This entire week I've been loaded with restests. And somehow, even though an F was staring me in the face, I got through it. The worst monster though, of this many headed Hydra, was Filipino. Seriously, I can only understand like 20% of the words. I remember the first deep word I had to encounter was "Dapugan". If you know the meaning, please put it in the comment box..... yes i still dont know the meaning. Anyway, I should start from when the project was due. Because sir Lacaba was absent two days before examinations began, I had no chance to ask him about it.
Then this week came when I was attending remedials for other subjects and again I did not have a chance to ask him about it. So when the due date came I was so confused because of what happened, Sir Lacaba did not exactly comment on his absence and did not dismiss my point as wrong, but a due date was still a due date so I was in trouble. I was in a hot postion, three other guys were joining me on this slide. Tomio, Jason, and Martin.
I was scared $^*%less. I took every opportunity, every 5 minute break, and all of lunch time to complete it. It payed off though, as all that got me three pages which was good enough and I submitted it by the end of the day. I don't know about the others, I hope they were able to submit theirs as well. Now what did I learn?
Well I'm not sure if it's preparation cause I did try to ask him. I'm sure there was something more that I could have done but right now, I really feel like I did all I could. More importantly and clearly, I learned about persistence. When I was using up all my free time for that project, I was running on pure energy. There was no preparation, no strategy, no briliant manuever. Just fear. A fear that sparked and produced something so amazing that it helped me survive..... barely, but with no deductions.
You really write well. Your analogies are always well thought of.
ReplyDeleteNow, fear... well, if you use fear positively, it could be something that will help you be a stronger person! Go Inaro! Fight! :)
