ENG 3B
30-senior age back to college
Back then, it could really be said that only the rich or capable could go to college. It is also
not impossible for you to graduate if your parents have provided external support in your
studies, or you may be so blessed with intelligence that many universities will scramble for
a student to enter and graduate there. What if the student is unfortunate enough to fight
for their education then? Even public schools back then had a fee. Students who were not
blessed chose to work to help their parents and not be a burden. To complete a college
education is out of the question until a change in education in the Philippines is
implemented.
HOPE… That is a big word for them—that they will be able to achieve what was impossible
back then. So many people now in their 30s and up have the courage to go back to college
to continue their studies. The only thing they need to get through the problem is moral
support from their family. I am hoping that this university will develop some projects,
continue to guide and encourage all students despite the difficulties we are currently
facing, and promote anti-discrimination awareness among elders while reaching out to
their long-held dreams.
