Way back May 2010, that was my first time to came here in Mindanao State University, main campus Marawi City, together with my brother joel amaro, that time he was still studying here in MSU main , of the course Electrical Engineering and with my cousin Jhandel C. Amaro. Me and my cousin were both excited on coming here, we didn't even sleep in going here its about 4 hours travel from our hometown and it was too far from us because it was our first time to go here in islamic area.
furthermore, my perception of MSU was a dangerous area that we shouldn't go outside because there always a threat in our lives but all those negative perception of us was vanished because MSU was a nice place,its weather was also nice and cold, and also the people was nice.
after the entrance exam of the freshmen, i waited for about 2 weeks in order for me to get my result and after to 2 weeks of waiting the result of the entrance exam was already posted and i was so nervous and excited, you know the feeling of different emotions that merge in your heart and no words can explain it.
when i got to administration of the University and the result of my exam was 74, and the passing was 75 and the feeling of regrets because my efforts were meant but i am happy because the University had its policy that those below the passing score was still be admitted in the campus. it was amazing and happy that there still a chance on finishing my studies here in the very prestigious university in Mindanao. CPC or College Preparatory Course is there system for us takers who had a score of below the passing, we will study this course for only 1 semester of only 3 basic subject the Math, English and Values Education.
it was June 2014, it was the starting of the the semester and i am so excited of knowing new friends and classmates. new teachers and new classrooms.
during my CPC days, it was the amazing bonding that we had. it was learning to be flexible and to learn new things that will help in passing this course. during examination we had our overnight study in our cottage in order to help one another in passing this course and pursue our desired college degree. the pictures shows that happiness is not just a simple moment but to us it was a great moment that we had during those days.
when the semesters ended, everyone were so much excited of what will be their courses when they already pass this course and me was undecided what really my course but during my high school days i dream to become a doctor, and that course would be BS Biology.
in addition to, when the grade card was given to me, it was the happiest moment because I've the course and i think this really the start i will pursue my dreams to become a doctor and to help others but unfortunately when the enrollment comes, it was October 2014. I was not accepted in the BS Biology because I had only 1 credited subject in CPC, one of their requirement was there should be 2 subject credited and i was discouraged but i think positively that there will be an alternative to pursue my dreams and that will be enrolled in other courses and that will be BS Physics and it gives me motivation to study.
when the semesters ended, another circumstances that ended my dreams to become a doctor because i cannot shift to Biology because i had failed 1 subject that is very important in the Bio Department and that was Chem. 15 and i was so sad because all my effort in studying the subject was useless but i have still think positively even i failed in the subject. and i had plans to shift another course and that was BSBA Entrepreneurial Marketing.
When the 1st semester comes that was May 2011, this time I am planning to shift another college. fortunately i had successfully shifted to another college at the College of Business and Administration and Accountancy but I couldn't shift to my dream of becoming an entrepreneur because of the reason that i had already too late to shift, since when i came back in MSU, the course that i wanted to study was already closed to the shiftees but i did not loss hope to enroll in BSBA Entrepreneurial Marketing so what i did was i have beg to the Department chairperson Dr. Perla Calunod on that semester. to the extent that i am going home late in order for me to be admitted on that course, it was almost 1 week that i had waited to accept my shifting papers, when Thursday came it was around quarter to 6, Ma'am Calunod said that she will be getting my papers and I was so happy that for almost 1 week of waiting, this time i will be the student of Marketing. and also i am excited for tomorrow's decisions by the chairperson.
The next morning, Friday. i was so early to go to the department of marketing, and little bit nervous mixed up with excited of what will be the decision. when Ma'am entered the office, i hurriedly came into the department and asking her of what will her decision, i was so shock of what she said, Boy i couldn't accept you, since you had a failing grade in your former course. and i said that ma'am i beg you ma'am to accept me as your student. but she insisted that i shouldn't beg because she didn't want her morning be damn because of me, so as a student, i said that its okay ma'am, thank you and then go out with disappointment and i regret myself that i was too confident to came back here in MSU late, then i think an alternative to what will i do, Saturday i was planning to have Pre - Register the courses that was subject by the CBAA students.
