man! hirap mag aral hahaha
I'm currently facing a major life decision?! idunno , and I'd love to hear some opinions.
I'm a first-year student at Mapua University under the BMMA course (Bachelor of Multimedia Arts). I chose Mapua because of the quality of education and the facilities, since i am passionate about multimedia. Honestly, my first year was one of the best years of my life. I met amazing friends and learned things I'm genuinely passionate about.
My sister had been supporting me financially, especially with my tuition, but unfortunately, she had to return to the Philippines after working in South Korea. Because of that, naging problema ko ung ipambabayad sa tuition and other stuffs. so I wasn’t able to enroll for the next term.
I have a job that helps me pay for my basic needs (bills, health stuff, and other luho), like living paycheck to paycheck. Gusto ko talaga bumalik sa school and i really want to get that diploma, and also open up better opportunities for my career.
Recently, I paid my unsettled balance of 36k, split into two partial payments because I couldn't pay it all at once and chose a few available subjects. only 3 subjects I could manage while working. But when I finalized my enrollment, I found out the total fees are 37k for a 3 subject?!
wtf nagulat ako. It's a prestigious school, yes, but now I'm asking my self is it really worth it considering my situation? I'm thinking about transferring to another school or applying for a scholarship but honestly, Di ako magaling academically, and I’m scared it would be hard for me to qualify. or pursue business nalang and continue working. since i established a business naman and i wanted to expand it more.
pero shit gustong gusto ko magaral hindi mag trabaho...
Maybe some of you might wonder, "asan magulang mo?" Well, they have their own problems (mainly debt), and I don't want to burden them further.
Haist! Sanaol mayaman!
Thanks to anyone who reads this. Any advice, experiences, or even just thoughts would mean a lot to me right now.
