The University of San Francisco
I went to private schools throughout most of my school career. My attendance at the preppy Jesuit run University of San Francisco was an unexpected pleasant surprise back when I got accepted to their teacher credential program on scholarship and then for my Master's in Education many years ago. Just a few years earlier, I had graduated from Ateneo de Manila, in the Philippines, also a school by the Jesuits.
I was actually a full time first year teacher at the same time I attended classes here. I had a packed schedule then and it was a lot of hard work. I worked from 8 am to 3 pm, then tried as fast as I could to attend my classes on time which began at 4 pm and which usually ended at 9 pm. By the time I got home, it was nearly 10:30 at night. Thanks to my youth then, I didn't feel as exhausted. I could only thank the Lord Almighty for his blessings and the wonderful life I was beginning to lead in the US. I was no doubt living the American dream.
Upon arriving home, I had a quick dinner then shortly went to bed only to start the whole process the following day for the next two and a half years.
A lot of changes have happened to the campus since I attended school here. New buildings have been built and old ones have since been remodeled and updated. Marc and I actually had to ask students for directions when we returned and looked for the bookstore.
I am very lucky to have attended most of my graduate studies for free. USF was and is an extremely expensive school to go to.
