2nd JOURNAL ENTRIES

My first week @ MCL is remarkable, the thing that will last forever and I’ll not forget. Actually it is really the opposite side from what I’m expecting for my first week at MCL. But it turns over when I met my block mates and specially my professors. And it’s nice to know my friends very well.

Ahhh, the professors. When I heard the word “professors” my first connotation is terror and strict. But when I met the professors of MCL, they erase that connotation of mine. Our mentors are very good and so approachable, just study hard and they will like you to.

My section, B02 is the best. Even though we’re new to each other, we don’t have a hard time to mingle with each other. They are so approachable and easy to deal with. Each one of my block mates have their own strength. And I thought, if we put together our all strength, we are unbeatable and no weaknesses can be a hindrance for us. Even that, time will come and our section will be separated.

My courses, all of them are a little bit hard. But I’m pursuing myself to overcome my entire courses one at a time. I think there is no easy course now that I’m in college. But the most challenging course is the DRAWING, I like to draw but it is different because our mentor is Mr. Henry Paz. (peace)

I have this adjustment that I really want to do – TIME MANAGEMENT, because college is all about it. I must be aware of my time and my duties, because if I didn’t do it. I’m sure that I will panic all the time.

Making Transition from High school to College

For myself, I can say that High School life is the HAPPIEST stage of schooling that I’ve attended. It is because of my classmates that I’m with for four years. And our teachers that always besides as for guidance and counseling and we can treat them as our own parents. I will not forget and cherish those moments that I’m with them.

When I graduated from high school, there are so many emotions around me, the thought that I’ll miss my friends, the fear with excitement of entering college, and choosing the right course for my abilities (it is a lost for me if I will choose the wrong course).

At last, I see MCL as my new alma mater – new institution, new friends, new teachers and new experiences. And I’m sure that MCL could surpass the happiness that I felt from high school. I’m proud to be a student of MALAYAN COLLEGES LAGUNA.

My first few experiences @ MCL

It’s just more than a week and I have experience so many thing at MCL – the new environment that is suitable for studying, new rules and regulation inside the campus, the approachable professors and teachers, new standards in getting a high grades (wish I could do all of that thing) and of course, encountering a new circle of friends at MCL. And I’m sure that all of this element will help me to have a successful adjustment in college.

Values Education as my ADVANTAGE

Values education is one of the subjects that I’m taking up since elementary studies. Since then I knew that this subject will help and teach me many things about life and to understand other lives that surrounds me.

For me, values education help a lot to my life. Aside from church, my previous teachers on values education introduce God to me. And this is the one advantage to me of this course, knowing God more and to serve Him as his own son.
