Year 2 - Term 1!

The first week of second semester is done! I must say being now on the second year feels real and surreal at the same time because I can’t believe how time passed by. The new subjects that I am taking right now are fun, and I guess one way to enjoy it is these subjects really align with my interests. It makes studying feel less like a chore and more like something I look forward to. Of course, there’s still the challenge of adjusting to new professors, schedules, and workloads, but I think that’s part of the growth I’m excited about. I’m curious to see how the rest of the semester unfolds, and I just hope I can keep the same energy and motivation until the end.

Psychological Statistics First Meeting Done

The class is on the last period, but despite that, I really enjoyed it. It feels like it refreshes my mind on the topics that we also took back in senior high school. We just started, of course, first on the basics, but even then, it already gave me a sense of familiarity and comfort. It’s nice to realize that some concepts still stick with me, and I’m excited to build on them with new lessons.  This subject is really important, especially since understanding statistics will help me interpret data, analyze trends, and make better decisions when working with people in the future. I think this subject will challenge me in a good way, and hopefully, it can also sharpen my analytical skills for the career path I’m aiming for.

CAS STUDENT COUNCIL FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY

I just got home from our CAS Assembly today, and I must say, I really need to start adjusting again school will be back in just a few weeks, and everything is slowly starting to feel real. Attending the assembly reminded me how good it feels to be back at ISAT after such a long and refreshing break. It felt comforting to see familiar faces again and be surrounded by the energy of a new academic year. I genuinely appreciated the effort of the CAS Student Council as they discussed their planned programs and projects for the semester. Seeing their dedication made me feel relieved and more hopeful, and I’m truly rooting for their success in all the things they’ve prepared for us.

Counseling Demo in the Subject Skills for Helping Professionals

            Our counseling demo in Skills for Helping Professionals was a big step for me, not just academically, but personally. It gave me the chance to actually apply the skills we’ve been learning, and most importantly, to face my fears. I was really nervous, and at one point I even experienced a slight mental block. It felt like I was losing my words one by one, but thankfully, I was able to finish the demo.           What made this experience meaningful was the guidance and support of Ma’am Jover. Her feedback didn’t just help me improve my counseling skills, it also made me realize something deeper about myself. I’ve always struggled with shyness and holding back in class, but when she pointed it out, it became a turning point for me. Her words became a motivation to strive more, participate, and push myself beyond my comfort zone.           Even though I was nervous, I’m proud that I gave it my be...

Campus Tour

 August 6, 2024           While browsing through some old photos, I came across pictures from our campus tour. I remember that day clearly; I was shy, unsure of what to expect, and still adjusting to this new chapter of my life. Everything felt unfamiliar back then.           Looking back now, I realize how much has changed. Things are slowly unfolding, and I’m beginning to find my place. Choosing this course and studying at ISAT U has been a journey of growth, and seeing those early moments reminds me of how far I’ve come. What once felt uncertain is now turning into something meaningful.

          SR Pahampang was definitely one of the most enjoyable events. My favorite part was strolling around the campus, checking out the different booths and admiring their creative designs especially the food stalls, which offered a variety of treats to enjoy.           I also had a great time watching different events, but what really stood out to me was the chess tournament. As someone who loves playing chess, it was exciting to watch the matches and see the strategies unfold. It made the whole experience even more meaningful and memorable for me.

Pagbinais-Bais 3.0: Kusog sang Kababayin-an, Kusog sang Katilingban

          Watching the Pagbinais-Bais  was such a thrilling experience. Each topic presented made me think critically, and I found myself really engaged with the arguments on both sides. It wasn’t just about who's right or wrong, it was about understanding different perspectives and learning how to reason effectively.           What made it even more fun was the energy of the audience. Their reactions, cheers, and engagement added to the excitement and made the whole atmosphere lively and interactive. It wasn’t just a debate, it was an experience that challenged my thinking and made me appreciate the power of words and ideas.
