A Commendation for COM21 to Hear

Generally, as AB Communication Arts students, we are perceived inside the university as beauty and beauty alone. We sport the skinniest skinny jeans, the ever brightly coloured high-heeled shoes and the fashion that really has a sense.

There is nothing really wrong with it. However, more than that, we sport no brains according to them. It was echoed by Sir Mark a semester ago when he was supposed to introduce Performing Arts.

However, despite that, I guess I am fortunate to be with the brainy COM students. I cannot really speak outside my block because I cannot assess them, like what almost everyone is doing, by looks. I haven’t seen them inside the class. I have not really read their works or heard them really speak. However, with my blockmates, we are together for almost two years.

First year, second sem, during our Eng101, Sir Ibasco told us that we write pretty well. He even asked if we really want to be in COM or better yet, shift to JOU. This was second by Ms. Cachuela in our Journalism class. She said some of us really do write well. On the other hand, just recently, Ms. Valera’s claim was bigger. She said most are good writers.

On my part, I can testify to that. I’ve been my blockmates’ blog reader. And sometimes, really, they suck blood out of my nose.

So we thought that we ace the writing field alone? Nope. We all very well know that according to Ms. Matilla, so far, we are her best Speech students (that is, of course with some of our Jou classmates, Management and IT.) She claimed that the institution will be proud of us when we graduate.

Best of all, amidst that, according to Sir Ibasco, the class is humble.

I don’t really know why I am writing this. I guess, it boosts me to hear such praises. I can pretty much argue with them intelligently and they really have a say. Or more so, I guess, I am just grateful that among the many COM students out there, outside the block, outside the university, among all COM students in this country, I am part of DLSU- D’s COM21 (the next is 31…41…batch 2010)
