Classes...

Usually, when the teacher tells the students that there are no classes for that day or classes will be suspended, the students will really jump for joy, or sometimes, other students will react with an exaggerated dismay. I woke up this morning and I read the message sent to me last night. It was from my teacher telling that there will be no classes for two days but we will have a make-up class on Thursday. I was happy though. As a result, I was able to save some money which was intended for my fare. Lucky me!

In our bowling class, it was our last day of class. My classmate took some pictures of us, when I asked her to take a picture of myself while playing bowling, her camera ran out of battery...how sad for me! I am thankful to meet new friends in that class, even for a short period of time we have been close and I hope we will meet again some time!

Learning Experience

We are in the classroom since pre-school to elementary to secondary then college or tertiary. Our knowledge and skills evolved from the simple ABC's and counting 1, 2, 3. As we became older, we learn more and more things not only from teachers and books but also from classmates and friends. We also learn that there is more learning outside the four walls of the classroom and that application can be done best in real life situations. We realize that the score or grade you get in every exam or in every subject is not really the measurement of your knowledge and understanding.

In the university, there are students who failed in the subject not because of failed exams but due to excessive absences. However, there are professors who do not check for attendance and in case like this, there are students who get high grades even without attending the class regularly provided that he or she will take the exam and submit the requirements. Thus there are countless ways of enjoying and striving in college.

We are learners and will always be students even after we receive our college diploma. There is more to learn outside the campus and more mistakes to commit in our lives. Yet the challenge is, how can we practice what we learn? Experience is the best teacher as an old adage says.
