As a Transferee

“Where? Not La Salle! And so not UP as well. Ohhhhh… Why not the second best right now in the CPA Board Exam? SAN BEDA!”

There are lots of anxieties that a transferee student like me has to face as he moves out of his old academe. Honestly, I didn’t know ‘til I decided to alter things for a better me. It did give me repeated nights of pressure and all the like just to choose which exciting school to enter. So then on, I thought of pursuing my current course and having the idea means that if I’d really like to opt the option to transfer, then it has to be a school that has, perhaps, the best system for that program.

I was in the moment of truth. Sometime in 2nd week of October, after two days of having thoughts of transferring, we, Iris, Erika, and I, visited San Beda just to try our lucks out. It turned out at the end of the day that we were half-decided half-not. We went back to Mapua and learned that we hafta cancel the enrollment and get refund ‘til the second week or pay the whole tuition and leave if it was cancelled beyond the second week. So though we were 20% reluctant, we decided to go for it. The anxieties went in like flood just after that. Loads of requirements had to be made though. It was like we were having Amazing Race from San Beda to Mapua and Mapua to San Beda. Professors, who were our second mothers, talked to us regarding us transferring to another school. We saw our friends cry as we bid our farewells and let them understand that our group has no end, we would still meet. It was a promise.

Regrets went by to say its hellos. The rest was history. It’s like it was to test me or like hit my adversity quotient. There, I already proved that I’m fierce and strong when it comes to that. It’s a bit shameful to say that I’ve taken the DLSUCET twice just to pursue my course in that school. The first try was a failure and so was the last try. BS Accountancy in La Salle, perhaps, won’t fit me. So they say… Oh factual, I did pass a liberal arts course but not Accountancy which was really my only condition to transfer. So to that, it was still considered a failure. Giving me like another course from their Liberal Arts won’t gain my mom’s affirmation. (For your information, Mom only knows one course and its only Accountancy.)

Mom told me that it’s not for me. Oh yeah, I guess it really wasn’t for me. It was a bit depressing though. There I said “it WAS” and never will be a part of me now. Good thing that I have these people around me who give me driving force. They are my family, friends, past professors, you, and God. Thanks to them. So now, I found what’s really meant for me… It is to be a Bedista and yeah, and still take Accountancy. It’ll always be a part of me, right MOM?
