Spiritual Journey
by Grace Tambuon
Our nation is a Christian country devoted to Godly activities as well as respecting freedom. Why are there a lot of people in the Philippines still growing in faith? What kind of organizations are there to help them strengthen their spirituality, and how do they handle it?
San Sebastian College Recoletos de Cavite (SSC-R) is one of the schools which always provide the needs of students in their spiritual journey as a Christian. The school looks forward in helping them to develop their faith through the teachers and some of the priests, who are assigned to teach the Religion Education subjects, by giving a lot of effort to clearly deliver the instructions of God and to show what it means being a true Christian and teaching them to pray continually. SSC-R conducts a regular mass and most especially, piloting a recollection to restore and develop their faith in God.
And also, the students find themselves to have freedom of speech and the right to choose whether to participate or not in religious activities. They respect students’ beliefs, whether they are a Born Again, Iglesia Ni Cristo, Muslims, etc.

Imagine waking up every morning extra excited with the thought of attending a successful university as a part of your being. Just with the wide smiles from gate keepers before scanning your ID every time you enter the campus keeps you fueled to go on ready for the day. Guards who would also assist even with the simplest errand such as utilizing the elevator. And as you walk through the hallways, you wouldn’t help but to notice your schoolmates joyous aura showing how fulfilled they have been since day one and how enthusiastic they are for the next days to come.
Imagine having professors at every subject giving their best to keep you as knowledgeable as you should be and more. Who wouldn’t just educate, but also provide friends of wisdom and wit. Educators who would actually engage you to every lesson by enlightening you to every topic fraction by fraction.
Imagine having facilities more than equipped to help you with your chosen course with the guidance of your accommodating custodians. A college having an actual multimedia studio for Communication Arts, machineries for Engineering, functional hotel lounge for Human Resource, up-to-date and high end computers for Information Technology, and more operative laboratories for other offered courses.

How Do I Look?
by Grace Tambuon
In the early 70’s, San Sebastian College Recoletos de Cavite’s school uniform for girls are rather short and not conservative looking. Since we are in the Catholic school, undersized skirt is somewhat contradicting a ladylike appearance of a Filipina. But as time passed by, there have had a lot of changes in that matter; long sleeves/skirts are now implemented for the girls’ uniform with a modern style.
As the matter was settled, there was a time when the school suddenly changed the girls’ uniform in appearance which in some way did not fit their fashion style. Baste immediately listened to their voice and reverted to the most preferred one. It may not seem a very deep problem, but a dress reflects its wearer and the organization she is in.
Adhering Christianity is the strongest attribute of SSC-R. This in fact is a very high-end quality a student can get from a school. But hearing out the opinion of students even if it is a seemingly small issue is a very humble act and at the same time a very strong deed. A person once told me; “If you can be trusted with small things, then bigger blessings are coming” Same is true to an organization. If a school can hear out and solve direct problems, then surely it can decipher a much intricate difficulties up ahead.
