hoping...........

    I am so glad that I have survived my first year as a college student. At the start of the academic year, my aim was to de in the Dean’s list but when the first semester has ended, I have decided to aim for an easier goal first. As many have known, I was granted a financial scholarship for the previous academic year. This means I still need to do some work for the university. So after calculating my average for the first semester which was 1.7, I have decided to aim to convert my scholarship grant to a merit scholarship because I became qualified for one. The only requirement for that grant is to have a GWA equal or greater to 1.75.

    So when the second semester has started, I was very eager to do well in my subjects. In the beginning, my eagerness has failed me already in my English 102 because of our teacher. She knows what she’s teaching but the only problem is that she was boring. She can afford to just talk and talk in front of the class. She doesn’t care if people don’t recite in her subject. That’s what I found boring in her class. But in my other subjects the eagerness didn't disappear. Along with this willingness, I aimed a mark of 1.0 in my Calculus. During the first half of the previous semester, I was still on my path on getting my target grade in Calculus but when derivative was introduced to us, I was slowly being directed to a lower grade and eventually I have thought and told myself that the path towards a mark of flat 1 is already unachievable and I was left in a crossroad. One is heading toward a mark of 1.25. And the other one is not clear. It’s either a mark of 1.5 or 1.75 but surely it isn’t a mark lower to it because I can’t allow myself to walk towards that end, at least for Calculus. I am not boasting but that is what was on my mind.

    As for my other subjects, I really don’t expect myself to get a high mark in Filipino because I’m still in Ginoo’s class. I still chose him even if I know that I won’t be able to get a higher mark because I know that I’ll learn in his class.

    But the most disappointing thing that happened to me last semester was with my programming subject, Computing 1. I was doing very well while approaching the end of the semester. I even have bonus grade due to the previous long tests. But the final exam arrived and my hopes of getting a flat 1 in it have almost been diminished because I wasn’t able to get a perfect score in our final exam. But since I have some bonuses from my long tests, I am still hoping of getting a flat 1.

    And the time is nearing to determine if I achieve my goal or not. Our final grades are one by one being uploaded to our site. And as of this writing, the registrar has uploaded already three grades. I got 2 in Filipino, as expected. I got 2.25 in English, expected also but disappointing. And lastly, I got 1 in NSTP, higher than expected. If my computations are correct, if I’ll get 1.5 in Calculus (The lowest I’ll get, I think), 1.5 in Computer System, 1.25 in Computing, if my bonuses can’t give me a flat 1 in it, and 1.75 in PE, then I’ll have a reason to celebrate because my grades will be in the requirement for a merit scholarship. So guys, pray with me. Hehe. I hope you’ll get the grade you deserve and I hope it will be high…
