We often no longer bother to retain the information we've learned from our past classes once they are over, so being able to understand the meaning behind BIGKIS stands as a reminder for us to cherish these lessons we learn as we go through school (and in life) in order to not only become better versions of our past selves, but become better persons for others as well. ]]> 2021-08-26 13:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1698404382 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1699725085 The most important take-away that I got is that even though we are in the online setting and COVID is still a problem in the world. This should not stop us from trying to become better people and from helping out our fellow citizens as well. Through NSTP, we are able to improve ourselves and the situation of other people and by understanding the lessons we learn from this subject, we are able to keep this same mindset in our future.]]> 2021-08-27 01:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1699725085 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1699962672 Online classes and the ever-persistent COVID pandemic admittedly puts privileged students like me in a bubble. But problems like poverty don't stop for anything, not even a deadly virus. Wide-scale national issues are still prevalent, and we shouldn't let a mere screen block us off from interacting with our kapwa and striving to empathize and help them. I think that this module stresses the fact that even if our Bigkis experience won't be as exciting and as meaningful as an in-person one would be, we are all in this together to still make the most out of the time we have for this course.]]> 2021-08-27 03:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1699962672 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1700664806 The concepts and theories we learn on SocSci 13 are concretized through the Bigkis Program as we take action in helping the community. Through the program, our awareness of the conditions of the community around us is heightened and we are encouraged to take part in our roles and responsibilities in the community. ]]> 2021-08-27 12:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1700664806 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1701718056 I think that this particular semester gives us the opportunity to connect with citizens of the Philippines that are suffering due to various circumstances. In addition, through the integration of Bigkis and Socsci, I believe that we will be able to understand situations more deeply leading to the creation of positive solutions. I believe that this will give us the opportunity to be more empathetic and view the problems of society from a different set of lens.]]> 2021-08-28 04:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1701718056 justineolan https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1701862085 My biggest take-away from Module 0 is how despite being isolated in our homes and being trapped in our own bubble, we should still make a conscious effort to connect with those outside our circle especially with those who are less fortunate. We should use this opportunity to help others in the little ways that we can while growing in character and becoming a better person and citizen. ]]> 2021-08-28 09:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1701862085 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1701962583 My biggest takeaway is the purpose behind bigkis: where we now take our learnings from the past few years and work towards helping other communities. ]]> 2021-08-28 13:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1701962583 kristinesaycon https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1702709359 My greatest takeaway from the Bigkis Program Orientation is how this course will allow us to engage with our kapwa, understand their situations, and address the societal issues related to the sectors. This is also a great learning opportunity as we are expected to bring together and apply what we have learned from our social science and management courses. On top of that, Bigkis reminds us that as we strive to be professionals for-and-with others, we should not forget to take care of our well-being as well. ]]> 2021-08-29 14:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1702709359 ysabellelim1 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1703824496 One of my main takeaways from the orientation module so far would be that the online setting should not be a barrier for us, students, to connect with our kapwa and to deepen our understanding of the complexities and contexts of society. This we are able to actualize through our having subjects like SocSc and NSTP wherein we absorb both theoretical and practical knowledge and experiences. Plus, we also get to serve or aid our kapwa while doing so, Given this, we must strive to make the most out of such worthwhile experiences despite the current conditions.]]> 2021-08-30 05:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1703824496 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1704495549 one of my key takeaways from this module is that the online setting shouldn't limit our capabilities in helping our kapwa. We should be active in our service to helping our partner communities using what we've learned from our past engagements as well as what we'll eventually learn from the other subjects connected to NSTP.]]> 2021-08-30 13:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1704495549 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1704884218 My takeaway from Module 0 is that despite the current onset of the pandemic, we should still put in the effort to maintain interaction with others - not only those we know, but also others outside of those, such as our fellow citizens. NSTP would enable a greater understanding on parts towards these other people and how we might be able to assist them. ]]> 2021-08-30 16:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1704884218 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1706540829 The Bigkis orientation reminded me of the essence of NSTP despite the challenges of the online setting. My key takeaway is to maximize this experience because it serves as an opportunity to grow by understanding new perspectives and creating meaningful connections with our partner community. Moreover, Bigkis gives us the ability to practice the teachings and values that make us holistic beings, which I believe is the most important aspect of our education. ]]> 2021-08-31 07:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1706540829 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1706835096 Given grit and compassion to help our fellow countrymen and to be more aware of the situation around us, we should not simply fall into defeat due to the challenges the pandemic brings. As students of the Ateneo, it is of utmost importance for us to go through our NSTP programs to given its value in our human development. Despite being help online, I am excited to go through the program as I am certain we will still be able to gain much from doing so.

Applying what we learned from our classes, we realize that our responsibility goes beyond just ourselves but also for others. Addressing various societal issues by collaborating with them -- for them. ]]> 2021-09-01 02:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1708612641 carlodelacruz https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1712102688 My biggest takeaway from from this Orientation and from Module 0 as a whole is the opportunity Bigkis gives us It is rare for students to get a chance to apply school taught concepts in real life situations. We get to interact with a community once more and use all the lessons we got not just from this NSTP class but also the ones before it. Module 0 shows us that there are still a lot of ways interacting with different communities even in an online setting. There should be no excuses in providing help to those in needs because whether live or online there are ways we can uplift one another.]]> 2021-09-02 06:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1712102688 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716279579 Personally, Module 0 just shows that despite the circumstances, one can still be a positive transforming difference through the integration of Magis in our lifestyle. We can be more with less amidst the pandemic. It is only up to us.]]> 2021-09-04 02:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716279579 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716327292 One of my takeaways from this module is the importance of being able to connect to others and initiate change even as we are dealing with the pandemic and stuck at homes. This circumstance should not subject us to disconnecting with the world and abandoning others. ]]> 2021-09-04 03:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716327292 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716388096 My key takeaway from this module actually came from the whole purpose of Bigkis and the reason why it is in our IPS in the first place. I realized that we are NOT studying in ADMU just to LEARN about new things that could help us in our future careers, but, instead, we are also here to be transformed into men and women for others that APPLY the things we have learned and utilize them for the betterment of others and society as a whole. ]]> 2021-09-04 05:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716388096 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716417723 My Biggest takeaway is the meaning behind Bigkis as well as its purpose. Given the pandemic, we complain a lot about not being able to travel or order our favorite food. However, we forget that there are more people suffering. Bigkis brings us together by reminding us and spreading awareness about the people suffering as well as how to help the said people.]]> 2021-09-04 06:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716417723 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1716668091 The takeaway that I got was that although our circumstances force us to stay away from others, we should still make an effort to try and reach out to others anyway - especially as there are many who need our help now more than ever. NSTP allows us to understand and empathize with the situations of those people and help them.

But most importantly, we are exposed to real-life circumstances as we train to become persons-for-and-with-others. Thus, we'll be able to hone our critical thinking and practical skills, apply theoretical frameworks, and leave an impact on our partner communities with their local, social, and economic context in mind. ]]> 2021-09-07 17:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1722512695 https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1745890654 I think the essence of Module 0 is to make us understand how integral the Bigkis program is, not only to us but also to the community we are serving. It highlights how we are brought together to finally apply what we have learned as we are given the opportunity to contribute to the community—to understand, engage, and help our kapwa. ]]> 2021-09-16 13:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/oscils/s4hn79esvh3tjhac/wish/1745890654
