If you think, right now - a college degree is the new high school diploma. Masters or MBA is the new college diploma. Why? Most of my friends have gone back to school to take their Masters or MBA so that they can compete fairly in the corporate world.
The new trend now is to earn your college degree just to get into the decent paying jobs out there. Most of the companies hiring these days require a college degree as a minimum. So if you are in high school and contemplating whether you should go to college, I would say go for it. Nothing can prepare you more in the real world other than your college education.
I had to stop going to college when I came to the U.S. because I didn’t have the means. College is and has always been expensive. But, when I realized that I am not getting anywhere with my company because of my lack of a degree, I decided to go back to college. I have completed my Associates Degree last Spring and now going to Rutger’s University in New Jersey.
If you need help in filling out your college application essays, don’t fret. There are lots of available online help that you can go to for answers. They will assist you in getting admitted to the college of your choice. I am still a few credits shy of getting my degree but I am getting there no matter what. So, I encourage you to go. You will never regret it.
The humor in this clip is so entertaining, I thought it was hilarious. I’m just making light of the subject because of my previous post. Hopefully, this vid can cheer you up. Let’s have fun brothers!!!
My coming out as being gay wasn’t a party at all. It wasn’t even anything eventful. My cousin’s husband pretty much outed me beyond my control. He somehow had the nerve to tell my family about my sexuality without him even knowing who I am, what I’ve been through. I thought it was very selfish and very intrusive.
After he told everyone, the next family event I had to go to was my sister’s 25th wedding anniversary. I was with my boyfriend then and I took him to the celebration. That was pretty much it. We were wearing the ‘barong tagalog’ (traditional Philippine formal men’s wear) together and everyone pretty much knew we were partners. I thought I wasn’t ready but since I know that my cousin’s husband pretty much blabbed about me (more on him later), I just had to grin and bear it. And you know what? It wasn’t bad at all. My family accepted the fact that I am gay and that my partner is someone that I love and they respected him.
Each one of us have our own coming out story. Mine wasn’t as ‘flashy’ and ‘melo-dramatic’ as others but it did happen at a time when I thought I wasn’t ready - but subconsciously, I was. When the time comes for you to come out, you’ll know. Some people came out when they were 16 or 17 or even 35 or 50. It doesn’t matter how old you are. It matters ‘how ready’ you are.
Watch J.P. come out on national TV. He’s a model. It was actually inspiring.
