The thought of being stopped from learning tore down all her dreams and hope of succeeding someday. Apart from love, it is our hope and our dreams that keep us alive. How could that girl continue to live if all her hopes and dreams were taken away from her? She must've felt miserable about her situation and had pitied herself so much that she just chooses to end her life that way.
I'm not blaming the university on this since they are just following their imposed "policy." My concern is that they should have been more considerate. After all, the university is subsidized by the government and was supposed to charge the students lower tuition fees compared to private ones. The problem in our country is, our education is becoming commercialized. Quality is not given priority anymore. And for a student like me, it's such a downer to hear this. Education is our right that must be given importance. It's the ultimate key to progress.
My deep sympathy goes to her family. I wish this would serve as an eyeopener to everyone in the position especially to our country's incumbent government officials. As a concerned youth and a registered voter, I am asking everyone to please vote wisely and scrutinize well the candidates whom we gonna vote in the upcoming 2013 election.
This is so true. It just proves that education in our country is not a right but a luxury :/
ReplyDeleteI just hope that someday, no one will ever end their life just because of a right granted to but a few.
That's the sad truth:'( I can relate with her so much because I know how it feels to stop from schooling due to financial difficulties. I hope this issue would put an end on the commercialization of education in our country.
