FOUNDER'S LEGACY
Dr. Abundio P. Palencia, Sr.
June 2013 - Oct. 2013
cont...Isn't it a beauty to see OLLCF having a big room for improvement? With a huge land area, physical development is not an issue. There's enough space for new buildings that can help in providing broader services for excellence. The problems of the lack of classrooms because of conflicts on schedule will be solved if the physical development is given enough consideration.
Isn't it a beauty that in OLLCF, a student leader of highest position is elected for two consecutive years? I think this shows the unity of the student. They believe that this individual is capable of leading the Lourdenians and can make their voice be heard by the administration. There are a lot of improvements in activities and events management during his tenure.
I believe a little more effort from the SSC is needed to hear what the majority of the students are asking, complaining or even requesting for. School activities, events and parties are not the only things that they should give focus into. But rather pay more attention on the sentiments of the students regarding the school's facilities and other services.
Isn't it a beauty that in OLLCF, we meet new instructors every semester? New faces mean new knowledge and new friendship. With the addition or replacement of new instructors change is inevitable. Change comes in two ways: for the better or for worst. And I hope this is for the better.
Isn't it a beauty that in OLLCF, you can see the determination of the student to learn?
I can always see the determination of students for education, especially furing enrolment. They don't mind the long lines that they have to go through just to enrol in this noble institutio. They may need to line up in different offices just to complete the process. After some complaints and wasted time, at the end of the day they are still happy that they made it through. That's the spirit of a good student. Against all odds, no one can hinder the determination of a student striving for education.
Isn't it a beauty that in OLLCF students and every department conduct outreach programs, tree planting and/or gift giving actitvities? I beleive this shows the willingness of each and every one of them to extend help and happiness to other people.
In line with the school's mission of seeking total development and formation of the Filipino youth, these activities provide a chance for the students to develop the social and emotional aspects of their individuality. Thus, I am hoping for a little more support from the school.
It would take a novel to write all the things that make Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation beautiful. There are so many things to tell but for now, I hope that I made my point to my readers. It's more fun in OLLCF, isn't it?
