(OPINION) SAN BEDA UNIVERSITY was a school that I never dreamed of. I remembered once when I felt devastated that I couldn’t continue my dream of pursuing Political Science in the University of Santo Tomas, where I took up Humanities and Social Sciences in Senior High School. But looking back at the four-year adventure in the red school of Mendiola, I will say that this unplanned choice is the best one that I have ever made in my whole life.

(OPINION) AS I STAND on the threshold of graduation, bidding farewell to the community that has shaped me over the past four years, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and nostalgia.
