Best Thesis (For the Record)

Posted in Four Corners at 1:00 pm by erald17

I am simply smiling over the thought that our group garnered the highest points for this academic year’s BS Legal Management Theses. I can never forget how I asked and at the same time challenged Jerueh when we were just starting if we can make our work the best thesis, although I was so doubtful that time because we haven’t accomplished that much. I was almost always nowhere to find during meetings and working days due to inevitable other meetings and appointments. Good thing my groupmates are very understanding. H­owever, during th­e last few days before submission I started sending my VP to attend several “fatal” meetings just for us to be able to efficiently finish our paper. During the last few days we were literally living under the same roof (Thanks to Avida Residence). The last few days or weeks are the most unforgettable. We have been through hundreds of editing, revisions, reprinting and re­editing. Until finally we could­ say that there could ­only be 3% overlooked correction in our paper. But that was before undergoing the defense.

Then our big day came. We were third to defend out of a total 9 paper presenters. During the first fifteen minutes we were able to present the way we practiced several times. Then came the questions and recommendations portion. They had very few questions and clarifications on our paper and some recommendations. With the way we, particularly I, had answered, and the recommendations that the panelists had laid down I really thought that our paper would be rated­ under content revision –to be graded around 87%. I was already disappointed. But when we were called back to the room after deliberation… taaddda­aa!!! We got the highest so far out of the three groups that presented. Whew! At least. That made us all smiling and satisfied. ­Then came other presentations ­­- group after group. Eventually, after the final group was deliberated, our paper was proclaimed Best Thesis. Kudos to you (Kuya Ian, Ate Vee, Jerueh) groupmates!­ Not to forget Granny!
