Student's life is a broad responsibility. It has many struggles to face. These endeavor are part of the attainment of the goals of a student. Luckily, some students take these undertaking, as a challenge - something that motivates them to continue their work. Unfortunately, other students take these as a heavy cross to carry on; they can hardly cope with student's activities.
As for me I am an institution to face all these trial with my best efforts and abilities. I will accept such encounter with the help of my intelligence, hard work, perseverance, patience and most especially with the help pf the mercy of God.
I am in a school to earn a degree. This is the greatest reason I have. In attaining a certificate there are a lot of obstacles to surpass. Subjects top all these barricades I have to comply with all the subjects required in my course. Completing these subjects takes a long time to finish and frankly, it needs much effort and money. Behind all these subjects are examinations quizzes, requirements, assignments... all these and many others to mention. These subject related activities need much attention and should be given higher value, for if these will be left undone my subjects will end a failure.
I am in a school to participate in school activities. It is my opportunity and my privilege to get involve in school venture. In school, there are various celebrations that is being conducted within the school year; Intramurals, Foundation week, Linggo ng Wika, etc. In these celebrations, competitions in athletics, arts, literary, music, and games are being held out. I have to join these contests because I want my potentials be developed. But it does not mean that I will engage in all these contests. I will join only the contests which my capacities can do. Involvement in such drill enhance perseverance, diligence, hard work, patience, and most importantly love of work. It also foster student's empowerment and competitiveness.
I am in a school to know my rights. Inasmuch as that I am in the political science - the field I ought to know my rights. However, this doesn't mean that knowing the right of an individual person are only important to political science students. Every student and every citizen needs to know his rights and use them for his own welfare, development and protection.
What is the agency that tells us our rights? It is the school which is the prime agency. Students may also learn their rights as citizen of a country in the government offices especially in the Supreme Court and Department of Justice. Better still, it is the school which plays the vital role in disseminating individual's rights. The rights which I want to emphasize are the one provided by the fundamental law of the land - The Constitution.
My ultimate end, why I am here in school is to be educated. All the reasons stated above are absolutely necessary for the acquisition of a valuable and quality education. Yes! Education cannot only be attained in a school. It may take part in the church, community, government agencies, organizations, business establishment.. among others. But I recognize as the best of them all, school has great impact in furnishing a genuine education.
