My Journey in MSU

 

Living here in MSU is not that always easy. There are many times I have experience aches, problems that makes me down. Lack of financial aspect sometimes force me to quit. Family problems makes me weak. But thanks be to God, he never fails to guide me all the days of my life!

My journey began as a completely oblivious high school student. Unaware of what college would bring, I decided to go to Marawi City and chose to attend the Mindanao State University for I know that this university will train and mold me as a better person. When I came here, I found my place in the department of Marketing and began to appreciate what would life could bring. In this department, I started dreaming big dreams. I found myself aiming higher despite of ups and downs that I have encountered. 

I have a lot of experience here in MSU. I really feel that without God in my life, I can’t continue my studies. Many times, my parents told me that I should stop my studies because we don’t have enough money to sustain all my expenses. But still I continue my studying because I know that there is a solution for every problems. To support my studies, I sold banana delight, yema, chocoballs, and cosmetic products and even involve networking business. Even if it is very difficult to earn for a living at the same time studying my lessons, yet I manage my time wisely and work so hard to achieve my goals.

Once, I heard my instructor said, “"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure." I have always believed in, and following it, I have thrived and grown into a confident and determined being.My love affair with challenges has never come to a stop, and I believe it never will. I believe that welcoming challenges has played an important role in shaping my self-esteem. Being an obligated student, and above all a responsible family member has been no less than a challenge, but today I stand proud of myself for achieving this challenge. Since the beginning, I had a desire to learn and become someone extraordinary. Being a dreamer, I always planned on becoming a lot of things since childhood. When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher, a singer, a doctor, a business woman and a television broadcaster altogether. But as I grew old I realized that life is too short to become all of it, and that I should focus on one thing I was passionate about. Now, I wanted to be a successful entrepreneur someday, and I know that this is my greatest strength.  So I began selling products and get involved in any kind of business activities and that journey still hasn't ended.

My co-members in Apostolic Youth Campus Ministry (AYCM) are the persons who never stop helping me whenever I need helped. They are Grace, Ate Joy, Ate Beth, Ate Gracel, Jane, Danica, Che2x, Bebe, Lynlyn, Elbeth, Ate Ellen, Jun2x, Habib, Mia, Kuya Jomar, Kuya Jofel, Don2x, Mac2x, Joao, Jimboy, Gong2x, Kiking, Aljie, Joy2x, and Ate Jinky.   We intercede in the Golf Course or at the back of the Main Library to worship God. Whenever we have vacant times also, we decided to have lunch out, playing slipper games, bahug-bahugan, and dakpanay. We really enjoy playing them even if those games are bataot. After all, they are my true friends who are always in my side to make me feel that I am not alone. Because of them, I grow mentally, emotionally, socially and most of all spiritually. Whenever I also commit mistakes, they are the ones who give me reproaches. And I really thank God that he gave me this kind of friends who are always in my side whatever may happens.

These just are just a glimpse of my experience here in MSU but I want to share this thought: whatever circumstance that may come in your life, NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP! Believe in God and believe in yourself. Remember, failure is not the result of your circumstance but rather it is the time to decide whether you will go on or you will quit. You may look like defeated but that will never be a reality because you are heading to the top. God is working! Only believe!

DG's Manokan Express: A Green Food Establishment

Green Marketing is one of the most important aspect that a certain business should have. It is an approach where a business establishment promote its care and responsibility for the environment and creating a relationship with their target markets. Green marketing companies seek to go above and beyond traditional marketing by promoting environmental core values in the hope that consumers will associate these values with their company or brand. Engaging in these sustainable activities can lead to creating a new product line that caters to a new target market. That's why, last August 27, 2014, my group mates and I went to 5th street, MSU, Marawi City to find a food establishment that would accept our offer to prevent students from using plastic bags and begin using plastic wares or even bags. Because in our present world, we can see that our environment begun to deteriorate due to improper disposal of garbage and not caring for our environment. Using plastic bags also are made of toxic chemicals that could harm our health and environment. It cannot only harm the human body but also to the water, air and soil where other lives reside.

So, the group decided to have an agreement between the owner of DG's Manokan Express in 5th street and we thank God that she respond to our offer. We decided that the group will give P1.00 discount to the first ten customer who will buy their food products everyday. As a result, more customers patronize their products bringing plastic wares instead of cellophane. And we are hoping that even in this single step, we can share and promote how important it is to care for our environment. Let's do our best for the better! Let's do it for the people of tomorrow! Let's help our environment clean and green!

Plastic bags are among the items that are non-biodegradable. This means that they are not biodegraded or, in simpler terms, do not decay. Do you know that it takes thousands of years before one plastic bag can turn into small particles? Yes, that’s how long for plastic bags to vanish from our planet, Earth. - See more at: http://www.greenlivingbees.com/plastic-bags-pollution-effects-and-solutions/#sthash.hfcGTTL8.dpuf

Plastic bags are made of various chemicals which are mainly toxic. That is certainly very harmful to the health and the environment. The chemicals used to make plastic bags are xylene, ethylene oxide and benzene. These are toxic chemicals that are sources of various diseases as well as disorders in humans. They do not only provide negative effects on the health of people and animals but also to the air. These chemicals can pollute the air too which again harm the living organisms. They will not only affect humans and animals but also plants, water and air. - See more at: http://www.greenlivingbees.com/plastic-bags-pollution-effects-and-solutions/#sthash.hfcGTTL8.dpuf

CBAA hosted the Musical Extravaganza 2014

Last August 29 2014, Mindanao State University- Main Campus organized a Musical Extravaganza held at ILS gymnasium. It is being made yearly  to showcase different talents of the students from the respective colleges of the University. The event was hosted by the College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) especially the Department of Entrepreneurial- Marketing where they did their best and collaborate for the success of this event. The Department of Marketing was assigned also in decorating the hall, preparing the program and technicalities to make the event very successful. Jollibee, Red Ribbon, Tita Fannies, JECOs, MS Events, Boardwalk and Greenwich sponsored also the said event.

In the morning, different performance are being showcased by the students in the battle of talent in Vocal Solo English and Instrumental. They gave their best just to make their respective colleges proud and be the winner. As a result, all the people in the hall really appreciate their performance. In the afternoon, on the said day, it was started by the performance of the battle of Vocal Solo Tagalog. It was really enjoyable because all the contestants did great in their singing. I was amazed by the contestant from the College of Social Sciences and Humanities when she sang the song entitled, "Ulan". She really have a beautiful voice and she really performed well in front of the multitudes. Her facial expression is so great and made the people mesmerized by her voice. The contestant also from the College of Business Administration and Accountancy did a very great job in singing and make the college really gratified. After the Vocal Solo- Tagalog, Vocal Duet had started and it was followed by Acapella, faculty singing competition and Impersonation. It was a very tiring day for all the students but still they felt fulfillment and satisfaction in spite of the efforts they have exerted for the competition.

Two thumbs up for all the contestants and students who participated the said competition.Congratulations to all the winners! Congratulations to the College of Business Administration and Accountancy who became the the title holder of all the competitions in the Foundation Day! You really did a great job!
