5ft Meeting...

" The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished"

Playing guitar is the most challenging thing I have ever accomplished. I am usually not interested in doing or accomplishing things. Even before, I don't even like to play guitar, but now, I always hold my guitar and play music. Learning guitar was very difficult for me because I have no interest in it when I was learning it. I only wanted to play guitar because my uncle said that learning how to play guitar is really interesting and because my friends know how to play, I envied them. I realized, when i was learning how to play it, that I do have an interest in this instrument. I may not be so good, but I do entertain myself when I play. I really enjoyed making music, even though it sounded awful sometimes. I had a band when I was in highschool. Our band became the official school band when we were in our 4th year. We were the ones being set to school competitions. I realized how proud and how happy I am to be part of the band. I really didn't expect that I would be on stage performing in huge crowds. Thank God that I learned this instrument.

Wish ko lang!!!

1. How was your first week of stay at MCL? How do you feel about your teachers and schoolmates? How do you find your course? What sort of adjustments you still have to meet in terms of your academics, emotions, and social involvement?
- My first week of stay at MCL was aweful. Sir DC made fun of me during the orientation, I became very shy because of that. I really felt pressured because some teachers because they are strict, and I feel very shy with my schoolmates because it's my first time, since grade six, that I have a girl classmate and because I find it hard to adjust myself. I find my course very difficult but exciting because I can learn many things about it and it can help me in my profession in the future. In academics, I still need to adjust my time at home when I study because the lessons at college are harder and taught faster. i really need to be serious about my studies. In emotional and social involvement, I still need to have some confidence for myself, I need to lighten up and learn to mingle with my schoolmates.

2. How would you like your first year in college be? What specifically you have to do to achieve these desires?
- I would like my first year in college to be enjoyable, that I would find myself studying and having fun at the same time, I would like to have many friends, and I would like my grades to be very high even though it seems impossible for me. I need to focus on my studies, do every homeworks and projects, and I really need to boost my study habit so I am prepared in every class that I would attend to. I need to gain self-confidence and aim to achieve my goals in life.
