CHANGING MINDSET TOWARDS CAMPUS.

By SUSAN.

  From the moment you start learning, only one thing is drilled into you. Education is the key to success. Students  who have charming report cards are seen to be having a bright future and those who do not take a keen interest in academics go through continuous shaming in a bid to make them do better. The truth is,it does not always happen and they end up having a bruised self esteem. Parents consider going to the  university the pinnacle of academic achievements. After passing your O levels that  is where you continue with studies at an advance level.

However, that ship already sailed.The time of honoring university as the highest learning institution to acquire skills and be professional in a certain discipline has passed.Previously, the idea of going to university was idolized by parents .It spelled out a job opportunity soon afterwards and a bright future .However, with the increase of students and youths being churned out of campuses ,that dream soon fades away and reality of joblessness and unemployment kicks in .Next time before you celebrate university admission, ask yourself if that is what you really want .

Due to culture shock and peer pressure, most  students who leave university to go back home appear unruly .The change in dressing code,speech pattern and drug abuse is like a new norm. This makes parents feel like they changed  and they lost their children along the way.It is this blanket notion of moral erosion that is making parents change their mind about university after all.

Let us forget about the gloom for a moment .If utilized properly ,the university is a great place to be .The people you meet that are different  from you make you grow.The connections you make after class become the most important and together with a sretlin degree you will have people to recommend you for opportunities and that is all you need;someone to believe in you.Of cardinal importance is building on your interpersonal skills and technical skills .Work on your talents, gain new ones and you will beat competition.
