My alma mater. University of Santo Tomas (UST). I remember when I was a little kid, my mom would take me there from time to time, brainwashing my young mind that I must study there. I must. And I did. At first, to please my mom and my grandma. My mom studied there in college. She failed to take up Accountancy because she was already pregnant with me. She finished her minor which is Economics. Her frustration in becoming an Accountant never left her until I was old enough to enter college. She made sure I took up the course she wanted to take then. Again, I did. At first to please her.
But I can say now that in the end, I realized that I did everything for myself. I learned to love Accountancy. I fell in love with UST way before I entered it. Because of its grand surroundings and old buildings and the feel of being inside a university that is as old as the city it is located in.
I miss UST. I will visit one of these days…
