First time here in Manila, it’ s so hard for me because I come from province of Mindoro and my parents decided to studied me here for college. A lot of you may all the feeling butterflies in your stomachs just by hearing that is the first day of classes, right? I had the same notion when I got first into college. Everything was a new. Everyone was back to square one. But it didn’t really come easy for me. I had neither friends nor acquaintances, to start with. I had a trouble getting into school because I didn’t know where I should ask the jeep to stop. I had no idea where my room was. It was practically a terrible start. On top of that, I somehow felt out of place because I went to a public high school in our province and that most of the students I encountered during my first days here were from private high schools.
It was hard at first. During the first few days, I was practically asking myself why I was in Fatima. Of course I had no doubts as to the quality of education the university has to offer. But bearing the students status and situations, it made me think how fortune I am and how I kind of do “not belong “ to the group. In addition, the OLFU was not really what I expected. The quality of education has to offer is more than the glint and glimmer of its facilities. Whatever Fatima has to offer happens not only inside the classroom, but also out of it
Freshman years in the university are a crucial stage. Not only because you’re back to square one, but because you are trying the novel waters. Try to fit in and find peers who would actually accept you. This is the very foundation of college life.
