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.
