WhAt A UP sTuDenT is nOt!

People say a lot about this school,the University of the Philippines. A very famous and one of the prestigious school in the Philippines. People have known it as an academic school for smart, intelligent and talented students. I was so lucky to have the opportunity to study here though I find it hard sometimes. Being already in almost three years here, I proved some of the
things wrong that people is saying about being a UPian...We maybe the one who start the trend like being involved in rallies, or debates in our society and by that, people thinks that we are rebellious. Is there something wrong of giving our opinions? I mean, all people have their own rights. They even have their decissions in life , so how can they say that we are contumacious of things we don't even connected to? I remember the very time when I used to be one of the applicants piling up my required documents for the UPHSAT or the UP Highschool Admission Test. When my mom's a bit discourage about this school and having doubts if she should apply me here. Because as what she heard about people's feedbacks, your child may became disobedient and obstinate because UPians are given so much freedoms to express their selves. And it's so wrong for me. Parents maybe concern about their child, the way they are taught in school, the way they should become more educated but It's really up to us.
If we students should deserve the title "Iskolar ng Bayan". If we'll be the kind of "role-model" students who always start a good thing. People just say a lot of things. University of the Philippines is a school for worthy, deserving but under privilage students and because of that people say that we are rude, that we are still ignorant about things. Yup, maybe, we doesn't know a lot about social people and how to deal with them but Is there anything wrong with that? We admit it. We're not that students they are expecting just being here in UP, we have to be the greatest and smartest of all. It matters nothing for us because we all know
that being in UP is the greatest already, that we can be somehow proud of ourselves. Well, as the matter of fact, our parents sent us to this school just to be more educated about things and learn about all things. We can never blame all people who are trying to say negative things about being a UPian.These topics I'm talking about is just some of the people's opinions. As what I've said, all people have their own opinion in life, and we can't change it because they choose to believe in it. Now...all we just have to do is prove to this people that what they are saying is wrong! They doesn't know what it takes to be a UP student. Rude, disobedient, disloyal, rebellious????That's what a real UP student is not!
