If you finish your degree, how will this contribute...

This morning I was cleaning up my room and digging up some old stuff from school. I happened to read my essay before entering in the college of communication arts.

I remember before writing down, I was thinking about the 1,000 words requirement, not so much with the thought of the content but as I went along, ideas just came in with a dedication to write it.

I am going to share to you a little bit of my answer.

The question goes like this:

IF YOU FINISH YOUR DEGREE, HOW WILL THIS CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, TO OUR COMMUNITY, YOUR WORKPLACE, SOCIETY AND COUNTRY?

Education is the key to success. If I finished my degree, I believe this will contribute a big role to my personal development in a way that  will build my self-esteem and self-confidence. It will further for my self-improvement. I will have a positive attitude by applying motivational principles on daily basis. I will not  hesitate to open up my ideas and implement it, to be able to perform my task at a higher level and achieve the success I desired.

In our community, it may be a tool to be able to share my knowledge by developing better communication in my neighborhood. Because I believe, acting on community level through communication, giving practical communication at the right time is a start to develop a better country.

It may help me organize action-oriented activities and recognized programs from government or NGO's such as quality health and good human services to rural residents. It will also contribute in persuading people to participate in community for capacity development. In that way, I can be a help in poverty-reduction in our community.

In my workplace, it will contribute to my intelligence in everyday interaction with team members and employers by showing how to motivate and resolving conflict in any case. It will also enhance my credibility to use my reasoning and emotional appeal to persuade people.

In my society, it will be able me to initiate alternative effort to fight unemployment and generate economic growth. In this changing society, stepping forward to be a better citizen should be performed.

I will practice what I have learned from this course and I won’t rely on theories only but will actually start on doing it and get results.

Lastly to my country Philippines, it will lead me to  a sound research and keen analysis on how to be a better citizen and to gain a better understanding in daily existence and truly help my country in my own little ways.

Truly enough, I have finished my course and I hope to live to this statement possibly in my daily encounter not only in words but also in deeds.
