They say experience is the best teacher. Have you ever experience hellweek. Have you ever felt like you wanna give up? As if the acads are killing you? You did your best but it's still not enough? Well I've experienced that recently. Your friends are partying while you are at home studying. My interviewee also experienced that And I bet you also did.
Her name is Remedios Monica Quitasol but she prefers to be called Nikki. Entered the university of the Philippines last June 2007 as a freshman with a course of Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering.
She liked Chemistry but not as much as she loves Mathematics. Actually she passed the upcat exam for the applied mathematics course But her father wanted her to get an engg course for better opprtunities abroad and it was kind of his frustration when he was her age. When she was 2nd/3rd yr, her mom kept on asking if she wanted to shift courses like accountancy, but then she said she have started with this so she'll just finish it. and at 21/22yo she thinks she know better what she wants to go into for her career than when she was starting college.
She thinks her greatest failure was not making it to the top10 when she took the board exam. She was very frustrated because she knew she could make it and that time she really put a lot of effort when she was still reviewing and even her teacher expected btw the topnotcher was her seatmate. good thing she had her family and friends beside because She really hates failing.
She graduated last April 2012 and one of the pioneer batch of BS Chem Eng. She worked at Teletech for 2 months and also became a part-time tutor. Now she is currently teaching in Sotech, University of the Philippines Visayas.
So if I did quit last week who will give you some speech about experiences? You may be under the Ferris wheel right now just wait it will eventually rise. So who still disagrees that experience is the best teacher?
