Mom asked me to clean the comfort room this weekend, and that is the most tedious chore for me. Good thing we have such a small CR. While I am waiting for the Hydrochloric acid to clean up the floors and walls thoroughly, let me write something about yesterday.
Being a Third Year High School student in the Philippines, I have a dream that I would pass the Admission Test at the University of the Philippines (it's called UPCAT here) next school year. You see, UP is one of the most prestigious university you can find around here. There are others like Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, University of Sto. Tomas, just to name a few. But UP would be the best for me because I come from a "not-so-opulent" family. It has a low unit fee, yet maintains its high educational standards. My family and other relatives hope that one day, I could come and enter there not as a visitor, but as a student.
Although I already know my dream university, I still have issues about what course I am gonna take. My mom always dreams of me as an engineer, and so are my cousins. My dad thinks I'm good at English (surprisingly), so Journalism or Mass Communication would be good for me. My grandfather advised me to be a pastor, so that I can be president of our whole church conference. Such big ambitions, so hard to decide.
"Anxiety is contagious," as they say. But on me, anxiety came by itself. What pressures me a lot? I do not understand why many people expect too much from me. But who am I to question? I know that someday, I would end up deciding what's best for me. I just have to pray. After all, I still need to live a life of virtue whatever happens.
To UP! To my future career! To Life!
