A Student’s Bittersweet Story

by: Archi Byqn

 He slams the door, thrusts his fists on the wall. Force so strong it nearly broke his arm. He began to weep, his palm on his face, his shoulders shrug up and down, down and up, and tears flowed very heavily. He keeps on thinking how stupid he is to fail. Fail once again from the verdict of glory. He remorse but results can never be undone.  “How could I possibly fail, when in fact I am a brilliant, very intelligent kid?”, he keeps on asking himself. He throws whatever he sees, the pain of losing he cannot tolerate.
If only he could rewind the past and make the necessary adjustment. He should have exerted more effort for the course requirement. He could have listened more to the lectures. He could have been more serious on his studies. He could have sacrifice a little bit of his precious time to complete his assignments and review for his quizzes. He could have been more diligent as a student. But there he was: texting, facebooking, internet gaming, entertaining, love-making, flirting, etc. Clearly much of his time was wasted doing irrelevant things. He never really cared about his academic performance. Now he is paying the price; his grade a mocking failure.


He is hopeless. He is in dire pain. Failure is such a big word he can never accept. Who wants it anyway? After crying from knowing he will never pass, he begins to feel better. He can finally move on and learn from his mistake. He is now much wiser than before. He learns a very valuable lesson: to prioritize what is really necessary. To prioritize studying rather than watching yaya Dub and Alden flirt together. To prioritize doing homework than drinking and smoking weed from friends who don’t care at all. To prioritize meeting academic requirements than partying all night long. He keeps those lessons in his heart.


Four more years has pass, several occurrences tested his faith and character. Valley of death, peak of joy, frustrations and victory he all experienced. He endured a long, arduous journey. And now, here he is on the stage with his parents: to receive his Diploma for his BS degree. The joy on his parent’s faces he can never paint nor describe. His mere presence on the stage made him feel very special on that occasion. He is so thankful for the accomplishment. For all he knew there were four things that totally changed his life.


SELF-DISCIPLINE. DETERMINATION. PERSEVERANCE. FAITH.

Living Life One Step at a Time

Image
Where there times when you feel like you're not accomplishing something important? As if all the things that you are doing doesn't worked out as plan. Sometimes you wish to become triplet so that you can hit three stones at the same time in different places. But you are also aware that it's just not possible and crazy as it may sound, you are secretly hoping that Science will find a way to triplicate ourselves. In a time when 24-hours is simply not enough, having a clear focus is important. Prioritizing the most significant and urgent things in life is a great skill that must be embedded in our self. Saying NO to the useless, time-consuming activities that are sometimes draining is good for yourself. When the pressure to achieve more to be the best in class, in work, in sports and in so many other areas is pressing, living one life at a time is truly a rewarding  choice. So how are we going to accomplish this. I am suggesting you to use the following strategies: 1. Pr...

Understanding Autonomic Pharmacology: A Short Essay (Part 1 of 2)

by: Archimedes O. Bayquen, RPh, MPH The autonomic nervous system (ANS) has been described many years ago as a division of the peripheral nervous system. It is subdivided into Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest, Conservative and Restorative function) and the Sympathetic (fight, flight, fright, stress response). The Enteric Nervous system is also a division of the ANS consisting of Myenteric or Auerbach plexus and submucous/Meissner’s plexus. The ANS is involuntary, automatic, unconscious response. Think of whenever you breathe and whenever your heart is beating. You don’t utilize your conscious control to initiate and sustain their function as they do their job independently without your control even when you are at sleep.Most of the organs in our body are dually innervated by both branches. Only very few are not—worth mentioning are the sympathetic cholinergic sweat glands in the skin and the blood vessels. Let us very briefly take a look at how these two systems differ. In ter...

Bakit Kailangang Lumaban?

Minsan sa ating buhay, darating tayo sa puntong hindi na natin kaya ang bigat na ating nararamdaman. Sisigaw tayo, iiyak ng taimtim, papatak ang maraming luha, magtatanong kung may nakakaunawa, at maaring mag-iisip na wakasan na ang lahat. Mahirap maging "tao", mahirap ang mga balakid at problema pero sana atin ding maisip na posible itong masolusyonan.  Galing ako sa isang mahirap na pamilya ; walang trabaho ang aking ina at ang ama ko nama'y farmer lamang. Mahirap ang aking naging buhay, hindi naging madali mawalan ng baon para makapasok sa eskwela. Hindi madaling umiyak dahil wala ka ng pamasahe or pambayad ng matrikula. Minsan kong naitanong kung bakit napakatanga ng aking mga magulang, kung bakit wala silang pera at hindi nila kayang maibigay ang aming mga pangangailangan. Nakapagtapos ako sa isang public school ng elementary at sekondarya. Sa katunayan, class salutatorian ako sa Special Science Class ng isang National High School sa amin. Kahit sa sobrang hi...
