October 5 and 6, 2019 were the days that the third batch of K-12 took the University of the Philippines College Admission Test.
On the last day of UPCAT 2020, I accompanied my friend to send her brother to his examination hall. Seeing students waiting for their exam made me feel nostalgic. I was like them last year, nervous and a little bit happy. Some were just patiently waiting. Some were talking to their family and friends, and some were eating.
While waiting for my friend, I approached a girl with her mother to ask her some questions about UPCAT.
Kimberly Asuncion lives in San Pedro Laguna and is currently studying at Liceo de San Pedro. She chose UP Diliman as her first Campus. Some of her chosen courses are Computer Science and Civil Engineer.
The preparation she did for the UPCAT was reviewing with her friends and classmates. According to her, a week before the examination, all she did was to relax.
I asked her why she chose UP. She said, “Kasi naging basis na rin ng mga companies ang magandang school na pinagtapusan.”
Kimberly Asuncion was accompanied by her mother, Marites Asuncion.
I also asked Mrs. Marites Asuncion about the motivations she gave her daughter before UPCAT. She said, “Relax lang. Kung para sa kanya, para sa kanya.”
