Wow! You made it to UPD! Congratulations, Iskolar ng Bayan!!! ^_^

I am sooo excited for you and what is to come in this next chapter! Studying in UP may not be an easy feat, but it will surely strengthen and prepare you for the many challenges you will face in the real world. And we are glad that you chose this community to journey with you!!! Know that no matter what happens, your Ates and Kuyas from ENC UPD will always be here to pray and believe for "God's best" in your college life (and beyond)! Stay strong and keep FAITH-ing!

We're rooting for you!!!

Yessss, this is your new home. We are your new home. Masaya kami na makilala ka at magjourney with you dito sa panibagong yugto ng buhay mo.

Kung dumating man yung mga oras na feel mo di ka enough, kulang ka, at di mo deserve dito sa campus na ito. Let me say this to you:

You are here for a reason and a purpose. Hindi mo kailangang sumabay sa talino at galing ng mga estudyante dito sa UP. Hindi mo kailangang patunayan na magaling ka. You are enough.

We are here to journey with you and endure sa trials na dala ng UP. We are here to celebrate with you in your triumphs and learnings.

We are here with you because there is Someone who is with us. :))

Fighting!!!

Welcome, bagong iskolar ng bayan!

Hi, freshie! Welcome to a very new and medyo scary season in your life :D

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YOU MADE IT TO UP WOOHOOO just breathe it all in. You're here. And you deserve to be. Most importantly, you are here to fulfill something that nobody else can. Your purpose here is yours and yours alone.

Not to scare you away, but there will be times when things get extra hard and you'll start to question who you are in all of this. When that time comes, remember that you are not alone. We're here for you. If you need an Ate or Kuya to talk to about the woes and the fruits of a UPD life, just hit any of us up and we'll be there to guide you on your journey!

There will also be times that you'll celebrate. You'll get that rare sense of clarity and purpose as you go through life as a student of the people. Hold onto those moments. Hold on to the people who love you. Love people! Get to know them enough to be vulnerable with them! you can't go through all of this alone. Trust me :D

I pray that you'll be anchored to what keeps you going. Sabi nga ni Miley Cyrus sa Hannah Montana the Movie:

"Life's a climb. But the view's great."

Kaya keep climbing! We're right there with you. <3
