you.. have a point.
–from an incoming 2009 JGSOM student.

ATENEO VS. UP

ofcourse. before i took the UPCAT && ACET. i was thinking of getting to UP once i passed or.. whichever.. when the results came.. i passed both ACET && UPCAT.. i then went to the stage of.. confusion..

there were endless nights.. && countless conversations between me && my parents. ofcourse they favored me being in UP. because.. i will be an ‘ISKOLAR’ ng bayan there.. whereas in ADMU.. i have ‘FEES’ && definitely not an ISKOLAR. lmao.

but the idea of being an atenean excited me kasi they were sending stuffs that entice you.. (eg. newspapers, journals, kits).
so there.. i enrolled in ADMU && the campus is so enticing..

with all the security guards && facilities.. you are definitely pampered. so i get your point. you can’t get in ateneo if you can’t afford it rin di ba? hmm. the diversity of the population really makes a difference in your formation. i guess you are right.. coming from a science high school where we were all scholars && the student population is composed of kids from different lifestyles.. i get your point..

i was studying in private schools since i was 4 until i was 12. && being in a public science highschool. it made an impact on my personality. (AMEN to that).

hmm. since i am already enrolled in admu. now let us see things FROM THE HILL the ignatian way. i guess. it does not matter ‘WHEN’ .. you go down the hill or up the hill.. important thing is.. you must try getting your feet everywhere.. wherever part of the hill that is.

it is a good thing that you went to UP..
staying won’t teach one anything.

A well-versed article such as this shows that at least in the academe, the Ateneo is still doing a good job. Coming from the AGS and AHS, I can say that’s one of the good things Ateneo has left me with; it trains its students in sapienta et eloquentia (wisdom and eloquence).

As for the values, I made the choice to go to UP for college in order to, as they say, experience “the real world”. Though you still might find some pretention in UP (every school has its share), there is still the fact that in this university, what matters is not your background, but how hard you work and what kind of person you are. Here, you find the true testing ground for whether the values you’ve been formed with in your early years will still stick to you. You’ll eventually discover if you really have what it takes to LIVE OUT your ideologies, and not just memorize them like morning prayers.

Keep up the good writing!

Hmmm… a certain loss for the Ateneo spirit. It is ironic to say ‘no comment’ coz this is a comment box, but… no comment. Haha. Cheers!

kudos to you man.. soul-searching.. i like it.. even though i’m only from kostka, i do share your ideas.. like your alma mater, beda thought me well to serve others, on our own initiative.. not because it is warranted from us.. but because we have the social obligation that we owe something to others that we were not fully aware of!
