Life is Like a Wheel

Life is like a wheel. Everyone will agree. From day to day there are different encounters. Different events. Different places. Different people. All are riding in the wheel of life.

Books are good

on January-16-11

We went to the mall yesterday and my nephew stopped by the bookstore. I told him to just go for Amazon books so that we can still visit other shops. The convenience of online shopping, huh! Books are good! That reminds me! I have to set a goal to read at least a book for this year. I learned from some of my friends that they can read as many as two to three books per month out of their busy lives. How about me? I prefer TV? Now that must change. Books, books!

Same course

on June-11-10

How early should you research college degrees? Should it be after high school graduation or even earlier? What will you get from it? What are the factors that you have to consider? Usually, a few months before graduation, students are asked to fill out application forms for Universities already. Other parents let their children to try each and every available school. They are thinking that they will send their child in the school where the child passed. Is that practical at all? Maybe if the child selected the same course. When I was in that position, I tried to apply for Journalism. I was not accepted. I settled for a course that I thought will give me a better opportunity like going abroad. Did I make the right choice? My answer right now is, NO. Maybe if I will work harder then my answer will eventually be YES.

My friend is currently searching for the best online degrees. He did not finish school and now he has decided to pursue a degree. That is good news! He is still young and to go back to school is the best decision he could ever make. His parents will be very happy and proud. Since he still needs to work to support his needs that is why he might just study online. It is okay since there are good schools to choose from. Sometimes online colleges are even better.

Education first

My nephew’s cad drawings are really complicated. That is for a person who does not understand computer engineering. Yes, my nephew is going to be a computer engineer in a year or two. However, he is planning to work at a call center already to earn extra cash and to help his parents with their finances. Cost of living is getting more and more expensive or high as the days go by. I understand where he is coming from but I want him to finish his studies first.

No ID yet?

on July-15-08

It is almost a month and my son’s school has not issued their ID yet. Maybe because, they are still expecting some withdrawals? That is actually the reason why I did not pay my son’s tuition fee in full. I accept that my little kid might not like going to school yet. Anyhow, I went to the school today and the teacher said that my son is doing well in class. Good for him, huh! Well, as they say, it runs in the genes, LOL!
