Struggle

It has been 4 months since the last time I checked my email and now I’m enrolled in this class, “Online Journalism”, which requires students to have their blog, to be maintained twice a week with their so to be intellectual entries.
It’s not that I’m scared of technology, as a student I actually need the Internet, computer, and other highly technological devices. Students don’t depend on books alone anymore. Well, maybe I just don’t have time to go to town, to look for a cheap Internet café and spend hours scanning. But I know one thing for sure, not all students can afford to visit the Internet every now and then.
How can a student survive if his/her allowance is only 100 pesos a day and the expenses include transportation, meals, and school materials? As we all know everything has increased, the petroleum, the public transportation fare, all our basic needs, except of course the salary or minimum wage of employees in the Philippines. Our economy is not going anywhere it is stagnant. More taxes, more burden.
I am a penniless student and I have the right to express my thoughts, my grievances regarding issues around me. Although I know that this class means additional expenses for me, I would still be glad to maintain and finish it because this will serve as an outlet to voice out my ideas and concern to our society. Plus I would be able to try the things I don’t know about the World Wide Web.
