I am 27 years old and i am in first year college. I have been dropping out of school since second year high school and never really knew why. I always told myself school probably isn't for me nor education at least in the conventional sense does not work. i stopped my education back in 2002 and have bummed around. finding myself in weird places with all the bad habits and vices.. my life was in a downward spiral.. all along i was telling myself this is not the life that i want for myself yet didn't reallly know how to get out of that kind of lifestyle.. it was a constant struggle for me to wake up and questioning myself everyday if there is anything more to life.. i then asked my friend if he was willing to franchise his business to me, having in mind that in franchising a business would'nt really take much to manage or set up. so i set it up on Oct of 2005. Little did i know that having work and doing something really gave me something to look forward to in waking up everyday and i really got what the word "hanap-buhay" meant. its really living life and looking for it... and not waiting for "it" to happen. on a daily basis i met people from different backgrounds, i have the privelage of meeting someone new everyday and get a peak into their lives for five minutes.
I realized that it wasnt that school wasnt for me, i was just afraid of people. i was just terrified of people that i didn't know and didnt know how to be around them.
I chose to go back to school.
the one school is a non-traditional school wherein the school focus is on business pitches.. i have been here for a couple of months now and have never really said that i love going to school until today.
it is a business school where most of the educators are succesful entrepeneurs who have established themselves in their own particular fields.
A regular day would be talking about what it is that we or i as a person love in my life and how i can translate it into my own business....
to be continued....
