ShowMeWhatYouGot

it is now september… in the United States, college students are just preparing or simply enjoying the first day of school. alas we are not from the Land of the Free. we are from the country known as Philippines, and here our classes starts on the month of June… sucks doesn’t it? what’s worse it when you graduate from college… that’s the suckiest part, if there is such a word. why? because, like me, i am a graduate. and what’s worse is that the we have to take the licensure examination which is scheduled exactly a month and a half from today…

recalling back the good old days of college when i still slack off, ahhh the good life. skipping classes just to play video games or 9 ball pool was the life for me. smoke all you want and drink all you want even on school days was the everyday agenda. i bet if you were in my shoes you can say that it’s the best thing that could ever happen to you, right? wrong. because that way, it took me 7 years to graduate. and i was able to think over about what i’m gonna do with my life for the next 20 years, if im going to be succesful or just become another bum asking beer money from my mom. i wouldn’t want that to happen. the easiest way in life without the challenges is the most boring life. and i just realised that when i started working, and i was working for free. and yet it brought me back to my sense, that life’s not all that peachy and cool.

now am currently under that last stage of my review for the board exam. i’ll be taking the preboard exam given to us by the review center i enrolled in. that way i’ll be able to put myself in the situation on how it feels to take the actual board. kinda like a simulation. but pass or fail, it doesn’t matter. next month, we’ll start with the final coaching classes. 8 hours a day of hellish memorization and endless discussions of topics and possible answers to certain questions that could possibly come out of the actual board. but in any way, all of these doesn’t give you guarantees that you will pass the exam, but it gives you the edge against other competitors, since the examination is a competition, where graduates from different parts of the country compete against each other on who will have a part in the list of rooster engineers for this year. around 7000+ who’ll take the exam on november, only 1500+ will be given a license. now that is tough… only 30%. but still i’m not losing any hope whatsoever. i still believe that there is a chance for me to pass, all of us does. all we need is to make a few sacrifices, and a lot of courage, and more on faith.

so to all the ECEs who’ll take the examination this november, GOOD LUCK TO US ALL…
