Happy 100th birthday, UP!
Filed under celebrations, events
While most people say their high school memories are their dearest, I remember my college years more fondly.
I started living on my own and began spreading my wings, so to speak. I found out that the world was so much bigger and that I had barely seen even a speck of it.
I was taught by the best, who remain my measuring sticks to this day. I found myself being around people I could connect with, who encouraged my individuality, and pushed me and inspired me all at the same time. I felt I belonged from the day I first set foot on the campus. I found my home.
I can say going to Diliman was the best decision I ever made. The university shaped me more than words can ever describe. I hope that someday, I can give back to it and make it proud of me.
Happy Centennial, University of the Philippines!
P.S.
I tried making a slideshow of my college photos, but Multiply and Photobucket are not with me on the idea. I fail. That photo of the Oblation should do for now. ![]()
