Few months from now, I am certain that I'll be graduating. As I am about to finish off my college life, I've realized how I wasted the chance of giving more than what I have given to my entire school life or education; and how I still wanted to learn more and give more.
I haven't been a good student, though I got really good grades together with all the recognitions, awards, and medals, I am not satisfied with the efforts I've exerted to my education with so may years of having the chance to do so. I know I have not given the very best of my capabilities although I am aware that I have so much more to give.
I hope students will realize how blessed are them to have the opportunity to study, and I suggest that they study more and exhaust the professors and the facilities of the school to really make out the most of their education.
We don't have to get all A's in our subjects, I am not after the grades, recognition, and the like. I am not encouraging anyone to be a nerd, to compete with other people for the sake of winning. Learning is more than that, more than science, more than philosophy, and so on.
It's just that, learning for me is a gift we must appreciate well.
Learning is something we should not be afraid of taking risk and giving of our best. Learning is one of the most wonderful things life could offer. I know if we have discovered the true essence of education and learning, we'll appreciate it more. The recognitions, the result of landing in a good job, having a high position, and earning so much were just the bonuses it could offer. But more than that, doing so much to learn is a way of expressing our gratitude to God for being human,with the ability to think and rationalize.
Learning is not limited to the classroom setting. However, it is the most explicit form of learning, that's why I am encouraging students to be motivated in studying.
Let's not set boundaries to ourselves in giving what we have. I believe that each of us can give so much more than what we are giving which we often thought was enough. Do not be afraid to recite, ask questions, admit that at times we do not understand things, etc.
Never get tired of learning. Learning is fun if we see the true value of being able to learn and having something to learn on. Let others learn from you. Continue learning. Enjoy life. Enjoy God's gift.
"And how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus."
