I came to college and had no idea what to expect. When I entered the school I have chosen‚ it seemed like I was in a new world with people I do not know. I walked around the campus and felt like I was this lost little freshman. FEU was not my 1st choice actually. I just had no choice. But my “tito”

ESSAY Mateo Yibrin “My country is dying!” After analyzing the sad‚ miserable conditions of my country‚ my brain and heart signaled to me‚ “I have to make a change.” Shocking evidence of extreme poverty that kids have to suffer everyday in my country is appalling.

“I’ve blamed myself enough for all the mistakes I’ve done during college.” And funny how I said that as though I’m already done with college. To tell you upfront‚ I’m still in college (that should be obvious) but most of my batch-mates are graduating (or have graduated) already. I really thought college was going to be an easy peasy affair. But NO! Hell no. At first it was a delightful experience – everything’s new and seems alright. It actually felt like you’re just in high school. Taking breaks

or Not? What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think of college? Do you picture library study groups‚ dry endless lectures‚ or maybe a group of young adults tossing paper balls into cups filled with beer. Personally‚ I pictured the latter‚ and that’s exactly what I got. Sadly‚ my priorities were not in order‚ and with only months left in my second semester‚ I became what I despised most — a college dropout. Of course‚ being pretty pleased with myself‚ I did not see this as my
