A walked to remember: Journey to MSU

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.
