Journey to MSU
Mindanao State University was not
my option in pursuing my college degree. My parents don’t want it, because of the rumours
that MSU, Marawi City was unsafe. But I don’t have a choice since MSU-Marawi
city was the university that my parents can afford so I take the risk. Way back
May 10 2010 in the evening; that was the time when I departed off to MSU-
Marawi city. It was about fourteen hours to reach Marawi city from our place. I
bear to travel by myself despite of the fear that I felt. When I reached
Cacayan City, I’d got a call from my Maranao batchmate telling that it’s not
safe to travel going to Marawi city since it was the day after the election. I was
advised by her parents to stay in Cacayan for a mean time, they told me that
they would fetch me to spend the day in their house. Few days passed I decided
to go at MSU and luckily I arrived in MSU safe and sound.
May 16 2014 the day when I take
the CET exam. I’d waited for couple of days for the result and a week after, the
result was announced and thank God I did it! I passed. I was one of that
Baccalaureate passer. Glory is to God!!!
Start for a new life a new
struggle and a new challenge, I as an official college student in this
university I knew that it would not be easy to take degree courses, so I started
to apply some courses offered like Hotel and Restaurant Management, Tourism
Management, I take the entrance exam of that said courses and yes I passed but I
decided not to pursuit it due to the costly expenses but instead I find Business
Administration course which is BS Management but unfortunately there is no slot for another batch so I went
to other departments and coincidentally I saw my childhood friend and I asked a
helped for her, without a second thought she recommended the same course Entrepreneurial
Marketing she took.
The journey begun when the class day started. New acquaintances
has found, new roommates new friends, new environment all was new and fresh. And
I become more familiar with the culture and I started to adapt their ways and
dialect that the place had. Part of the journey is to meet terror instructor
one of this is my Psych 20 instructor, she was so strict. One thing I cannot
forget when the time during our class, one of our classmate collapsed because
of her rude words. As several meetings had passed I am used to endure the fear
that I felt. But fortunately I passed
the subject, she was one of the big challenges that I experienced.
One of the activities that I have in my minor subjects was
the variety show which I play a part as one of our candidate for the pageant. I
was placed as first runner up.
