In a post on Love What Matters, Hanss Mujica, 24, explains how he surprised his family by announcing he’d be graduating from college.

Mujica says he wasn’t a hard-working student in high school, but was able to pass his classes. “ In high school, teachers are always on top of you to see if you turned in your work or if you read the assigned book,” Mujica writes on the post. But when he went to college, that wasn’t the case.

“Professors tell you the work that needs to get done and it is up to you to decide if you want to do it or not. After all you are the ones that are paying to be there. That, I believe, was my downfall as a college student. My behavior caused me to be suspended(被暂时停学)from the university.”

Mujica says that at that time, he had a 1.47 grade point average. “When my parents got the news, the looks on their faces completely broke my heart.”

Then Mujica explains how he got his schooling back on track: he went in with a different attitude, applied himself, and worked at a company to pay for school.

“Since I was suspended from the university, my federal aid was suspended as well. I was paying out of pocket and it got to the point where I had to get emergency loans(贷款) from the university. Summer 2015 came by and I could not pay back the loans so I was dropped from my fall 2015 courses. I got out another year from the university and in summer of 2016 I decided to work upstate(在州的乡野地区) to raise the money I needed.

Fortunately, with help from the university dance program and the money he earned at work, Mujica returned to school in fall 2016.

In 2018, Mujica was ready to graduate. He left his parents a letter and two tickets for graduation to surprise them with. “I spent six years in and out of the university but seeing the reactions on their faces was worth every sleepless night,”says Mujica.

4. What do we know about Mujica from the first two paragraphs? A. He couldn’t adapt to the college life. B. He used to be a good high school student. C. He has finally become a college graduate. D. He was sometimes ignored by his teachers.

5. According to Mujica, what was the main reason for his failure at university? A. Too much pressure. C. Bad scores at high school.

6. What does Mujica explain in Paragraph 6? A. How he paid back the loans in 2015.

B. His wrong attitude.

D. Lack of professors’ instruction.
