appreciate once more

[now just replace all the scihis with whatever it is you've chosen and learn to appreciate]

You never really leave scihi.
You take it with you.

It’s sappy and mushy and corny, I know. But observing myself take zoology tests or science and society tests or calculus tests, even finance and accounting tests in Ateneo, there’s a lot of scihi in my taking them.

I’ve never visited the school since I graduated, I might do so this Christmas break. But I hear a lot of feedback, straight from my brother, from my mom, from teachers, from other students, from alumni. Most of them stress how things have changed.

Well I don’t really think so. Maybe not yet.
I hear there are a lot of disappointing things but I do hear things to be proud of too. Especially when we widen our comfort zones and look everywhere else.

What I really want to say is this: work and make love with the people and the things you don’t like. Seriously. Because what really saddens me is hopelessness, and that only during college do we get to really appreciate what we’re going through in high school.

A lot of people fail because they fail to appreciate both what’s pride-worthy and what’s disappointing. Worse, we pick the wrong careers, the wrong schools, and fail everyone else.

Maybe scihi isn’t much. But that’s not the point and believe me it never is.
The thing is we chose [deliberately or thanks to older people] scihi and it seriously is one of those oops-no-turning-back kind of choices. We could only do so much.

I think the people who win are those who do what they can.
Even with this much.
Now I can and want to win
so I’ll take scihi with me.

Sometimes, it’s that simple.
