Take some time off, from work, from school, from all your worries and just reflect.
Reflect on how beautiful you are despite of all the ugly things people say. Being put to the bottom, being bullied, laughed at or maybe stepped on are things that would make you feel miserable. But no matter how many times you feel awful, remind yourself that you have to get back up on the tracks, and that you wake up for a reason. You are where you are for a cause.
3 years ago, I thought maybe why not try and make a difference in the world. So, here I am still struggling towards the finish line. The finish line to my premed proper. And surprisingly I have learned that college isn't always about grades. Yes, it is about successfully being able to accomplish your tasks and duties on time, but it doesn't hurt to enjoy the long run. High grades don't always make you happy and satisfied, sometimes it leaves you empty. Low grades on the hand may turn your whole semester upside down, but remember, there's always a rainbow after the rain.
Edu blogging was introduced to us by Professor Virginia B. Gaces, our Clinical chemistry professor for 3 years now. Edu blogging is a form or a method of learning and re-evaluating the topic we have learned during lecture time or discussion. It is not simply re-writing what we have learned, it is about sharing to the world and being able to speak up, reflect on and re-apply it through blogging. Not many are given the high confidence level to speak up every now and then, therefore blogging just made it easier.
Sometimes in life, we have to read in between the lines in almost every situation. We have to appreciate the people we cross paths with, we have to embrace every failure and we have to always be thankful for every day of our lives.
So, I hope this is not the end of the line of edu blogging, I do hope that more and more students would be able to fall in love with this hobby/skill. There's more than what meets the eye.
Remember to never stop learning. Never settle for anything less than what you deserve. Keep reminding yourself everyday what your goals and ambitions are, and you will reach the top. Because once you have found what you love, you will be passionately striving to see the final results.
P.S Thank you to one of the most dedicated professors I have ever met, you are more than a teacher/ a mentor, you have been our medtech mother, and will always be our academe parent. MRS V.B.G
