* Lucky are them... *
We have just finished our final research defense this afternoon and I could say that it was a success. The fruits of our bearing was really worth it. Our only problem left is the revision of the comments made by our panel and then we're off.Sigh... Sometimes I regret the time I didn't do well in my studies back in SLU. If I have given my best, I probably would be studying there right now, without problems in the way the school governs the college of nursing. But of course, I do not regret the time when I chose to study at Easter College. I know I've made the right choice because I have seen the college's sincerity and motivation to create a name even though it has only started a few years back then.
I haven't decided yet if I will transfer to another school... again. This isn't for a reason that I'm the type who's fixated that I keep on changing my decisions and so on. It is though for a reason that I'm following a school's standard, it's name and it's capability to uphold a college, which aside from SLU, Easter College has. But now, I don't know what's happening. The college is crumbling and the administration is not doing anything about it. Easter has appeared in many newspapers for the past week and even month I guess and it seems that the situation keeps getting crappy. I know the college of nursing is only one of the many divisions of the school it is handling, but it's sad to know that these issues are only ignored until the 4th years have graduated. It's nice to know that our past dean, Dean Tingda cares for us and sacrificed her good position in SLU for CCDC. It would be very nice to stay with dedicated instructors and dean who would uphold the quality education a college must have but of course, by transferring, there would be a lot of consequences. For one, it would be our uniform. I know it might be a minor problem for others but of course, it wouldn't be easy for our parents who are paying for this. Another would be the distance from home to La Trinidad. The total time it took me to go there was 50 minutes. And another would be our transcript. Sigh. There's too much to handle right now..
Awhile ago during our defense, the school was extremely busy. The clinical instructors who were filed against were packing their stuff because their terms will end tomorrow, March 31. Still, they're in school attending to our needs and research defenses. I wish the school would realize that the clinical instructors they're letting go are the strengths of the college. Seldom will you find dedicated and time-devoting instructors to the academe. As compared to other schools by their standing in the board exams, hello, Easter College stands 2nd over-all in CAR. It's just, we aren't accredited yet. But the school is proud to stand that high even if its title is only College, Inc.
Quality education is hard to earn this days. Few are those dedicated and goal-oriented instructors, lucky are those who have them as their educators...
