Don't Regret!!!
It happens every year without fail!!! So what was it that keeps repeating itself? Students who failed to grasp the chances of progressing in their studies.
For the past week, I had been send numerous sms asking for help or recommendation letter for students who failed to qualify for further studies due to their low GPA score. So how?
Students don’t realize that even if a teacher were to write a recommendation letter for them it will not serve much of a purpose, unless they are short by a negligible points and unless the letter is written by a head of department. Come on, be realistic!!! If your GPA score is too low, the best alternative is to approach the polytechnic and submit your application with an appeal.
In the first place, why put yourselves in such situation? I read an msn tagline that says, “OMG, my GPA is only 3…., how to go poly?” That is the problem, my young reader or more specifically, my students, realize their situation and it is too late! Now, then they realize that they want to go poly but fail to meet its minimum requirement. For this particular student, it is rather sad. I know that this student can actually do better than what he/she had obtained. But unfortunately, during the last semester, I had seen this students spending his/her time playing computer games. This student may denied it, (probably due to the fact that when you are doing something, you may not realize that you are spending too much time on that) but I can see it with my own eyes that this student was indeed spending too much time, playing computer games. So don’t you think it is a little too late to regret.
To all my other young readers, who are still studying now, please spare a little thought for your future. When everything is over, then you start asking for help all over, hoping that you could scrape through and be admitted for further study, but unfortunately, this cannot be done.
It sadden me to see that those who have the potential to further their studies but due to their lack of foresight, they do things that will cause them from furthering their studies. Helloooooooo, don’t you think it is time to be awaken from your slumber and put a little more thoughts to your future? Don’t wait until it is too late, and hopefully I would not be receiving such calls or sms again in the future.
