Aim High Study High Fly High But Foot On Ground
A friend asked me of what is the greatest gift I have received. Ostentatiously I did not have the second thought to reply that it is education.
For many reasons I think education is the greatest equalizer and mobilizer I have had so far. It is not a gift that one can receive easily; it is aimed and worked for. When I was a high school stude I used to think of becoming a lawyer engineer and scientist. Consequently I became what I am right now. I understood that poverty might be a bar against ones way. For sure parents pressure insecurities emotional and physiological adjustments are inevitable scenarios which you cope with in deciding what to take and where you intend to pursue your next plan of action after high school.
In choosing one let me just remind you of two things its employability and likeability. Employability in the sense that in the future vacancy of your chosen vocation will be at its peak considering the economic condition of this kaleidoscopic world. Likeability may mean do I like this or not. Am I into it? Out of it? Or Can learn the heck of it? Questions that may flaunt and fly along side of its job vacancy. Apparently there are classical courses that are timeless making it classic. In any period of time job market is available like accountancy engineering education and the likes. However there are also emerging jobs jobs from specific and general courses that may be readily demanded in the future like that of the IT industry exact sciences and applied sciences and so on.
No matter how you do it just be reminded of this old adage “Its always the destination that matters most.” Whether you go to the next level near or far to your comfort zones family and peers it is always your attitude and most of all your socalled I ME and MYSELF that is put to test. Either way its you who can always find ways to make it happens in realizing you dreams. Nevertheless study and study make one lazy so find time to play and play while you study. In addition if you have reached your dream your feet should be grounded by humility and grace. At any rate feel free to get back to me if enormous problems are too hard to beat.
I teach for reason. That is to see my students succeed in any endeavor they choose to take.
Godspeed and good luck to all graduating high school students out there!
