Factors that Contribute to Student's Success

     During our program "Seniors' Presentation" yesterday, we had a very inspiring and dynamic speaker no other than Dr. Nestor Rilloma. He's a writer and works at Philippine Publishing House (PPH), I wasn't able to take  note of his credentials but I can say, he's a man that has something to say. He talked about SUCCESS that's why I became interested and thought that it's something worth sharing. So I took down notes and here's the summary of what he talked about.

    According to him, there are components that brought about a STUDENT'S SUCCESS. It is not a single factor but a combination of a lot of factors. Having gone far to what we are now (graduating students), our success were contributed by what he enumerated as the 7 P's. Here are they..

Parental Premonition. It's the desire of every parent to have the best for their children. Parents always want a bright and secured future for their children, thus sending them to school to acquire a proper and good education. It's the parents who always motivates and inspire them to achieve success

Student's Perspiration. It's the students effort and desire to be successful. A student must perspire to achieve their goals. Perspiring means working hard and doing everything (cheating is not included) to get what is due for him.

Teacher's Pedagogy. It's the qualifications and character of a teacher that is necessary in motivating students to aspire for excellence and achieve success. A teacher must have all the skills, strategies, and passion for teaching students.

Peer Participation. It's the need to consult one another to have a better learning experience and effective interactions.  Sometimes, in a student life you can complete everything just by yourself and so, help from classmates and friends is always necessary.

Financial Pressure. Maybe not a problem for those who are well-off but a major adversity of majority of us. Not just a burden to the students but of the families as well and also a major obstacle in attaining success especially in education.

Curricular Parameter. It's the perspective of what course or career path you have to take, starting from the first day of school when we decided what journey of life we're going to take and finishing it. It not just starting a course but completing all of the necessary curricular requirements.

Divine Providence. Without God who sees everything from start to end, our efforts and hard work would all put into vain. He's the one who supplies all our needs, hears our prayers, protects us day and night and gives us all the things that we wanted. It's all because of His goodness that we are experiencing success.

     Qouting from him, "All requires SACRIFICE. Road to success is not always smooth, it sometimes rough and all we have to do is ENDURE and  PERSEVERE". Such a very nice message from our beloved speaker!

     He also share ways on how to focus our mind in our upcoming success, (most helpful if you are a graduating student),  just check it out in the next blog. :D

Feeling of Lonelines

Image
There are times that even if everything in life seems doing great, you will still feel like your alone. That no one is there for you, that no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that you're okay, that you don't need anybody else cause you got yourself covered, you will still feel it deep inside, the pain and longing for someone and something you can't experience the same and have again. As Tom Wolfe puts it,  "the whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence."  I recently got a two days off and decided to go to the mall to de-stress. My duty was just keep on getting toxic more and more and I needed to go out to declutter my mind. I chose to see a recently released movie, Everything everything, which is based from a novel from the same producer of "Me Before You". Maybe t...

Journey on Quarterlife: Practical ways on dealing with it

Image
In my previous article regarding Quarterlife Crisis , I explained what it is and describe how it feels like being inflicted by it. I also narrated how the journey literally sucked the life out of me. As I contemplate on the experience, on the account of my whole existence, it is so far the lowest I ever had for having lost all hopes and positivity and being consumed by negativity. After a few months which I have endured, basically more than now a year, somehow I got used to the feeling and found some ways on how to deal with it.  I haven't figured it out yet, like most of my colleagues do, but after some time, I've come to develop some strategies to help myself get through. And that's what I'm about to share right now with high hopes that it can also help others who have the same struggles. We are all unique and has different ways of coping so it might or might not work with everyone.  THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING We all have heard a lot of sayin...

What Does It Take to be a Home Care Nurse in UAE?

Image
There are times when I think about of giving up, of going back home and just leave this awful place, this company and this job that I've come to bitterly hate every moment I am part of it. Long working hours, no holidays, no day offs, delayed salary, unsympathetic employers and most of all, a caregiving job as what most of clients think of us that we have to endure everyday as home care nurses. To those who doesn't even have the slightest idea, being a nurse working in UAE sounds so grand, the high salary is what the only thing they can think of and being in a foreign country (abroad) is a great accomplishment. Maybe for those who ended up in a hospital or in a better post such as clinics and medical centers. But for us in home care, it's not as grand as what is sounds like, behind that label is a struggle, a day-to-day grind to survive. Not all working conditions are same, some company have better management and other nurses are in good hands, but when you go and ask; it...
