[14/12/2011] Dean's List Award Ceremony

How to express my feeling? Felt blessed. Felt thankful. Felt proud of myself. After all the hard work and frustration, I know that they had been paid off. I'm not the smartest person and I don't mind not being one. I don't know about others but I'm glad that I got what I got today with my determination and hard work. 

Most probably my last time attending this event in school.

Life as a student for me is not an easy one. As most of you may know, I am involved actively in extra-curricular activities. It's not easy to juggle between studies and AIESEC last year. I had heavier class schedule compared to my peers (after delaying one semester for exchange program). I would woke up early in the morning for classes, sometimes alone in juniors classes. The rest of the days, I'll spend my time working on AIESEC stuff (I was the head of Finance team and also supervisor for the annual dinner of the year). I don't usually go back to my room until at night. I wouldn't say I did it in time management. In fact, my grades dropped tremendously that I wasn't qualified to be in the Dean's list. My poorest grades were for the subjects that deemed easy for others. Honestly, I was humiliated.

With the Dean.

But I still felt thankful cause I was happy in doing what I want. If I were to be given another chance, I'll still choose a hectic schedule like this; studying what I want to learn and doing activities that interest me. My grades dropped but my learning point was at the peak last semester. Worth it =)

My coursemates who attended on that day. Congratulations to all.

Lastly, I would like to stress out a point; university life is not all about study. It is about learning/doing what you like and interest you the most. 3-4 years is not a short one, neither a long one either. Have a fulfilling journey as a student. You'll miss it soon enough. 

With Daniel, top scorers for Economics who is currently working in Ministry of Home Affairs.

 Hope this short post will inspires others especially my dearest juniors.
