Everything Happens For A Reason

As you know, I'm currently studying at the largest private university here in Nueva Ecija. I don't know if that information is accurate, but that's what I read according to their page's description. If I could rate their marketing strategy, I would rate it 11 out of 10. Aside from their affordable tuition in my perspective, as it is not that huge compared to other schools, they also offer a free sim card daily with a monthly data allowance. Sounds impressive, right? They also give distressful tuition payments where you'll pay for every exam instead of one direct cost. It is also one of the universities that can look at us without prejudice. They are not looking at your intelligence but also don't glimpse your marital or financial status.

This journey is not what I have planned, though. I'm not expecting that I am still capable of studying, although I came up with failures. Imagine you're motivated to learn at your university as it will be the key to your success, but that's not what happened according to His plan. Believe it or not, my university is not designed for me as their examining your performance when you were in your high school. Hence, their primary motive is to assess what you are today and to improve it more. If I had just enrolled early in this university, I might be qualified for the HK scholarship by taking their exam. But as I stated in the title, everything happens for a reason.

Despite the problems I experienced in life, I'm still grateful to those who helped me soar higher despite my previous rejections and difficulties. It is also why finding time to read your articles is such a difficult task. Not technically complicated, but time and laziness is my primary opponent in doing it. I realized that this failure led me to a better opportunity than pushing myself to something impossible.

Yesterday in our NSTP subject, my adviser shuffled our names to ask questions about ourselves. When she called my name, she asked me what the most painful part of my life that brought me a better opportunity was. Then, I didn't hesitate that the most painful thing in my existence was the failure I experienced in admission to CLSU.

After I answered that, I didn't expect that she also experienced failure in the entrance exam. All of us become shocked, of course. But in my case, I forgot since they just based your capability according to your requirements. Her motivational side story became my strength and motivation to continue the path I'm stepping on today.

Imagine if I studied in public, maybe I would not find the true happiness I want in my college life. Stress is already a part of our academic journey, but I can say that I am happy because of the professors I met. They are easy to interact with and won't allow you to be left behind. Apart from my teachers, all of my classmates have only a goal in life, and that is to pass. I am also starting to like my course, which is BSBA - Major in Banking and Microfinance. It is not that hard compared to BSA, my dream course, but I decided to settle into something more manageable.

If you are curious about how I will pay my expenses, I'm glad my uncle will finance all my costs, from our tuition per semester down to my fare during face-to-face. He will also help my cousin to study as we both failed in that public school I resented a month ago. Therefore, even though some of my classmates have a lavish lifestyle, I can attest we are still blessed in our way. If I can't be advanced in them by material things, why not aim to be better in being diligent?
