THE TWO YEARS I HAD IN COLLEGE
Spending my two years at the University of Makati turned out to be actually a good experience. I was exposed to so many things that I didn't imagine I would do ever and it literally changed me to a better person.
I experienced so many things, good & bad. I met so many kinds of people. Kind of people that I was honestly afraid to be friends with before but I did. We helped each other at so many times and that was really fun and I can say my relief and one of the highlights of my stay in the school.
I gained confidence and experiences that I know I won't get if not for the school and the people I have worked with. I have to admit that there were many disappointments of course. I guess my closest friends and my family knew everything about that, maybe because I was expecting too much since it's Theater Arts and I've been wanting this and looking forward to experiencing amazing things but I didn't.
My first year of studying wasn't really smooth. I had a conflict with some people that wasn't resolved until I stopped schooling. Yeah, it kinda feels sad if I'll recall the good memories I had with one of them but then, it's not my fault why the friendship was broken. duh! I got disappointed so many times that I really felt like, what am I doing here, why am I wasting my time, like seriously? But yet I can say that I also had so many memories that are worth cherishing for because I think wherever we are, you know, good and bad things will always happen.
I have done several things that I couldn't imagine I could do, like magpukpok at maglagari ng kahoy for one of our props, magpuyat ng bonggang bongga para sa school (I don't really do this even back in high school and grade school), mag-divisoria for the first time. It's fun you know. I
wouldn't have the confidence that I have right now if not with all those things. That is why I want to say thank you for everything and for the people who believed in me and made me feel that I have potential.
(whoooooooo potential yeah!!!)
In my last year in this school, I was able to lead a group and direct an entire show which I can say went successfully. I had a great time doing the activity and it went pretty smooth even though there were some hindrances and struggles we(our group) still managed to survived and we survived beautifully, unlike others, ehem! It was a competition actually and of course, everyone is aiming to be the best. I didn't mention to my friends nor to anyone that I'm planning to drop out from school after that year and that I'm just waiting for the right moment and so I want to end my year with doing something great and I thought that this was the activity for it.
Even though we didn't win the best production award, we managed to bag two awards; Best in Makeup and Costume and Best in Lights Design. We weren't expecting those two awards to be honest. That's why we were so happy and shocked. Yes, we didn't win the overall competition, I also didn't receive the Best Director award but I can say that with all the praises I and my whole team received from our mentors, from our Professor, Sir Pat, I am so fulfilled and like a winner already. That's all I wanted, to be recognized by them and to show that I can also do those things.
It was really a great moment. It was the best thing that ever happened to me in my two years of staying in that school and I'm glad it happened that way and at that time. Even though I wouldn't be able to finish my four years of studying Theater Arts in that university I am already happy with everything I experienced and learned. All I thought that I was already a grown up person ready to unleash all I've got when I enter that school but then I was just baby all this time. Leaving that school I know I can do great things and that I'll be facing new and more challenging things from life and I am so excited about it. Thank you.
ps. I'm still planning to go back to school but obviously not in University of Makati anymore :)
