Being in the last year of senior high school has helped me realize that college is just around the corner. Experiencing the 3-day college awareness program made me reflect and think about my goals in life. Choosing the degree program and university for my college years is a very crucial decision of what is ahead of me. I have realized that picking the course that is in line with my interest will help me acquire knowledge in a more engaging way. Also, choosing a university that would give me the best options and opportunities will help me improve and develop my skills and capabilities.

My experience at a 3-day college awareness program makes me realize that there are several possibilities open to us before we reach the "real" world of work and study. A large number of universities offer the courses that I am considering enrolling in. Aside from that, I discovered that there are a variety of scholarships available to us, making higher education more accessible for all Filipino students.  We, as students, just have to decide which degree we would want to pursue in college at this point. Whether it is a matter of passion or realism, what counts is that education is now within reach of many more people than it was before.

I realize that this is the point where we have to part ways with our high school friends because we all have different dreams and next year would be a big change.

I realized in this program that the decisions and choices I have to make now and in the upcoming future is much more important and significant. It's not just going to your favored unuversity but it's important to take note of the courses you plan to take, the costs, quality teaching of the school, or simply how can the school help you prepare in the future.

My realization is that this will be a huge step of my life because everything will be different now and I know that this will be difficult but I'll do my best to overcome everything that will happen onwards. I also realized that I need to do my best right now since this is the last year of my high school life and the importance of everything that I learned through out those years. And also my future will be decided on which path I choose right now.

After attending the College Awareness Program, I realized that I am already getting old because I am about to go to the next stage of my life. I need to prepare my self and get ready to step out of my comfort zone because going into college is a new things, encountering new set of people with different personalities, beliefs, etc. Choosing the school and course we would take in college is important because our future depends on it. We are in our final stage in our dreams so we should really think about our plans in college.

I realized that the most important factor in choosing a university is whether or not the college has your chosen program of study. You also need to choose a school that you can succeed and enjoy. Cost, distance from home, size, extracurricular activities, and housing options are also factors to consider.

During the program, I learned that there are similar courses between the colleges that presented. I am welcome to those.
However, I am still undecided on where I will study. Yes, schools offer various scholarships but I should be driven to study more and be more attentive to the lessons we currently have. I should utilize my school materials to the full extent rather than become passive. College is interactive, yet multitasking is required.

After finishing the college awareness course, I was able to learn more about the universities that I am now interested in, in my view. It assisted me as a student in learning more about the courses offered by most universities. I also learnt about colleges I hadn't heard of before and narrowed down my options even further than before. Hopefully once I am beginning to apply for the universities that I am interested in, I would be aware of the things that I need to submit.

If I were given the opportunity to attend the college awareness program, I would like to learn about the upcoming new college life that we will be experiencing, as well as the importance of choosing the right career path.

One thing that I learned in this 3-day event is to choose the course that I genuinely like. At the end of the day, I decide what I like to pursue since my interest is also important. Why would I pursue a course that I don't like? It doesn't make sense. If I really like the course, I will do everything to be in it.

The college awareness program really helped me in choosing the course that I will be taking in college. There are various college schools that helped us in choosing the best school for our specific courses. With the help of this program, I now know what course and college school I will apply to and enter in the next chapter of my life. I also learned that having no definite course in the future is okay because that really takes time and when choosing the course in college we need to choose what we really like to do.

It helped me realize that you should choose a course according to what you enjoy doing; not because my friends are here, there's lots of money involved, has many job opportunities, my parents took up this course as well in their collegiate years and etc. but it should be because I enjoy doing this and I can see myself doing this in the near future. A fruitful future is decided by a wise decision in college and an even wiser decision in picking your course.

In the program, I was reminded how important it is to choose a career that you like. College is hard, and it will be much harder to choose a career that you are not passionate about. After choosing your career path, you can choose the school that you think offers the best opportunities for your chosen path.

I realized that choosing our courses for college is a really important decision since it kind of establishes what we want to be in the future. We must think about it thoroughly and determine which career/s do we like the most, as it would be hard for us to work in the future if we are not genuinely interested in the field that we chose. Sure, we must also consider other factors, such as the distance of the university that we would like to study in, the costs and the expenses, and many more, but our course is the one that we should really think deeply about.

As a Senior High School student who is about to step on this new journey, the program made me realized that I should prepare myself in getting out to my comfort zone since college life is way heavier than High School. I also find out that these prestigious universities offer courses that I am interested and I can consider.

Attending the events, I realized the freedom we, the current students, have in choosing the college or university we want to attend to and the course we want to pursue, given financial matters are fine.
With this, I also observed that due to the freedom of choice I have, at the same time, I get lazy and let go of exerting any effort at all for this supposedly "crucial" life decision as I know I will get into a university or college regardless.
Thus, I should reform that thought into something as the more choices I have, the more challenges I have to pass. The freedom of choice we can avail right now should not be an excuse to not reach for higher goals and education.
