It would seem ironic to say that technology although are a breakthrough for humanity means, are not beneficiary in some ways to education. The impact they have on education is impressive, they can useful but also bad depending on the way it is used.

Our education nowadays compared to several years ago is more bearable. Advances like calculators, dictionaries and computers are very helpful, for example a calculator is a great help that has been invented for math. Currently there are many apps which are helpful for universities. In my case, I'm not very fond of technology because I like the old way, to have the materials, lectures and books that I need and not in my computer. Tablets are now often used as notebooks instead of paper, helping in some way to the environment. On the one hand, is good to study with these technologies facilities because they do help searching for information easier to any student, but it also can be our enemy, it's a distracting source especially the social network.

I think we should have a balance between free time and study time. During college life there is time for everything and the secret to the success is a good management of time. Education is the most important thing because it's what open doors in the future, education is everything and technology, a great help to achieve your goals.

 

Marriage

Sometimes I wonder how my life can get affected by marriage as I'm studying in university. Having to study and maintaining a good marriage. If there's a child, how that would also affect it, all the duties and responsibilities that would join on the roles of a student.

Marriage is a sacrament that unites two people by committing themselves to live according to the requirements of the church. So it is the union of two people by certain rites or legal formalities. However I think marriage should be performed after having completed your studies. It's believed that marriage drastically reduces time and if you're studying, it will make it more difficult to organize your time and study. But studying means you have to concentrate and focus only on study and because of this it will affect your relationship.
 
Your priorities changes, having new responsibilities and duties too. You need to work to maintain a household, make payments and go for shopping. You'll also need to grow up, don't think that studying and working at the same time is easy. Nowadays students need to work to pay for their school so a marriage would only complicate more the situation. And if you have a child, you know is a big responsibility and need to make decisions that can mark everyone's life.

On the other hand, marriage is two people, so each one can give the other one that support and help them need.


Maybe you can't finish your studies immediately but can later. Nothing is impossible if you put it on your mind, marriage is not a bad thing but it is very serious and you need to be prepared when that time comes. Is difficult and sometimes impossible to have a marriage and having to study at the same time, the secret it is in communicating and understanding your couple and desire to achieve your goals.

Religion

Have you ever thought about how cans religion influence college? Or how can you handle the different situations and its impact? Different ideologies and social groups can influence both positively and negatively your studies. Because we use religion to our convenience, you'll see that our faith it is often tested during college.

How can religion influence college?
Religion has always been a delicate subject to talk about, it's important to be open minded when you talk or listen to someone talking about this topic because in college you will meet people and they will test how strong is your faith. Religion is an organized collection of beliefs and cultures that relate humanity to a type of existence.

The theory of Darwin (the origin of species) says that...this theory, because of what it says, is very controversial and sensitive. It causes many students to feel uncomfortable when it is discussed. In college you'll encounter a variety of beliefs and not everyone will share your same ideologies so you have to respect that because at the end, we all worship one God but with a different name.

There are different students organizations in every university and among them, a religious one. I personally know two of them, one of the being the "Confra" where the  members are "Pentecostal" and the other one called "Pastoral universitaria" where the members belong to a catholic church. Yet religion serves emotional support and helps us overcome difficult times. It gives us the strength to believe in something though it can seems like everything conspires against us and there's people who are believers but they only ask for help and wait for a miracle to happen when moments are tight.

Is very unfortunate that even in religion exists discrimination, sometimes we tend to reject and prejudiced a person just because their beliefs aren't the same as ours. Studies are extremely important and it's unfair that someone stop studying because they feel discriminated. Faith is the only thing a person can have and no one can't take that away from you, it stays to believe and go on forever.  

  

 

 

 
 

Death

Death, as this may interfere with the studies? How can you change the outlook of view? How painful it can be for other people? How leading to the loss directly or not? There are many consequences that bring death in this case of a loved one. Difficult to overcome and accept loss.

During the time I lived I had to say goodbye to several beloved beings but there was a recent one which has hurt me a lot. On September 23, 2014 I lost a great friend, classmate in a vehicular accident. From overnight everything changed, there was a complete disconnection to studies. Nothing is the same, with just thinking I had life ahead, a promising future, gives me great sadness, nostalgia. I still spread their joy at the memory. As a result of my disconnection I blur me and did not give the required performance and time to classes. I had a not very good performance in the absence of concentration.

I know my friend is in a better place, but this event changed my perspective view completely. It is amazing how in the blink of an eye life can change, stop. Now I try to be a better person every day of my life, love people around me and did not finish the day with some of them angry. I have an open and fair mind, where before making any attempt to analyze future decision possible consequences. Always thinking of the closest to me and the people who love me.

No doubt any loss whether familiar or not, somewhat painful. Because at least at some point one individual feels empathy is put in the place of that person who is suffering and tries to pretend that pain because you never know when it will touch closely. The pain of a loss due to an unexpected death is not easy to cure; it takes and never heals completely. Life is over and you must understand that the Almighty has a plan for each of us and we must respect their decisions. Living day to day and do good without looking at whom to be happy.

We know that does not charge that can support not only ask him strength to all who suffer this loss and not forsake us. Everything in life is possible with faith. It is what gives me the strength and motivation to continue my studies and future plans to achieve that I have. It only remains to say no collapse for any situation that occurs in their lives. It is always important to seek help as I did to move forward and not look back for the world.
