defining good education

he school has always been the most important means of transferring the wealth of tradition from one generation to the next. This applies today in an even higher degree...for...the family as bearer of tradition and education has become weakened.


Such words form Albert Einstein imposes a great vigor to the worth of an infamous institution. The circumstance at present utters the need for a reliable surrogate that would mold a child into an intellectual icon that the society is running after. A spot in the heart of every Filipino youth dreams a setting of what most people refer to as the home of the crème de le crème. Today, a hundredfold universities lounge all over the country to give birth to the opportunities for the gifted. The program course, facilities, prospects, and the curriculum most especially, bracket together to form a stable foundation that college graduates aspire upon their professional life. They make you grow and get big.


Nevertheless, to whom much is given, much is also expected. There is a colossal challenge that apparently views itself prior to admission in these schools. Accepting the title as a student of a premiere national university compliments the acceptance of a will to make the Alma Mater proud; to adhere to its long-term traditions; to stand its banner and leave lasting marks engraved on its stone of feats and successes. It not easy to comply with these grave demands but it is worth the risk.


The point is to create a childlike desire for recognition and a childlike inclination for an initiative. These schools do not only set a battle ground for the saga of the brains but a purposive pathway for the development of the spirits. Truly intellectual people do not read books but absorb them. They do not simply write solutions but prove formulas. And most importantly, they know that God is a mathematician of the highest order and he used advanced mathematics to crate this universe.


As the adage says, if you're not big enough to lose, you're not big enough to win. So make a wise decision and stay at an avenue where you can learn big.
