If God brings me to it, He will bring me through it.
My college life is really a grind for me, especially for the last two years of it. I've been in PUP for almost five years now. What brought me here was my dream, and what made me stay, is God's dream for me. I really would've given up if it's not for Him, for my family, and for my future one.
Financial struggle is my number one opponent in this fight. And in this last quarter, I was thinking of giving in to fear and problems, and giving up what I started, because IT'S REALLY HARD to work and study at the same time and not having enough..
..but it is MUCH HARDER TO DO SO. (that "giving up" thingy.)
These are the problems that threaten me not to graduate on time:
Problem No.1: I am a shiftee from the College of Engineering. Back then, I took Computer Engineering for a year. I got low grades and failing ones. I decided then to pursue communication, and take up Journalism. And looking at my SIS (Student Information System) account, there's really one thing that continued to bother me. I have a BACK SUBJECT... a MAJOR SUBJECT... in ENGINEERING. Wanting to end my agony, I sent an e-mail to SIS.
A day after, I got this answer:
Relieving, indeed, right? ^_^
PROBLEM NO. 1 SOLVED.
Problem No.2: Because I am working and studying at the same time, I wasn't able to complete my 200-hour internship last semester. I just completed a total of 103 hours, so I still lack 97 hours and this sem, another 200-hour internship needs to be accomplished. It means, I have to complete 297 hours for this sem. Plus, I still have a balance of P1,800 from my previous internship. That made me think twice whether I will enroll for the very last semester or not. I was thinking, "My study life is too compromised because I can't focus that much because of work. But if give up my work, most likely, I cannot afford to study." The truth is I enrolled with faith. My spiritual leaders told me to enroll and that I can do it. So then, I talked to my internship adviser, and guess what?! She allowed me that my current job will be credited as my Internship 2!!! So, doing the math, 297 minus 200 is 97 hours!!! I just need to complete 97 hours!!! PROBLEM NO. 2 SOLVED.
I thought, "If I am working from 4pm to 10pm, plus my travel time, so it's 2pm to 12am, then I only have morning to do my 97-hour internship." Hesitant though because my sleep time will be lessened (hehe), I am determined to do it. But, wait! My internship adviser, who heads the PUP Publications Office gave a good offer! I don't have to apply anymore to another newspaper company and I will just do it in the university's official publication! So I have the opportunity to write and research and be trained more in writing and layouting, hands on, by my adviser! REALLY SOLVED.
Problem No. 3: I have a lot of payables, not mentioning long time debts. :( Please be patient with me people. Hahaha! It's in the solving process right now. One at a time, I will be able to pay it. My God will provide.
Well, His plan for me is final. And even if I try to run away from it, it will still prevail and happen.
And hey, we just finished our thesis defense, and we passed!!! Yey!!! So 1 more subject left, and graduation is on the way! Thank You Lord! You are really the miracle in my life! :)
So there, HAPPY SOLVING PROBLEM Jane!! Thank you God for these problems, because I AM GROWING!
