PROCLAMATION RALLY

Ii must say that the Proclamation Rally that we have attended last Tuesday was indeed a learning experience for all of us Mass Communication student.

I must be admitting it that the Proclamation Rally is not that comfortable for us. First, it is very hot that we were all in need to walk under the heat of the sun because the bus did not able to pass the barricades. Secondly, before we were able to pass thevery narrow gate, we were first experienced other people who are pushing us left and right just for them to get their meals. Last, because we were not able to handle our interviews and stand-up reporting since there were a lot of people inside the convention center.

But, i would like o say that because of that event we were able to realize that in our field, it is a part and parcel that we should be experiencing taking risks for us to get the freshest news in the town.

I must also say that my classmates have enjoyed what we have done there because it is a mixed of our emotions. We are a bit tired but we were able to feel at least for a very short period of time, the fun and excitement plus the thrill of being media people.

V.J Hunt 2007 with ABMC 3 : For the big star...

Feburary05, 2007 was our V.J Hunt, which is biggest event for mass communication.. It is biggest event for us because all of mass communication students paid attention for this activity. And because all of mass communication students pay attention to this one event, we can’t ask other people’ opinion and so it is very difficult because we have to think about everything from stage, lights and so on.

Making stage and the light thing were so difficult for us because we have to make it different from previous years. And we also tried to make fog thing to cover stage. Anyway, we finally made good one and everyone was telling us that we made it well. I’m very thankful to my friends who really put their effort to make stage.

When V.J Hunt has started, we felt so happy because it seemed it was best among V.J shows we had. And good thing is teachers told us that it was best ever compare to previous years.
And when V.J Hunt has finished, we felt comfortable, we were satisfied and we were so happy that we made V.J show as best. However, one thing I regret now is if we had enough time to make V.J show, we were able to make it better.

It's hard to choose between the class and university activity.

I can’t see the point why I was marked absent because of attending a university activity, which was intended to promote the school or our course, to make it more specific.

Next year, I don’t think I would be attending that activity still. If I would just be marked absent because of showing my concern for the school, I would better become passive to the call of the class.

The good attitude of student.

I would like to commend the Administrative Staff of this school in showing its great effort in inculcating values among its students.

The latest memorandum passed last month which is very much touching the attitude of students inside the classroom deserves applause. Nowadays, we, the students take for granted the teacher in front of us as we use our mobile phones, and secretly text our mates.

With this memorandum passed, students are now avoiding the irritating act of secretly texting while the poor teacher tries her best to discuss her subject matter.

For what do we live now?

I can’t see the rationale why we need to spend much of our time and money in doing an activity project, which I think is far related to the real subject matter.

I can’t see the point why do we need to submit a project when in fact we were not even taught about the basics of the task.

Likewise, where is quality education when we do not even get the essentials of the lessons being taught?

Teacher's and student's....

I do not get the logic why we, the students, should always be adjusting to the demands of some teachers, when in fact; some teachers could not even understand our little concerns.

With all due respect, I highly salute to the teaching profession. In fact, I myself consider this profession as the noblest among all. With this, I have respected for how many years the authority given to teachers. But this does not mean that I will always follow with their nonsense demands. As a student, I was never trained of this function- being forced by somebody else.

I believe, mutual respect and understanding ought to exist in teacher-students relationship. A teacher would not be effective if what she likes shall always be followed. Likewise, though this will sound irrelevant to the previous sentence, a teacher is a total failure if she has no firmness on what she dictates.

To those who possess the criteria I have mentioned, scale your efficacy as a teacher.

THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE

We are all facing different challenges in our lives. We are sometimes feeling that we should already give up because we think that what we are experiencing are too much. But in the end, we all realize that these challenges are just a test to our lives. Tests given by God for us to become better and stronger persons.

Like me, my saty here in the Philippines have given me many challenges. But I only consider them as the challenges that I need to have in order for me to learn.

First, I left my whole family in Korea to have my education here. Second, I have a number of Korean friends whom I have left for this. Last, I am in need to handle different adjustments in terms of culture and traditions here in the Philippines.

But still, I feel well because I know that these are only tests and challenges to me.
