My La Salle Dream

I opened my e-mail a while ago and was surprised to see my cousins' e-mails for me. I e-mailed them last week to spread my so-called "good news". I promised them to keep in touch through e-mail because we're "oceans apart". Anyway, I was so happy that we get to share about ourselves even just through e-mails. That was the wonder of modern technology.


Anyway, I didn't update my blog to write about e-mails and the wonders of modern technology. I wanted to write something about my dream--- my La Salle dream. It came true.


Not passing my first choice in La Salle was one of the greatest and most sad moments of my life. I may sound exaggerated, but it was true. I cried the whole night when I learned that I didn't pass my first choice (biology), although I expected it. As far as my memory was concerned, I guessed almost all the questions on the test paper because I was totally unprepared, thanks to Milenyo, the killer typhoon. However, I passed my third choice which was early childhood education so it was okay. Hooray!

I looked like a complete baboon when I jumped inside the Admissions' office when I realized that I passed my third choice. I gave two thumbs-up to Ate Rosie and to Sceiy and I didn't care if there was an extremely cute guy, who saw what I did. At least, I made him smile..haha.

I texted everyone to spread the "good news". They all said they were happy for me because I got accepted. They even said, "Sabi sa iyo eh, kaya mo 'yan". I made it, and I did it...but this wouldn't be possible without them and God. They gave me the inspiration to be strong. They helped me. And I thanked them. I mean it.


Since La Salle is trimester, I only have few days left to enjoy my vacation. This coming May, I would be busy running back and forth to Taft to enroll, to have my medical and dental check-up, to have my Id picture taken and to attend my two-day orientation. In three weeks or four, I would be moving to my dorm and on May 23, it will be the start of our classes. It makes me feel sad, but it also makes me feel good because my La Salle dream has come true. Like what Audrey said, "Ate Dana, LASALISTA ka na!". Oh yeah!
