We had brought officers from the Philippine Navy to teach us important skills and tips should we encounter emergency situations.

The few weeks of this short course had exposed me to new and complex ideas that surround sustainability. Likewise, it taught me the importance of SDG 11 for our country as we are still focusing on unsustainable practices. Overall, I learned that achieving a sustainable society in the Philippines may be unattainable in my lifetime but it is still worth working on.

At first, I was a bit unenthusiastic about these tasks but as I slowly finished my tasks I learned about the current situation of our agriculture sector - specifically, the struggles of our farmers and fishers. It was concerning how they weren’t fully supported by our national government and some only received meager support. This is why I want to pursue SDG 16 to enable each Filipino and to ensure fairness in our country.]]> 2021-10-30 07:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/1855213815 ECOSEM arielleleyva99 https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/1855221662 My ECOSEM courses made me realize my passion for Labor Economics and my advocacy for SDG 8. My frosh year was a harrowing time for me as I was still grappling with the basics of Economics. I shifted from one topic to another because I can’t really find any interests. It was Dr. Largoza who stopped me from overthinking and urged me to pursue the topic I initially started with - structural unemployment. Researching on this topic had me thinking that our country is in dire need of some structured education.

It was a bit regrettable that we weren’t able to get a 4.0 for our THS2ECO but I still believe our topic has strong potential. Our study works well under SDG 8 as a performance indicator as we measure labor productivity on a micro-level which is an insightful measure as we were able to consider individual characteristics of workers.]]> 2021-10-30 07:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/1855222135 My Lasallian Journey arielleleyva99 https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/1857409798 This padlet highlights the milestones I had in the 3 years of being a La Sallian. 

As I look back, I realized that I am thankful for this experience - and people - as it helped me shape my mind and strengthen my resolve. Still, I cannot deny that there are lingering regrets for the things I wasn't able to do.

Back then, I only thought of stepping outside of my comfort zone and I didn’t realize if I was really ready to take such a leap. In the end, I sort of regret it as I feel guilty that I feel that I didn’t give my full strength in teaching the participants. By the end of the session, I realized taking calculated steps is not such a bad idea as we are able to gauge our strengths and weaknesses.

I was able to test my leadership skills as I was given the opportunity to teach junior officers as well as to test my capabilities as a student-leader. ]]> 2021-11-05 23:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/1870936675 Baby Dragons https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/1870941394 This is the first barkada I made in DLSU. They had been with me through my lowests and had cheered me on for my accomplishments. When I entered DLSU, I had my fears and one of which was being left behind. But, Hannah broke this fear down on the very first day of LPEP and since then she introduced me to every single one of our barkada. Until now, even with the pandemic, we still continue to talk - though seldomly - about classes, plans, fears, and teas (of course).

Joining ROTC has always been my plan because I wanted to follow my father’s footsteps. But, what I hadn’t expected was that it was an arduous path. The 1 year I had my ROTC had pushed my mental and physical well-being pushing me to prioritize my academics over pursuing an officership with them. But this has taught me the importance of strengthening our overall well-being to shoulder through the challenges in our lives which urged me to pick SDG 3 as one of my advocacies.

We started as group mates for our thesis since we were in the same program. Then we had the same classes where we grouped for team projects. Then somewhere along the numerous zoom meetings, we grew closer and understood each other better. Since then, they have undeniably become a source of support for me - they had pushed me to work even when I was so unmotivated and had eased up the burden I carry.

My batchmates and I were promoted to 4th class which essentially was an officer-in-training. Upon our promotion, we were taught how to instruct our fellow cadets as well as to the basics of each battalion’s specialization.

We thought that this may be a good opportunity for us to expand our experience and, at the same time, accomplish something outside of our academic goals. The Gcash case competition focuses on financial inclusion in the Philippines. We were subjected to two cases study - though similar in the nature of the problem - wherein we are tasked to propose solutions using or expanding the services offered by the company. The competition was fun to work on and it made me realize my strong and weak points as an individual and a member of a group. Though the goal of the competition isn’t aligned with my advocacies, the competition was still enlightening and has taught me valuable lessons. ]]> 2022-01-29 02:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/2018837725 My Non-negotiable Values arielleleyva99 https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/2022865329 2022-02-01 08:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dlsu_soe_mzer/m5jgdg6jadp7p9qh/wish/2022865329
