S.H.I.T.

Stop right there. I am not swearin, neither am I encouragin profanity. The acronym above stands for South Harmon Institute of Technology, the name of the phony but really cool college in the movie I watched earlier. The movie is titled "ACCEPTED", and it's the story of four friends who came up with their own fake (at first) college after being denied acceptance by virtually all colleges that they applied to. With a li'l help from a disillusioned former college teacher, these "rejection experts" were then able to make things work - for themselves, and for all the other "rejects" who got accepted into their college thru their supposed-to-be-phony website.

Education is deemed very important nowadays. It is indispensable, it is a need, a must, a right. Yet many are actually bein denied that so-called right coz of the presence of college entrance exams, as the case is in many of the colleges and universities here in the philippines. i took a college entrance exam myself, and it was great coz i passed, but then i couldn't justify the need for it anymore. If a person fails a college entrance exam, does it mean, then, that s/he is not good enough to take the course s/he took the test for? when it all comes down to it, intelligence is nothing in college - it's passion, diligence, and patience that makes one graduate with flying colors. someone who passed the entrance exams of a certain college might not do well in there in the long run, and someone who didn't pass might do well somewhere else. it ain't all about who is more intelligent or who is better at something, it's about one's interest and how s/he works towards making things work for her/himself.

"Don't be so quick to judge us by the way we look."
Just coz someone looks and smells like success doesn't mean s/he is so, and just coz something doesn't seem "right" in someone doesn't mean he isn't good enough.
