Ignition of Determination

Updated: May 18, 2023

New mornings for new hopes.

As another year is welcomed, another bunch of blessings, goals, resolutions, and hopes are expected by us to happen this year. It’s another year to fill our plates with delicious and nutritious meals. Another year to fill our wallets of papers and coins to be saved for the next needs and wants. Another year to fulfill the resolutions we failed to achieve last year. For other students, this year marks the beginning of yet another trip filled with hope that will show them the way out of the cave of hard work.

On January 16, Quezon City University officially began the new semester by creating a fresh path for the students to follow in order to realize their goals. Now that a new semester is approaching, students are getting ready to share a classroom with brand-new acquaintances. For students, who are the only ones who can help them escape poverty, a new semester promised new hope. A new semester meant that the sun would rise once more, allowing us to see what problems lay ahead of us as we worked to overcome them and eventually beat the system. To advance to the next rung of the ladder, you'll need perseverance and persistence to get through this semester. It may be difficult and exhausting to go to school. Schools might entail yet another jug of blood, sweat, and tears.

Most are trembling with fear that it might be another semester to fill buckets with tears and sweats, another semester of hardships, and another semester of sleeplessness. Most are terrified that they might fail the semester and repeat again and again. Most are anxious if they’ll make good accompaniment with the other faces they’ll meet for another semester. Most are sweating that a professor might be terror and hard to please with projects and works.

This upcoming semester may bring about many unexpected events. It may take a lot of effort to see results, and some people may require another ignition to remove a significant obstacle. Some might advance while others might fall behind. No matter what happened, everyone gave it their all to push the big box all the way to the conclusion. Some might fail but that does not mean they’re a total failure. It might mean that they are still working to make a brighter and stronger light to see the right path. Failure might mean that their time has not come to their moments yet.

New semesters might be the spark that lights our path to completion. This could be the cement that smooths out the bumpy path. This might be the oak that helps our boats reach the long river's finish. This can be the saw used to clear the way for tomorrow by removing the downed log. This may serve as the ladder we need to ascend the tree to the fruit we're after.

If the fire of determination ignited stronger than the doubt, everything will be worth it, and all the tears will be paid off.
