"BLOCK 101 A HOME OF STRONG, UNDEFEATED UNITY" by: Madielyn Faye B. Medina



Having graduated from different schools and institutions, high school life had been one of the most cherished memories we kept as we step towards the entirely different world of college. Choosing and entering Adamson Universtiy for the first time is one of those events in our lives that we'll surely treasure. Each one of us came from various schools and many thoughts had been in our minds as we started our first year of in college. Most of us are almost shaking when we entered our first classroom. I was sure that we were all beginning to imagine the different facial expressions we wore upon our arrival; the people whom we'll spend our days, including the professors; and thought that we'll just ignore and will not even bother talking to each other. Ironically, everyone are very accomodating--making new friends at a short time span. We realized that we've been a part of each other. It didn't take us long to mingle with each other as one UNITED BLOCK. Each of us were so friendly and we couldnt believe that we're actually beginning to interact with one another. As days passed by continuing to venture with one another, we learned a lot of things from people we used to get along with. We learned how to value friendship, loyalty, honesty, hardwork, faith and most of all UNITY. Each of us must admit that we're not really good when it comes to making friends and understanding each other; we had contributed for a change of each of us not for the worst, but for the best. A class that is full of hesitation before is now a united section wherein each of us freely expresses ourselves--mainly cracking jokes to anyone. From these changes, we are to call ourselves whole beacuse each of us were there to suopport each other. We interacted with lots of different people and making friends along the way. We would never forget the laughter we had together, the memorable moments we shared and enjoyed, and even the times of petty bickering we encountered, which resulted to our more intimate and harmonious relationship. We learned to be humble; accept victory with humility, and determination in times of defeat. Each of us had been confident and learned to trust each others' skills and abilities, that's why there had been no reasons why we cannot take it to account our duties and responsibilities effectively. It's been only the beginning yet we had already ventured with full of shared dreams and painful trials and unforgettable happy moments which we could not deny We also had been overpowered for several times, yet were proud to recount--we rose up against our weaknesses and learned from our mistakes. Lastly, one ONE BLOCK: we accepted each one of us not for what each can be, but for who really we are. We laughed each other not because we're forced to do so, but because we felt the joy and happiness from each one of us. We fought the obstacles together not because we wanted to win but because we want to share our talents to others. We cried together during difficult times not because we have to, but because we have built a STRONG, UNRUINED, and UNDEFEATED BONDING and UNITY. These memories will be whole-heartedly cherished in our hearts and these are the building blocks that we mostly used to be "WHOLE and UNITED" and to be well-rounded and productive Adamsonians; its been special and worthy what it's like to be us.......
