Never Stop Learning *Not an Hindrance* Yesterday, while I was helping my youngest son in answering his printed worksheets in Filipino subject, their lesson for this week is about understanding the main idea of a story by the way, there was this short story that they needed to comprehend. The story was about the girl who graduated cumlaude. The girl’s name was Mary Ann Rosuman, born and raised in Ilocos Sur. People were happy about her achievements not only because of her intelligence but the dedication she gave in her studies despite being different to everyone. Her disability didn’t stopped her to be on top of her class. With the help of the people around her, she was able to finish her college education with flying honors. Quite inspiring right? *Free Education* I’ve heard a lot of inspiring stories like this in the past. Stories of successful people who been into different situation in life but was able to overcome the hardest challenges and well now enjoying the fruits of their labor. Yesterday I watched my favourite noontime show on tv. In one of their segments “Bawal Judgemental”. Just a quick information about this famous gameshow on tv for non Filipinos *“Bawal Judgemental” is a game where players are tasked with the responsibility of identifying the correct choices among a group of people with distinctive characteristics, past experiences, and emotional revelations. credit* ***here*** https://eatbulaga.fandom.com/wiki/Bawal_Judgmental So going back to the show yesterday, what really catch my attention while watching the show was the girl who was a part of choices, The girl’s name was Bel, she was the first one to be interviewed, and was revealed to be a an scholar of the show since high school up until she graduated in college. She gave a short message to the show expressing how grateful she was for giving her the chance to be educated. She also mentioned that she wouldn’t be what she is or whom she is right now because of the free scholarship she got from the show. Truly she is an inspiration to everyone because she didn’t waste the opportunity given to her, instead she studied a lot harder in order to reached what she is now.
*The Message* Not everyone are lucky enough to continue their education up until college. I know a lot of people specially in my province, where they were contented with secondary education and starts working at a very young age to helped their families. While some started making their own family right after high school, one of the reason they stopped getting higher education because they needed to focused on their kids. Being poor should not be an excused to continue our education. If people like Maryann despite being a person with disability can strive with her study, I am sure you can too. Bel on the other hand got a free education because of scholarship. There were many foundations and institutions that offered free scholarship for those who deserves it. If you didn’t get a slot for these scholarships I know you can still find a way to get a degree. As they say “if there’s a will there is definitely a way”. *Education knows no Age* Another reason why some didn’t want to finish their studies because of their age. They thought they were old enough to be in school. That’s a very wrong perspective I must say. I also went to college late due to financial problem. I am 3 to 4 years ahead from most of my classmates, it didn’t bother me at all, because my goal is to finished college no matter what and also few of my classmates were much older than me too. They gave me inspiration to go on despite the many challenges. *Closing Thoughts* In this generation, where we have an easy access to everything, I hope the younger ones never stopped learning even though they are facing a lot of difficulties in online learning. It’s true though,that face to face has a great advantage than having an online classes. But in these uncertain times it’s better to attend online classes and learned something than learning nothing at all.

We all learn in every areas in our life. The day we stop learning is the day we die
Thank you for the wise words, I’ll keep it in mind😊 Thanks for dropping by too:)
True, sis. Education knows no age. Education is for all and no one should be left behind despite his/her disabilities as long as that person is willing.
Exactly sis, galing galing talaga ni teacher, kaya lodi kita eh😅 pero totoo naman di ba, kaya nga naiinis ako sa iba na may chance para mag aral pero bulakbol inuuna
Charot naman to. Hehehe! Yes sis, tama.
😁😁
Learning has no age and indeed has no limits.
Well said sis, kaya believe ako sa mga lolo at lola na nagawang makapagtapos kahit seniors na😊
I am glad you went to college after a break of a few years and continued your studies. It can be a difficult choice to make when we have financial commitments. Though if you are prepared to study hard, the qualifications you get can be worth it in the long run. Yes I agree if you are willing to commit yourself to studying it is never too late to learn. 😊
Maybe because I wanted to have a degree that was why even though I had a long break it didn’t demotivated me to continue. As what my parents would always say “education is the only treasure they can leave” true enough because no one can take it away from you. 😊 Thank you for your warm welcome😍
We learn everyday and it doesn't end until we are dead. Even an old person doesn't have all the knowledge in the world and can still learn a lot even at old age. Don't worry much about your grammar, you did really well and it isn't bad at all 😉
Thank you for appreciating and for dropping by. You are right though, we keep on learning each day and we should never get tired of it too, for it will lead us to a better decisions in life. 😊
Education is an active process. Every day we are learning different things. And you're right, it's better to have this online class than to stop learning and studying just because this pandemic happens
True kahit mahirap tuloy lang ang learning, I just hope mas maengganyo ang mga students na mag aral, ung iba kasi natatamad na mag aral
You are right, there is actually no age limit to education in the world today. You can at any age from the comfort of our home, the world is improving every day, and staying up today is what makes relevant
You are very right my friend, here in our country there have been a lot of inspiring stories about grandparents who continued their education even in at their age. 😊
That's a great message that everyone can relate to. It doesn't have to be furthering your education but is applicable in life in general.
You are correct sir, we should never stop learning for more even in the hardest situations . In this trying times, we should strive harder because giving up or quitting is not an option. Thank you for appreciating sir!😍
Learning is a never ending process. Even after we graduate,. There are still a lots of opportunities to learn something new! For those who never stop learning, those are the most successful ones. And I'd like to become one of them someday. I dont stop learning so i read a lot everyday for me to improve better
Wow that’s great decision sis, I am glad you never stop learning by reading, I wish I could do that too. Goodluck to you sis!
