Mount Third Year

Just got this thought from my data warehousing instructor this afternoon. He told the class, especially the 3rd years that are enrolled (the subject is an elective, so there are third years and fourth years currently enrolled) that "Third Year Second Semester is the Hardest part of college life of a student". He compared the third year of college like a mountain climbing activity. In the first semester, it was just a beginning of a long way up to the top of the mountain. In the second semester, you're already halfway. As you continue to climb up, the challenges that you'll be encountering become harder and harder, doubling the pain from the other half of the journey. You need to double your effort and prepare yourself for these challenges that will test your capabilities. The more you bleed when facing these tasks, the more chances of getting the highest price and reach the top of the mountain.

I'm just smiling after he said that but in deep inside of me, i realized that our instructor was right on what he said in class. We, junior students must exert much effort in all of our subjects in order to stay in the track, going all way up to success. Hardwork = Success not Hardwork = Failure. I'll move out after a long rest in the halfway of the trail. Climb all the way up to succeed and stand at the top of the "mt. third year IT".
