Things to Remember Before Entering College

Fifth

On another tone, here's a tip for you:
Never pressure yourself just to impress people with your grades.

It is indeed a struggle to keep up with the challenge of being academically excellent. Since there would be hindrances such as external and internal factors, it is not news to know that there are students who find difficulty in this matter.

As a student, I suggest not being pressured and instead to enjoy the learning process. If you're really in what you do, it would yield fulfillment and happiness in return. Also, if you stop pressuring yourself in achieving for your family or friends, you would consequently find yourself doing it for your own sake, not for anyone's approval.

Although, there are some issues involving being suicidal because of academic pressure, I couldn't really blame them for such. Since they lack the natural motivation and the appropriate approaches, it would result to an undesirable scenario. Some would suggest that it's their fault for not reaching the expectation they're supposed to tap. Damn! This is just pure trash.

If a child is willing to cross bounds just to get those grades, he'll be doing it himself. Willingness, along with the motivation required, can help in order to know how he/she wants things to roll. I'm sorry to tell but, not all students have the minds of the great Summa Cum Laudes of UP, and they aren't required to have such.

If anyone in this world is capable to push a student to his limits, it should be you and you alone. Not parents' pressure, not friends' pressure, but God's will through you. He may use the former to motivate you, but in the end, it's Him who will tell you the right words in order for you to reach your desires.

As what is written in 1 Corinthians 16:14, "Let all that you do be done in love." Because in the end, everything done with love will bloom properly.

Success comes naturally to those who love what they do, keep that in mind. ❤️
