Since the market is quiet by this time, and we don't have internet connection, I will try to make an article, about on how my childhood dream became the dream that I am pursuing right now.
Since when I am a child or when we were a child, our parents will keep asking us "what we want to be when we grew up". So as what I always heard from them that engineers is one of the professions that offer a high salary. Then I always tell them that I want to be an engineer. So as a child I don't really know how hard was the responsibilities of an engineer. I remember how happy I am when wearing the hard hat of my uncle who attempts to finish engineering but he didn't make it due to poverty (may his soul rest in peace), I really think that I will be an engineer someday.
But, as I get old and get to know the reality, I start to think if I am going to pursue engineering courses upon knowing the real job of an engineer, and how difficult the way that I need to pass through before to be an engineer. I am hesitant so I have my second choice which is to be an accountant. Yeah, I love math over any subjects that's why I like the courses that have mathematics in the curriculum.
From elementary into junior high school, my teacher in mathematic know me as a responsive student in class, since I am really interested in the lesson, but I am not "pabibo" HAHA. As what I told earlier that I am hesitant to take engineering and has my second choice to take which is accountancy. Unfortunately, when I am to enter senior high school, I need to choose a strand, choices are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), ABM (Accountancy, Business & Management), HUMMS (Humanities and Social Sciences), and GAS (General Academic Strand).
As you can see, engineering and accountancy differs in strand, so I need to choose one. So my decision is my first choice which is the engineering, I am afraid that time. Since senior high school, I am not that active in class. Even if I know the answer, I am not answering until the professor called me. I became afraid because I am transferred into other school, where students are intelligent. I don't want to compete so I just lowkey sitting and listening to the interaction of the professor and my classmates. I used to that kind of situation, that's why I brought it into college HAHAHA. On graduation, fortunately with that kind of attitude I still be able to graduate as with honor.
College time, the most difficult stage before I obtain my childhood dream. This time I need to choose the major engineering course I will pursue. Since I don't really what major I want to, I asked my parents and cousins. Upon surveying, I decided to choose Petroleum Engineering as my major. I expect too many math subjects, and I know I will enjoy it HAHAHA may lakas na ng loob. So fortunately, from first year up to present, I am a regular student that had a grade of two 3.00 and no 1.00 HAHAHA so mostly my grades was 2 point something, unless it is math/calculus.
At present I am a fourth year Petroleum Student, I am hoping to graduate on time but I think thesis will not let it happen HAHAHA. So that's all. I hope all the students who read this, will passed this semester and the following.
Thank you for reading! I hope you read my next articles! I love you all, guys. God bless us all.
Hello there!👋 Well, I must say, magsipag lang talaga at wag na wag susuko agad sa pangarap. I know you can do it. Been there, mararanasan mo talaga yung struggles of being a student, but pag pursigido ka talaga na matupad ang mga pangarap mo, kahit anong pagsubok pa yan, makakahanap ka talaga nang solusyon para dun.
Anyways, hindi naman talaga madali din yung course mo hehe. Ako nga eh, meron ako'ng 3.0 sa major subject ko pa.. Skl. :)
