The Price

I was looking for the future but I was wrong. I went back to school in order to take the course that I like. I am looking forward to teach children someday and completely deviate myself from the call center industry. Sad to say, I end up  frustrated and unsure if the choice that I made was right.

What is the price of a good education nowadays? What is the price of a clear conscience? It has been now overshadowed by money and corruption. Money makes the world go round, they say. It is true that money does that. It is a commodity that pays for the tools use to give expected results. “Results” would be equal to good education, good service and justice. 

I am enrolled in XXXXX University for the past few months. I was enrolled under a BS Education course. I am also a part-time employee of a call center and I also have freelance job at home. Amidst all these, I was still able to manage my time in school and at work. I have a goal to exceed my previous expectations. I am not satisfied by a meager passing score in a subject. I went to school for a reason: to graduate with flying colors and to be acknowledged for my efforts.

The grading system is created as a measurement of someone’s performance. Without it, people can’t determine what things they are still going to work on and what things they are going to keep on doing. Lately, I was a victim of unjust evaluation. This is just like politicians getting people’s tax money for their own means.

I paid for a education. I keep track of my performance. I make sure that I perform well. Getting a grade that is not what I expected is discouraging.  The first thing I want to point out is the unclear guidelines for the grading system. Why would people with low scores and with a lot of absences get a grade of 1.25 and I get only 1.5 when I scored perfect in the exam and I don’t have any absences despite of the busy schedule that I have? You ask yourself if this  happens to you. If you people ask for a good government with no corruption, it would be better to start in yourself.  If you people wish for a flourishing economy with no financial problems, it would be better to start working hard and true than be lazy and expect something that will be impossible to achieve.

One should get what he works for. If not, then it would be better for that “person” who evaluating you to know your opportunities and strengths. What is the price of being a good person or citizen? What is your price to be true to what is RIGHT?
