The negative side of U.P. students
In the University of the Philippines,there are many kinds or types of students.There are the silent types who are really very quiet,the noisy ones (which includes me) who are really noisy and talkative especially when the teacher is not around,and the moderate kind who knows just when to talk or be noisy (when needed).To other people,when they hear the word U.P. they say,"ah,those students are very intelligent" which is true to most or maybe all (char!) students here or UPians as we call ourselves.Although some are not so good in the academic level,they are not to be considered as "dull" because certainly they are not.Maybe it is just because they have a hard time understanding and adjusting to the lessons.
Answering the question "what U.P. students are not?" here are some sentences describing the qualities and what kind of students UPians are.First of all,we are not so very well-behaved.Some students are really quite of the silent type,but as the school year advances you can really see the different changes that happen to the person.Their hidden qualities are seen.They become naughty,talkative,playful and also noisy.This really shows that the first impression is not true all the time.You may say that a person is really like that but as time passes by you would then realize that your judgement was wrong when you would see his or her real self.UPians are also not very obedient.We do not listen to our teachers sometimes.Not only to our teachers but also to our student teachers.Whenever they tell us what things we should do,we only don't mind them or else we just do things in our way or our own style.We do not care of what other people would say about us.Being not studious is another quality or trait we have.There are sometimes that we do not study especially whenever there is a test.We know that we should study so that we will have high scores but sometimes when what we are studying does not get into our heads or brains we just do not force ourselves because it would just make things more difficult for us.Like when you get to study a very long chapter of your book then aside from that you would have another test in another subject the next day,it would really be very hard for you.Me,all I do is study whatever subject goes first in the schedule and study the other one later,but if there is no other time to study the other one left I just have no other choice but to leave the other subject behind and wait for whatever result it would have.Punctuality is also another of the not so many negative qualities that U.P. students have.Although some of the students are very punctual there are really some who are not.Some arrive very late not only during school days but also during some practices.It seems that they really could not do something to solve their little problem.We also are not cooperative enough when it comes to school activities.Not only stopping there,it also includes classroom activities and presentations given to us by our teachers.During practices not all would cooperate,some would go missing in just a second and then you will just find out that they would be or are already in the nearest internet cafe playing online games or just simply surfing the net.
Those qualities stated above are maybe just some of the negative things I can describe students of U.P. High.If there are some things lacking or I missed to put then it is up for you to observe,know and recognize what those are.
