Opportunity knocks only once

Heading off to college is an essential milestone in your life that requires serious effort to think, learn, and grow. It is an exciting and challenging experience that every student craved for. After high school several pre-requisites are needed to successfully enter in college. It takes time, money, and effort. Unfortunately, only people with good and stable employment can afford to supplement their children on tertiary education. Poverty often sees as hindrance and barrier towards better education. The only way for the less fortunate to get into college is to acquire scholarship grant and become a scholar.

          

A scholar is a student with intelligence and excellence, a student with competitiveness, who deals with lots of commitments, a student with great learning skills that is evidently a quick learner and a role model and a pride of the campus.

           

I am a scholar hitting the edge towards success, having a goal to pursue and aspiring to become successful in my career. I am a scholar, not of a state university that wraps and hid its purpose, where money circulates, but of La Verdad Christian College-Caloocan. A school who believed that “wisdom based on truth is priceless”.

        

Different universities and colleges popped out of the blue, offering scholarships and assuring students of low-cost fees but were not. That’s the reason why scholars or ‘iskolar ng bayan’ rebel against the government. Tuition hikes urge the students to arouse anger. Obviously, they have no choice but to accept the fact that even scholars pay for fees. It is not really easy to become a scholar, as you will deal with lots of stress, crisis and study commitments. But as you've accepted it, you have to take care of it. It is a responsibility that will benefit you.

          

However LVCC is very different from all of the universities and colleges in our country. It is the only school that offers free to all premises: In tuition, miscellaneous, school uniform, meals and even allowance. There is nothing to bother.

            

Scholars are fortunate as they make a difference, from nobody to somebody. As we get older, things get harder, once the opportunity knocked you, grab it, to avoid regrets.

           

I am now a second year student of Mass Communication Technology, and planning to continue my course to AB Broadcasting if God’s will. I am very fortunate to become one of the scholars at LVCC, it is a great privilege and I don’t want to lose it. For Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon, the men who both make a difference among the entire population of the Philippines, thank you, for offering scholarships. Most of all, to God, thank You, in making me blessed and in making this world wonderful.
