CBSUA PVMGO: My Thoughts and

How I feel about it

Learning to accept and love a particular thing never happen in just a blink of an eye. It takes time and bunch of realizations from experiences for us to value and appreciate its significant. We don’t need to wait for this change to happen. Sometimes we have to ask ourselves “Am I the one who need to change?”

“Wherever we go we will meet imperfections.” This thought from Mam Dela Torre greatly touched my heart and slapped my soul from the reality that CBSUA is not perfect. All my perceptions and doubts about CBSUA suddenly conveyed the fact that I became blind for my expectations and criticisms. I set limitations for me to see the good side of this university. I set aside its recognitions, awards and efforts in uplifting its dignity and mark its own history with reputation. I feel bad realizing that I became bias for comparing my own University to other colleges in terms of its facilities and system. I used to be ashamed because I’m studying in an Agricultural School without recognizing its superiority in terms of industrial and agricultural advances. I became disappointed on the system because of the delays, low internet connection and a lot of fines. I feel bad going to Naga Centro wearing my school uniform and I used to compare this with other students without thinking that it depends on me on how to bring it with passion and pride. I admit that I used to hate my school without trying to love the part of it that no one claps for.

Realizing my fallacies lead me also in accepting my own imperfections. Every single moment here in CBSUA that were stacked on my memories suddenly flashed back on my well-being and I finally discover significant thing. I didn’t even think that it is because of CBSUA that I found and made a good friendship with my colleagues. It is only in CBSUA that I experienced embarrassing yet unforgettable moments that I can treasure and be part of me that no one can ever steal. Because of being a CBSUA student I experienced a lot of different things and interesting activities that only happened inside the university.

Understanding the PVMGO of our university is the key for better acceptance and learning. I admit that at first I’m just familiar on it without discerning why it is important for us and where it came from. Until I learn to teach my heart and tried to discover and understand it truly. Then a door opens me on the truth and reality. I am now enlightened, pretty sure and confident that Central Bicol State University of Agriculture is not just a university but a home of the well-developed students and a factory of well-equipped citizens that are globally competitive enough for the better future.
