Saint Mary's School of Sagada

Being a student requires commitment and hard work.

I have studied in SMS for over three years now. In all these years I have not truly put in my commitment in my academic life. I have always slacked and let the time pass without truly achieving anything. I have truly realized now that this should not be.

I now know that sleeping things off is not the way to go. I have missed so much in my life just because of this laziness. I have not achieved what I fully can because I’m lazy. I always thought that even without working that hard, life would flow smoothly through my way.

Laziness leads us to nothing. This thing only holds us back from our true potential. I have tried to truly do my best but I just cannot because I have been lazy for so long. I have gotten used to the “bahala na” attitude in dealing with my life.

It may be too late now but better late than never. I know that emotional underdevelopment affects our life largely. The 5^th year program will give me a chance to improve for college. The extra year can perhaps help me cope better with the world and give me a better chance in surviving in this world and I understand that I also need to do my part in order to be the best I can.
