I have one reason why I did not choose BS Accountancy as a course of choice when I took the exam in PUP-Sta. Mesa. It was not because I hate it or I do not like it. It was a nice course, hard and challenging but for one simple reason – comparison.
I lived my entire high school life living like a shadow. It was my fault, of course. I was blinded by the advantages I could have once I entered there. I rejected the opportunity to study in a Science High School and decided to study in a National High School.
I did not see the other side – the more complicated side. The pressure and expectations you have to face because of the very same reason.
Isn’t it hurting to hear your love ones saying things you do not want to hear from them? Not to achieve all of their expectations?
I insist not to take the course, and never have entered my mind to take it. I’m tired to be compared. That’s why I decided to choose a path absolutely different from her chosen field. When I was still in high school, I even said to myself not to be in the same campus as hers but I failed. I took the exam in PUP because I have no choice – during that time the result of my current school was not yet being posted. I took the entrance exam there but made sure I would not take the same course. I wanted to create my own identity, my own self, something I could proudly say this is who I really am.
