Here is Mr. Brian Caparas' response to the e-mail that we sent him. He is currenly not in Manila so we just interviewed him through e-mail.
Here are the questions that we asked him:
1. What is your batch?
2. How old were you when you graduated?
3. What were your study habits?
4. What was you college course?
5. Why did you choose that course?
6. Lastly, any advices for students?
And here are his answers:
1. Batch 98
2. 16 y.o.
3. Study habits...hmmm.. basically I start studying by 8 or 830 pm then usually I sleep at 12 or 1 am. w/ all the assignments, projects and exams/quizzes we have to consider we have to prioritize what's important and urgent. and usually these are the long exams since they have a bigger impact on your grade. if im not able to do my homeworks I usually do those in the morning before the class start. in the dorm my classmates and I divide the tasks to help one another. one person will answer the homework for physics, the other for math, etc. in this way we save time. but what's important is you are able to understand what you copied from your classmate. because during exams you are on your own. projects are usally done over the weekend.
4. my course in college was ece, then after my 2nd year i shifted to me.
5. i really wanted to pursue ECE in college because of my interests and skills in analysing circuits. i know I'm good at it and I enjoy and appreciate what i am learning there.looking back i would have finished it. but during our time we had issues w/ the rules the EEE chairman was implementing. let me clear that i didnt have any failing grades when I was in ECE but staying in the dept with all those rules might puts you in a situation wherein you can get kicked out w/ minimal mistakes, considering that the course in itself was already very challenging.
6. I can give you so many advice, but I'll just give the 3 most important that I feel will help you whatever field you decide to pursue:
- accept that life will always be challenging. you really have to work hard and to work smart to get something you consider important. kelangan mo paghirapan yan. you have to be resourceful, creative, innovative, driven and focused if you want to successful. if from the start you already know that anything wont be easy then you will prepare and plan on how to hurdle the obstacles. working smart is better than working hard. though there are many solutions to a problem, try to take the simplest and fastest way. dont make your life more complicated.
- appreciate and celebrate your small achievements but stay focused and driven to reach your ultimate goal. - establish genuine and strong relationships w/ the people around you. this will give balance to your life. it shouldn't be all work/acads. you may be successful but you are alone, do u want that kind of life. also by establishing a good relationship with different types of people, you will\n continue to learn and expand your perspective on a number of topics/subject. by having these connections you can some tasks easier. i hope i was able to help. good luck",1]
