- I admit sometimes I forgot to communicate with you but that’s doesn’t mean all the things in the past had changed, it’s just because of the priorities we have but in the end, friendship still reigns.

-I have reached this age and never been wealthy of material things, but if I would cease to exist now, I’ll forever be thankful that I was given a chance to be wealthy of your friendship. SALAMAT.

Graduation Time

   Graduation is ritual where you see students in togas marching up in the stage, smiling while a piece of paper is handed to them. It is the prize of four of burning the midnight oils and moving on a race of getting high grades.

 In a deeper understanding, graduation marks the end and the beginning. The end of a stage in an individual’s life and the beginning of a new journey. After receiving that valued piece of paper called diploma, a new journey begins to the unknown. But graduating is not just a matter of having diploma, it is more a matter of continuing the struggle and in time, serving others.

 Graduation is a ritual of accepting, without exception, bigger boulders ahead. The door to another room is opened. Yet the door that the graduates of Batch 2007-2008 of Hercor College would leave behind will never be closed.

 Our Alma mater, our country, have done their part to make us good citizens. When time comes, it would be our turn to server them in return.

 Success, after all, comes to those whoa are willing to serve. Service had always been the measure of success…

We must not forget those things that we’ve done in our schools days. Those things that w have shared, problems, laughter’s, disco, singing at the gaisano, and most especially those silly jokes that make as laugh out loud inside and outside the classroom. The game that we use to play, and even quarrels that made our friendship stronger. Classmates this BLOG is dedicated to you so that I’ll always remember all of you. If you miss those times that we’ve been together just visit this BLOG it is open 24/7 just for you. I just want to apologize if I can’t text you always. I hope you would understand. I hope you like this BLOG….This is for you CP2B!!!!….See you soon…

This was the multimedia that was shown during our graduation day at HERCOR COLLEGE this was the great memories that we have done under the sun!!! hope you like it…

EDUCATION: OPENS PATH TO GOOD LIFE

“Do you think you’re learning enough? Getting a good education equips one to survive in a competitive world where the ignorant are either pushed into the sidelines or gobbled up by the powerful. Though it is true that not all learning comes from formal schooling, it is still one sure way of making prospective employers aware of a person’s skill. And in today’s competitive society, one needs all the advantages one can get in order to survive, if not to succeed.”

 A FIGHTING CHANCE

            With many young professionals out there flaunting a Bachelor’s Degree yet remaining unemployed, it is imperative to gain certain skills that would improve one’s chances for a better future.

    Although formal education is necessary, there are other aspects to learning which must be addressed. Learning is not just mastering information or a body of knowledge. Students should also plant seeds of honesty, integrity, self-discipline, perseverance, respect for others and responsibility to be able to face challenges more confidently and effectively.

    These fundamentals traits are not gleaned from the school, it is the duty o parents to indoctrinate their children with the proper values.

         The challenges now is to provide students with all the support they need in developing their self-esteem, critical thinking, decision-making and problem -solving skills in the process of learning, and coming up with positive approaches for setting and achieving goals.

         Engaging in extra-curricular activities will help the student tap other learning areas like the development of social, interpersonal, leadership and creative skills. And since the youth face a lot of uncertainties in today’s complex world, adaptability skills should also be acquired. This means teaching them to appreciate change, welcome it and thrive on it.

 RIGHT CAREER PATH

           Of course, gaining an edge also means being aware of the career paths that are most needed. Pursuing a field that isn’t too overload is a wise move for someone who doesn’t want to end up unemployed. Most of the requirements are for Marketing and Sales due to the pirating of people, aggressive competition, and new market trends; some for human Resources, particularly in Organizational Development, Training and Labor Relations due to constant restructuring of companies as a result of mergers and acquisitions; and some for Costumer Service and Finance.

         There is also growing demand for more technical and managerial skills. There is an emergence of new jobs on computers and telecommunications. To get hold of these jobs and survive in today’s fast-paced age of information, it is imperative to gain knowledge on new technological breakthroughs.

 EDUCATION FOR ALL

       There are scholarships and programs aplenty for any student who isn’t daunted by financial setbacks from getting quality education. The most readily available option is, of course, the public school system where, for a very minimal fee, students can enroll and are provide textbooks. Some NGOs and corporations provide educational assistance as well.

         Even private schools offer scholarships grants and financial assistance for low-income students. Government agencies DepEd (elementary & high school) CHED and TESDA ( college ) also provide special education services for students who are unable to complete formal schooling. However, based on studies, the high-tech industry can’t wait for potential candidates to complete a four year degree because of the tight labor market with only a shallow pool of available talents. In the future, therefore, the focus will be an attaining more specific knowledge sets rather than on getting a bachelor’s degree.

         This only goes to show that there’s more to learning than academics. Although one can’t go wrong with formal schooling, it is shown that education starts at home, in the family, with parents as the first teacher. And it also won’t hurt to be aware of the wider picture beyond the classroom in order for education to lead a good future, a good life

College Money Matter

    You’ve finally reach the decision all high school seniors have to make. You’ve decided of what course to pursue in college. You’ve chosen the best college to pursue this course in. You proudly come up to your ‘rents and tell them about your one big plan. And that’s when they dish you the all-important ‘rent issue. “Can we afford it?” 

No need to go soap operatic and think that the world id crumbling around you. Yes, a college education is astronomically expensive. But that doesn’t mean you can’t ask for help, right? Most of the Colleges right now offer academic scholarship and financial assistance programs to ease your ‘rents buck burden.

There are academic scholarships where the percentage of subsidy (amount you don’t have to pay) depends on your grades in high school. There are also financial assistance programs where students from government and parochial schools receive as mush as 75% subsidy. If you from a private school, they can look at your family’s income and check if your family really can’t afford to pay for your college tuition. In considering scholarships, remember that you have to give something, in return. And most of the time, it’s giving your best in your studies. Scholars usually have higher grades to maintain.

Just talk this over with mom, pop and the college peeps (most probably from the admissions department) and find out what specific program you can apply for. You see, college doesn’t have to be hard on you or your ‘rents pocket.

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION

“The chain of education starts from the parents….. school….. teachers”
