits**," I shared that I am waiting for the stated amount above to be given to me, any moment by then. And, that's from my 3-scholarship grants. Yes, three. The one which belongs to City Government Scholarship isn't included as I thought that I got to receive my allowance for second semester of A.Y. 2021-2022 by April, few weeks before the Election 2022. https://read.cash/@imanagrcltrst/waiting-for-php-1080000-19183-and-clothing-benefits-b1dcdc50 But, I'm wrong. Why? Just this week, I was informed by a friend that PESO were releasing allowances for high school and college students. And, I was like: "**what?**" How could that be if we already received **PhP 3000.00 ($54.32)** last April. Until it hits me. Maybe, that's just an "**ayuda**" to simply buy our votes. And me, being unaware of, received it and even said "thank you!" Gosh! But, it doesn't lessen my citizenship, right? I ain't aware of it ey. Coz all I thought, that's our scholarship allowance. Hayst! Still, I'm thankful because I am in extreme financial need that time. LOL! And just yesterday (08.05.2022), I received another PhP 3000.00 ($54.32). This time, it's for its real purpose.

Upon receiving it from the City Treasurer's Office, all I am thinking of is "**how to spend it wisely?**" Since I am not a materialistic type of person, I instantly do a simple budgeting inside my mind. And, here's where I spent a portion of it: **PhP 279.00 ($5.03) for school supplies** The school year is about to start in 2-weeks time. So, here I am! At the extreme hype to refill our racks & drawers with school supplies. Begun purchasing items by Wednesday (08.03.2022) at Pandayan Bookshop.

And, tadaaa! Here's what I additionally bought at Novo Department Store and at Super99.

We still have a few pieces of different school supplies here but I opted to refill it all. Why? We preferred to just grab anything whenever we needed one. And, it's more expensive to buy in stores. **PhP 180.00 ($3.24) for afternoon treats & dinner** As a simple treat to the family, I bought cheesy burgers at Angel's Burger + Coca Cola. **PhP 137.00 ($2.47) for laundry essentials** Since Mama doesn't have money, I bought some pieces of laundry essentials for her. Seeing her laundry stocks full, that's enough to make her happy & contented. Overall, I spent PhP 596.00 ($10.74) for these things. And as of now, I'm still left with over PhP 2500.00 ($45.05). 💰 **Where to spend it?** Here: *Upon getting new copy of PSA birth certificate at Cabanatuan City;* *For passport application fees;* *Re-organizing our study area;* and *Funding our SM Cabanatuan trip on August 21.* These are what I liked the most for being a scholar .... "Scholarships contributes upon reducing my and Mama's financial burden. And, decreases future debt." *Believe it or not, we aren't indebted to anyone just to finance my studies. And, I'll be aiming to do that too to my siblings' studies. I and Mama can make it all possible, more perseverance lang talaga.* 🤎
