If you'll ask an engineering graduate a story that would constitute their idea of exciting, exhausting, depressing, inspiring, victory and defeat... Top of the mind they will tell you, its the board exams...
Ah yes the board exams...
Madami-dami ding courses ang dumadaan sa pagsasala ng board exams... Engineering, Accounting, Medicine, Education, Criminology, etc etc... Kada anim na buwan ang ECE board, April and November... Karaniwan ata talaga dalawang beses sa isang taon ang board exams ng kahit anong course...
Percentage-wise sa mga board exams wala akong alam na board na umabot na 50% ang passing rate, laging mas mababa sa kahalati... But you never get to appreciate the drama of all those who pass and fail sa exams... You only hear of new licensed professionals, or most promising top notchers who would rather choose to work abroad than here or maybe the humble bastards who on the otherhand pay their tribute to their school, teacher or evencountry... Right you are kanya-kanyang drama, but for me, i have deep respect to those gifted individuals who chose to help build the nation here, siemps kahit na dun sa mga normal peeps fueled by principles...
Nyaks! Nalayo ako sa topic...
When i was still an undergrad, i have no plans or intention taking the board exams... Not until one of our "senior" took it, and actually made it...daming speculations na nabuo with
regards s pagpasa nya... Swerte lang daw madali yung exam, sakto na ung nareview nya ang mga lumabas, Deliberated lang daw sya - pasang awa, pero ang paborito kong rason nya eh dahil nagsikap talaga sya, nagpursige along the process...
From there, i realized... Its not a matter of intelligence, board exam is a matter of pride and perseverance, if you really want it and you have the discipline to actually strive for it...
Pagkagraduate ko ng college, may mga friends-batchmates ako na nagprepare agad para sa exams, graduate ng march, be licensed by november... The sooner the better. Wala akong means para magreview nun, wala na kasi akong resource... I gave self review a try, but somehow the method is not suited for me... Hindi naman ako prodigy, in a matter of 2-3 weeks im chapter, books even left behind...
From there i realized, i do need to enter a review school. Sabi ko, i'll have that means of paying for a review school kung magtatrabaho na agad ako.. Better than being a bum and better cards will possibly emerge...
Nandun ako sa bahay nun, around 9am, anime goodies sa tv, ng dumating ang kaibigan kong si joe anthony... He told me that his gradeschool and highschool nieces are in need of a tutor. I'm a bum and what the heck, free snacks wont hurt... Its later that day that i was told im going to get paid for the tutorial job! Php 2,000 a month, 2kids 6:00-8:30, monday to thursday! Compute-compute... I now have the resource to take the board by April! (2004)
Eto na! Destiny awaits!
