Why I am here in LVCC

I am here for a purpose: Is to learn

            I remember what my parents said that they are thinking after I graduate on secondary education, what school do I pursue my preferred course, they don’t have that money to support my study. By the time that they went to Klinik ni Kuya in along EDSA for free medical check-up that informed to them by an concerned citizen. In that place, they are also informed that these so-called “Ang Dating Daan” group has a scholarship or full-scholarship program actually in their school or college institution. To be specific, in La Verdad Christian College in Caloocan City.

            In my first impression to that school, I feel that I don’t want to belong in that school. That feelings is supported when I discover that there are two courses offered only in that college. My preferred course before I enroll myself in La Verdad is to be a medical practitioner, specifically Medical Technician or MedTech.

            All I want in my dreamed profession is something related to science, because science is my favorite subject among all subjects. Although I know that there are only two courses offered in here. I tried to take scholarship examination and also in other college institutes such as PUP and WCC. Unfortunately, I didn’t pass PUP entrance examination. In WCC, I get 25% discount on tuition and miscellaneous fees. In La Verdad, I am not sure that I will pass that exam that’s why I don’t want to talk about it when we are talking about colleges that I previously take an exam.

There was a time when my parents personally went to La Verdad to see the results and to check if I passed the said exam. Thanks to God that I passed. Then my parents thought that this is the place where I really belong. And I slowly accept it and, as time goes by, I accept it completely. I appreciate it completely after preliminary period under first semester. I learned many things on that, academics of course, learn to cooperate in group activities because in that previous semester, all activities are participated by groups. And, in that instance, I learned to myself that the reason behind this said group activities, is to make myself not to be curious in facing people or be shy when facing people.

Lastly, in that previous semester, this school helps me to be close to God, not because we have a subject related to Christianity which is Christian Living subject. But, this school is associated with “Ang Dating Daan” group that broadcasting truth and gospel of Christ. With the help of Bro. Eli Soriano and Kuya Daniel Razon in providing the medium on how we appreciate the words of God written in the Bible. Thanks be to God that there’s somebody like them that makes me be closed to God. And, by their teachings, it helps me a lot to learn new things, spiritual wisdom and benefits, salvation and deliverance. Thanks be to God and to God be the glory!

It Happens Again!

IT HAPPENS AGAIN!       

Last year, there’s a event in which we seriously and hardly engage ourselves. The event that I was talking about is the Buwan ng Wika. Under this month, there are so many activities that we’ve joined, especially the Sabayang Pagbigkas. Before this month enters, upcoming activities were introduced in advance by our instructor in Filipino subject. He says that, if we have a place in the Sabayang Pagbigkas category, even in third place only, we will not have a midterm exam on him. Before the competition, we are pressured to make ourselves ready to participate. Thanks be to God that there is no classes but we are required to be present because our presence is a must. We suffer hunger, tired, thirst and when we are done practicing, we will reach home late in the evening because of giving time and effort to make our presentation well-prepared and beautiful. Unfortunately, we don’t have any place in Sabayang Pagbigkas category. After we know it, we feel lost, ashamed, acting like there’s nothing happens, just enjoying the show. But, there’s one thing that our section being alive again, it is when our instructor said that even though we didn’t get any place in the said competition, that it is enough for him to see our efforts on making our presentation be presentable, although it is quite presentable but it is not good enough to win, he said to us that even though we lost, we will not also taking midterm exam on him as he promise to the winners. What a experience.

Christian Living week, although it is a week, but it’s impact makes it a month. Why? It is because we learn a lot from this event and also a different experience that we experienced under this productive week. Like in Buwan ng Wika, we suffer also hunger, tired in practicing ourselves specifically in Christian Dance and Chorale Competition. Our section divided into to groups, the dancers and the chorales. We are also pressured on making this presentable, it is because it is sacred for us, that we are dancing for God and sings for God, that’s why it is sacred for us. In addition, the pieces that we’ve chosen to make choreographies is a special song of our church. Thanks be to God that this time our section proves that we can get also triumphs because we are better performers although were not champion but we know that God is happy for us because it is for him. You might ask, “Why sweet repetition?”. My answer to that is this, that these two unforgettable moments in our college life is quite same. That after we gain triumph, we face different unexpectable things such as reaching home late in the evening, suffering hunger, tiredness and many unexpectable things. For me, this happenings defines what sweet repetition really means in this article. Goodbye and Godbless.
