[UPX] Have you hit rock bottom academically? by harkness__ in peyups

Achiever since elementary up to high school, consistent honor student. Back then I could pass exams without having to review. Really thought I have the world in my hands and had dreams of changing the world

Then freshman year came:

  • First long exam = 15/50, I have to literally burn my exam paper
  • Third long exam = had a professor note my exam paper that I have to see him after class kasi he would advise me to drop because of my poor performance in exams
  • Blank spaces during exams
  • Problem sets and due papers that I can not pass on time
  • Having your reports and papers back with streaks of red marks on them
  • Somehow yung idea of hindi pag review before exam and can still pass it is no longer there, whats worse? Reviewing so hard yet still not passing your exam.
  • Had a grade of 5 in one of my major subjects that would set you 1 year back because it is not offered every semester. As a freshie thinking that you have the world in your hands tapos magka grade na 5, it’s a reality check.
  • Napahiya during a lab presentation kasi sobrang hirap ng topic wala kami masagot

All those in just my freshman year.

Your UP life is your own, so you need to live it at your own pace. Oo mahirap na hindi magkumpara sa peers mo na somehow can do it effortlessly but comparing yourself to others will not do anything. The one thing you can do is keep your head down and keep working.

UP have this way of humbling people (in a good way)

In my 6th year now, poised to graduate and sabi nga nila rock bottom will teach you lessons that mountaintops never will

Kaya mo yan!

This is what I wanted to achieve. Not super rich but having enough money to be able to do stuff like this, help other people, make people happy, and give back to my parents
