Comments (1) Thursday, September 06, 2007 it hit me just now. this is the last year that i will spend in UP as a student. it's as if it was just last year that i just entered UP. but a few months from now, i will be walking on the stage among the others who will be called "Centennial Graduates" (UP centennial anniversary 2008).
i just pray that my "last year syndrome" would not affect me this time. during my high school, after the three years of my rigorous studying, i suddenly became discouraged during the last year. i lost all my motivation to study well, all i wanted was to JUST GRADUATE. it was maybe the combination of all the pressures (academic and personal issues), and of the strain that was starting to tear my brains apart, that i gave up fighting. i graduated from high school sure enough, but my final average was a meager 2.25 - proof that i had truly lost any motivation to get good grades. but now i have come to realize that i lacked something much much more important at that time. more important than any motivation that i could have. i lacked the Saviour. i hadn't known Him during that time. sure i acknowledged that He was a real person, and that everything the Church says about Him is true, but that was just about it. i never really understood who He was, and what He has done for me, for you, and for everyone else. that's the difference between then and now. forty percent of the final year has already passed, and i am once again experiencing the pressures and the strains that i had experienced during my high school. and it worries me a bit, that there is this possibility that high school might repeat itself all over again. but now, i know that He is here with me, guiding me and leading me to the way that i should take, to the things that i should be doing. because of Him, my life has direction, and because of Him, i cannot afford to repeat what i have done in my highschool. i must do everything i can to bring glory to His name, and failing at my final year in the university probably wouldn't give Him glory. i thank Him that He is here with me, giving me the strength to carry on for His glory and honor. and because of Him, i am confident that i will never be left alone all by myself. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ! "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) macky
