Micah Justine Tampil of class 2018 graduated Cum Laude in BA Communication Arts in UPLB. Her interest in journalism inspired her to take up a degree in Communication Arts, and her passion and hard work resulted in her achievement of a Latin honor. She is currently working as Account Officer in UTP Beyond Borders in Bonifacio Global City.
During her stay as a student in the university, she realized that she needs to serve the nation because according to her, “if [I] won’t, who would?” She also learned to firmly make a stand, and she found out that critical thinking is a crucial part of education. And as a student, she met a lot of people that she considers as her closest friends even now.
In addition, she also shared that the greatest challenge that she faced in UPLB is the “pressure to be excellent.” Since it is well-known that Honor and Excellence are the innate values in UP, I think Micah is not the only one who feels the pressure of being excellent. I think most of us feel this way.
Let the university education do its work in you. Learn what has to be learned and unlearn what should be unlearned. It’s okay to realize and admit that you were wrong.
