After four years of struggle in a state university with a not-so-easy undergraduate course and a not-so-friendly environment, I can finally say that I made it through…somehow. After all of the headaches and deadlines, not to mention the stress and pressure, I can now say that I have just finished another chapter in my life.
Is the journey the way I expected it to be?
Sad to say, it’s a big no. I learned my lesson the hard way.
One failure that I have right now is not to graduate with honors. If everything else would have gone smoothly, I could have graduated as magna cum laude in our batch. But then again, is it really a failure in my part? Or is just that awards and recognitions are not really the end all, be all of everything?
Four years ago, I was an honor student. I know the feeling of having so many awards and medals. I even snotched a prestigious leadership award. Well, I am not saying that I did not excel during my college life. I even got so many awards and handled positions in different organizations in our college. It’s just unfortunate that I became a victim of a system which needs to be fixed. Or maybe I was just so unlucky.
Speaking of luck, I really don’t believe in such. Things are predetermined. Either by a force we cannot fully explain or simply because of causality.
This failure forced me to take a silent revenge. No, not really revenge. I just promised to myself that I’ll push myself to excel more in law school. That someday, despite the challenging journey of being lawyer, I can be one. I think that would be a compensation to the stupidity that I had now.
