Thesis Defense


  • I wonder why theirs a lot of Computer Students who shifted to the other courses and they didn't enroll again the course that they have chosen after a year of being a computer student. Some student shifted to other courses and some also had stop. The one reason i heard is "the thesis is very difficult, lots of pressure when the defense are scheduled and they are afraid to fail because of difficulties that they will be encounter in fourth year". The following reason was not new to me. I heard this also from my friends who are now enrolled from different courses. Those discouraging words had deprived my confidence and the cause of discouragement from my part when I become a fourth year students. But instead of giving up I treated this as one of the challenges that I need to experience in order to gain knowledge and to be more matured.

When we begin our thesis or project proposal I admitted it from myself that it was the most difficult part in my studies. We need to spend more time just to gather data to the company/institution where we conducted a study and project proposal. We did some observation from their company about their flow of processes and management. It was very difficult for us as a student to balance and adjust our time just to conduct some interviews to the management of the company and to do some computer works on time. We need to double our time just to submit our documentation on time. It gave hassle to our part because of some conflict schedules from the groups and the difficulties that we encountered every time we conducted a study and every time we do our documentation. It gives also a reason to have a conflict between the leader and members and the cause of misunderstanding between the groups. There's a time that i do not know what I'm going to do and where i going to stand from myself if there's a time that there's a conflict and misunderstanding in my group. We also suffer financially and we sacrifice lots of things just to pass in our thesis. We are very thankful that our leader had a computer and we didn't spent money too much in the Internet cafe just to research and do some computer works.

In order to submit our documentation on time, we did some works overnight and we sacrifice a lot not to sleep on time. But the most embarrassing moment was during our defense because all the things we've done are not yet enough and we did not pass to defend our project proposal. We failed to defend our project proposal to one of the panelist who gave the result of “re defense” as his final decision. We are disappointed that time especially after we saw the comments of the panelist, and it seems that we did not know what we are doing in front of them. I was hurt because of their comments about the way we present. We tried our best to present successfully and defend our project proposal but it did not passed to the panel. After that happened, we as a group unite and we look for the solution in the problems and we tried to study the areas that we failed. We are happy that even we experienced lots of difficulties we are still here facing the obstacle and still fighting. Were blessed that we still continuing our studies despite of difficulties and problems that we encountered in thesis and we become more confident, more patience and more matured in facing those trials. Because we know that it is not a hindrance to finish our studies and to succeed.

Being a College Student and Working at the Same time



Being a College Student, financial issue is a big concern. Being a Student you spend your time in learning and there very little time if any to work. As Student, College days is the most vulnerable part when it comes in financial aspect. It needs a lots of adjustments especially when i decided to be a Working Student in School. When I entered in College, it was the happiest day in my life because I know from myself that I already overcome the challenges and trials during my High School days. But without my knowing, there will be more experiences, difficulties and obstacle that will going to encounter in order to pursue my college life. In my first year in College, I saw that my parents struggling to pursue my studies in College because my 3 brothers are also studying. Even though they didn't say anything about the problems financially but I knew from my heart that they suffer and they sacrifice everything just to send me in College especially when the examinations are scheduled. That was the time that I look for another options in order to help them in my tuition fees.

During the 2nd Semester in my First Year I heard and I saw my friend that he processed some papers for him to apply as a Working Student in our School. That was the time that I decided to apply, and I was thankful that I passed to be one of the of the Working Student and I was assigned at the Chaplains office. I was very happy that I may now have the chance to help my parents in pursuing my studies in College. In my first day as Working Assistant and a Student, I encountered some difficulties in the adjustments of my classes and work responsibility. There's a time that I cried because of some conflicts and adjustments from my classes and my duty. But I was grateful that my supervisor is very understanding and have lots of concerns for the students who less fortunate like me. I realized that being a College Student and working at the same time is not easy, you can encountered some difficulties that you may think that you will lost your hope and give up. But instead of thinking about this, I treated this as one of the challenges and trials that I'm going to pass in order to be successful.

As a College Student and Working at the same time is one way to show your ability to be an independent person, and one way to improve yourself in different aspects of life. Because of Work Study Program Organization of Filamer Christian College and the opportunities that they given, I can say that I may now matured enough to face the new challenges or incoming trials that I'm going to encounter in my daily lives. I proud in myself that I passed all those things, and I become more matured in doing some good things. I don't know what futures awaits me, but one thing for sure I'm willing to face what consequences will be, because i know that God is with me while I'm walking to a journey of success.
