That admission comes with a really incredulous feeling! I never thought I’d say that. Ever. I did well in school, I always did without much effort. And that’s not a boasting statement either. Ever since I was a child I was in some sort of pressure to be in school so I hardly felt any pleasure in going. Most of my teachers from primary to college were boring, and I would have preferred studying on my own and pore over my textbooks by my self.
Nonetheless, it made my parents happy and proud so I stayed with it till I graduated from college. Shortly after graduation, my parents prompted me to enroll in graduate school for an MBA, and since that time I was pretty passive about my life, I agreed. It was boring as hell! On my second semester I quit and promised myself I don’t want to go back to school.
A couple of years after, I just gave birth to my daughter and I was getting antsy at home so I enrolled myself in a teaching college for a teaching certificate. I lasted only a semester. Why? I didn’t like spoon feeding. The teachers just focused on the textbooks and not much discussion took place and I hate that, I didn’t learn anything..
So, I quit. I decided I’ll only go back to school once I know what I really want to study. Something I’m really interested in, something I could be passionate about. I’ve just discovered that in the past two years.
I’ll be fixing my school papers and requirements soon, and I’m pretty excited about enrolling for a Diploma in Computer Science. This time, (hopefully if the university accepts me hehe) I picked a university with distance learning, so I get more control of my time and my studies without a professor constantly breathing down my neck. That would take 4 semesters and afterwards, I’ll be gunning for a Masters in Information Technology.
Wish me luck..
