Mediocrity.....

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

This is how the Mr. Webster defines the word mediocrity:
Mediocrity
Main Entry: me·di·oc·ri·ty
Pronunciation: "mE-dE-'ä-kr&-tE
Function: noun Inflected
Form(s): plural -ties
1. a : the quality or state of being mediocre
b : moderate ability or value
2 : a mediocre person

Mediocrity is simply defined as:

+ state of wala lang
+ wa pake sa ginagawa
+ hindi iniintindi ang ginagawa

Many students in the college level are like this because they are the ones that doesn't grow as a true person. They tend to do their work with less precision, its as if they don't care of what their sorroundings expect of them.

Before, when I was in high school, I considered myself to a mediocre person because I tend not to work hard, everything I do is clearly out off my laziness to work. Everything that I do was not leaing towards perfection when I was in high school although I was a soldier at that time. From that mistake in my life I have learned that in college I cannot work like this anymore because my sorroundings are different and they expect something of me that I will do with all my power.

College came, my work was better, everything fell into place as if I was working in clear precision and perfection. Since I first stepped in college I felt that I was unstoppable in my quest for perfection, I've developed a fear of mediocrity in life and in work. I wanted to work with people who are dedicated in their work and work for perfetion although perfection is impossible. I was enjoying myself because I've found some people that will work with me that will do everything in the name of perfection and precision. Then, a terrible storm hit me in my second term in my second year. Groupings were made by my professor, I had no other choice because they dragged me into joining their group although it was against my will. There was nothing I can do, while doing the project and assigning the task needed to be done, no one in my group initiated to do the work assigned to them. I was forced to do them on my own. There was a one week vacation, so i expected the work to be done, done already. But, noooooooooo, nothing was done!!! I was furious! I wanted to commit suicide because there was a one week vacation and they had done nothing to somehow finish the project. Why? One, the consultation of the project came and they didn't come I was the only one there I was embarrassed for them. No text message came why they were not there. I did speak of the project to them, to test if they had any concern for the project. I was right, they said nothing! Again, I was furious for what they did. After the one week vacation, I finished every part of the project on my own. I was about to only write my name on the project, but suddenly, I grew a conscience, it was saying to me NO! write their names. I did write thier names. The following day, I showed up to class looking very tired, and as if I didn't get any sleep for three days. When the time of the passing of the project came, I was about to pass the project then suddenly they took the envelope away and said that they had necessary corrections to do for the project. I got angry that day because they didn't even found the time to text me and say that they had passed the project and that our professor made some necessary corrections for the final project. The following day, they told me that our professor told them that was a problem in the format of the project. I got angry again, then evening came they told me that they changed the format to satisfy the professor. It was a load of my mind, but still i was worried about the presentation day. After the weekend they told me that they wanted to talk to me about the presentation and they told me to handle the introduction. With that being said, i got angry inside!

FUCK IT! I will not handle the introduction! They should handle that introduction! I did everything!!!! I will not be a person of mediocrity!!!!!!
