People have different perspectives in life, on the things they do, why do they behave in such a way wherein some people don’t understand them, how they decide on something and in choosing a university. Just like what John Niña Andrade did a third year student from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Sta. Mesa Manila, taking up Broadcast Communication.
For Niña, being a student of PUP is fun but sometimes boring, “well I guess it’s not being a student from PUP, that makes it boring but being a student itself—it’s a tough job”. She chose PUP among other universities for the reason that the tuition fee is low and before she made a decision, she first conducted a research about her chosen university and it surprised her, when she found out that the university she chose is one of the best here in the Philippines. She doesn’t have any regrets in her decision choosing for the reason that she hears a lot of positive comments about the state U, and that makes her proud to be a part of the so called “Iskolar ng Bayan”. Well if were in her shoes I’d be feeling the same thing as what the PUP tag line states “Pataasan ng Utak, Pababaan ng tuition” it’s not a mere form of fallacy, PUP is living up to it, proving how worthy its students are and PUP is accepting students from different walks of life—giving hope to those who have lost it.
She sees herself five to seven years from now as a PUP graduate and one of the desirable employees there can be. John Niña assumes that her life by then would be financially, emotionally, physically and morally stable. She believes that she has the security that she needs by that time, she wants to be in “THE” position in a respective and a well-known company and of course, earn a lot of money. Well, nobody knows, five to seven years is a very long time, many things could happen; yesterday you might be young and happy, today you might be alive and in love, tomorrow you might be dead. Not a soul in this world holds neither of our future, it’s unpredictable.
She rated PUP with an eight from a scale of one to ten, one as the lowest and ten as the highest. When she was asked why; she answered, “Though not the best, we’re better among others” a quotable quote given by her, that would definitely inspire other aspiring college students.
Ms. Andrade wants to be remembered by her alma mater as a hard worker and exerts efforts on everything that she does.
People are unique in different ways, manner, lifestyle, and how they run their lives. John Niña Andrade is one of those few who chose to run their lives together with PUP.
