FINAL ROUND

Finally we are done! After the series of colloquia, I could say that I personally learned a lot of things. It’s really a great experience for all of us not only for me. Inviting different people from different fields as speakers is really a hard job I’m happy that we surpassed all the colloquia with a learning experience. It helped me gained a lot of knowledge not only about our course but also in different fields that we haven’t exposed with. The topic that I and Archie chose was medicine; it really took us time to convince guests because medicine practitioners are really busy in the hospital but thanks our beloved guest Mrs. Michelle Valevieso for accepting our invitation and humbly imparting us knowledge about her profession. I also learned something from the field of health and beauty, literature, campus journalism, media and politics, fashion and entertainment, business, philosophy education, sports, and military.
We have also learned how to make the colloquium possible despite of the shortcomings; It’s just like in production, I must confess that before I thought that conducting colloquium is not as fun as in production but I was wrong because we also enjoyed producing series of colloquium..
Allow me to take this chance to thank our dearest teacher Mrs. Virginia Bautista for always making us active and helping us develop our hidden skills and talents that we may use in our future careers . Although we keep on complaining among our teachers she’s only the one who always gives us challenges and exposures but in the end we realized that challenges are more helpful than just sitting pretty inside the classroom and not learning anything. My parents are really proud of me now; they admit that they were wrong when they said that I’ve chosen a wrong course. But look at them now they support me in all times.
The series of colloquium were indeed successful. But I jut like to comment on the venue. I suggest if there will be colloquium next year, students should be given enough time and preparation to avoid shortcomings.
Some colloquium also turned out to be so boring I think it would be better if the colloquium will be done in a lively manner not just a question and answer portion thing… And its best if there are many audiences that will also participate in the discussion so the invited speakers will be inspired in talking not just the class.
