It's in God's hands
Late post
That was what my classmate from
review school texted me after the Real estate Broker’s exam last March 16,
2014. And it couldn’t be truer. Why? Grabeh.. Not because the exam was
difficult but because a lot of the questions were out of this world. Of course
I can’t reveal the questions since they let us signed some sort of
confidentiality agreement. But man, a lot of the questions were really absurd.
Not only absurd but there were some problems in sentence structures, there were
also some erasures and handwritten corrections, which didn’t really correct the
errors but introduce yet another error. Well-- I do not claim to be an expert in
giving exams (I’m not even remotely good) but since the ones who made the test
questions were distinguished members of the board who were appointed by no less
than the President of the Philippines, not to mention experts on their field, –
I kindda expected more.
But anyway- maybe this is not the
time to be so critical- because...... God took pity on me and let me pass!!!
Yahoo... I am now a licensed Real Estate Broker!!!! Well I’m not gonna sell
properties, no plans at all, I took the exam and reviewed because I wanted to
learn more about the field I am in- which is Real Estate. To be quite honest, I
just reviewed for 5 days—actually even less because when La salle lost the Game
3 of the UAAP volleyball Finals—nawalan na ako ng gana magbasa, I even got sick.
And on the eve of the exam, that fateful day La salle lost the finals, I lost
the will to review (Yes, I was that affected!). In addition, I wasn’t able to
sleep. Partly because I was nervous and I knew that I was ill prepared and
partly because I was afraid that if I sleep I won’t be able to wake up on time. I actually don’t
trust myself with waking up on time. Haha... But then-- even with the limited
time I’ve had in reviewing and other distractions, I passed or should I say God
let me pass. I will be eternally grateful to the Lord. Daming blessings
Lord—Thank you!!!
3:30 AM – Took a bath, didn’t sleep because I was afraid
I wont be able to wake up on time
5:00 AM-6:00 --- Rode a
Taxi to Recto. Ate breakfast at Jollibee Legarda
6:00-6:30 --- Rode a jeepney to
MLQU where I was assigned to take the exam
7:00-7:30 – Filled out some PRC
forms
8:00-10:00 – Took Part 1, felt
really bad after the exam. Lost all hope of passing. Because even easy
questions from RESA Law, I seemed to have forgotten
11:00-1:00- Took Part 2. Felt
I’ve done better in this particular exam. But still feeling bad because of Part
1. I’ve seen nobody from my group. So I was alone. My flu was also getting
worst. It was my lucky day after all! Felt that this day is starting to shit on
my life.
1:00-2:00 Took lousy lunch. Felt
a little nervous. Still reeling from the miserable experience I had in the
morning, utterly shocked because of all the non relevant questions. Wished I
reviewed better. Felt really bad.
2:00-6:00- Took Part 3. Worst
part. Not only that I’ve gotten a terrible headache, I also felt so sleepy.
This was one of the worst 4 hours of my life. Figured out this day is not yet
done shitting on my life. Felt that this particular battle was already in God’s
hands. I knew that i could only pass with His mercy.
8:00 back in my room. Slept and
prayed to God to let me pass.
Two weeks after, I got my grades.
My lowest score would have to be Part 3. Highest was Part 1. My average was
still in the line of 8. Couldn’t believe it! Well—thank you God. It’s a
beautiful gift. Without You, I wouldn’t have succeeded. That’s all I can say.
