My third year in college was a rip. It wasn't the easiest part of my life--we had so many things to do and had so little time (there hasn't been much change 'til now, actually but that's okay. I kind of have gotten used to it). And I am just overwhelmingly glad that our efforts paid off for the paper that we did (in a span of a hurried 2-week duration) as a requirement in our Philippine Linguistics class. Last August 6-8, me and some of my batchmates were able to go to Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental to attend the National Conference in English Language and Literature in order to present our papers. Being the only student participants of the said event, we kind of felt a certain amount of pressure being amongst professionals from different schools and universities. However, as what Ma'am Lynnie has taught us in achieving success, GRIT was the key, and we were able to pull through in one piece. It is also very overwhelming and humbling for the praises and encouragement that came from our very much respected teachers and mentors, and even the institute's chancellor himself! Just...holy guacamole!
