Media Group Dilemmas =)

Should I cry (not literally cry hehe) because I was not accepted for the media group o should I rejoice because it won't add any more pressures anymore? 

Yeah, those questions are lingering in my head as of now. Media Group was organized by the Department of Communication for training writers that they will 'use' in the near future. Of course as a student, I really want to be a part of that group because (1) Ma'am Barro will be our mentor in the MG and by the way, she is one of the professors that amazes me all the time (2) INCENTIVES, you'll get incentives of course because you'll be training hard for that (3) Learning outside the classroom, there are so many different things that you'll learn here especially in writing and last (4) You have the opportunity to work with the professors in the DepComm. I know there are a lots of great things that I still haven't mentioned here but nonetheless, it's worth joining. 

I tried to join the MG along with my other blocmates and last Tuesday was the deliberation. I was excited, really excited about it. When Ma'am Barro, checked our papers, she gave a perfect grade. If I could just shout at the moment, I would shout but hehehe it's not allowed. Then she told us the students that will be participating in the MG. She only mentioned 3 students and I was not one of them.

JUST BECAUSE OF ONE ASSIGNMENT. It broke my heart when she said that I haven't passed one assignment and maybe that is the determinant why I was not in the MG. I don't want to elaborate that assignment thingy because it will bring me to tears if I'll do that, CHOS. Just refer to my other blog post about my assignment. Huhuhu. 15 percent of our class standing is that one homework.

I already discussed (very prof ito) the pros in joining the Media Group. But most of the time, there are always a negative counterpart in one event or thing. (1) Added pressure, you have so many requirements to be done, reports to be reported, essays and writings to be written and so forth, it'll really add a tremendous pressure for students to think that their mentor is none other than Ma'am Barro. (2) Maybe students will be facing a different Ma'am Barro, before the Media Group, Ma'am already gave a warning to us that she'll have a higher standards to the members of it. "Bawal tanga and pajulit-julit"

Okay, let's face it. Maybe, this is not my time to join the group or maybe this is not the place where I can maximize my writing skills. But, I'll train and train to become a good writer that I will use in the field of media someday. <3 div="div">
