About my college education:
During our freshman and sophomore year, we have a total of 7 sections. Everything went well during this time. As we enter 3rd year, this is where the REAL BATTLE begins. Everyone will tell you that 3rd years is very hard so you must come in prepared. But no one will tell you how the system sucks!
3rd years 1st sem, we were around 5 or 6 sections? You will be classified according to how smart/intelligent you are. Section A and B, composed of students who are trying to continue the course but you will fail anyway. C and D, average kids. E and F, smart kids.
3rd years 2nd sem, from 5 or 6 sections, we were down to 4 sections. In this sem, even though you're a Dean Lister when you were a freshman, or a valedictorian in high-school and elementary, it won't matter. It doesn't matter. Section A and B, smart kids. Section C and D, average kids trying to get through. At the end of this sem, some of the students from A and B, failed in their major subjects. Either, you will be delayed and retake it next year OR transfer to other school, overload and still march on time. Most of the students from C and D didn't make it.
I have a few batch mates who are Deans lister during our 1st years and 2nd years but they failed in 3rd years 2nd sem. So they transferred to other schools in Manila, and bang, now, they all pass the boards. All of them.
Am I using what I learned in college:
More on the theoretical side not on the practical side/what you do on the hospital. Focus only on books.
