2/3
will interact. In a legitimately debatable topic, no side is
ever right or wrong. The winner will be
decided as to how they deliver their side as much logic as
possibleby judges decision or
audience vote, or by some combination of the two. Debating
brings out the intellect in people,
which I find desirable. Win or lose, as long as they debate
well, make my friends.
Fourth kind is sporty people. Sports, whether of physical, mind,
motorized, co-ordination,
animal supported, or electronic form, hypes me up. It brings
wellness to a person, making that

the 10th
National Science
Quest in Baguio City. I really enjoyed the event, and came up

tons of movies and mingled
with my schoolmates and friends. Time came when people started
to leave our hometown. They,
too, passed their universities and colleges. Some went to
Diliman and Manila UP campuses;
some went to Iligan City and Marawi; some stayed in my hometown,
Butuan City. A countless
few moved to Visayas, in Cebu, Dumaguete and Iloilo, and I am
one of them.
My mother and I went to Iloilo City to arrange my enrolment,
culture, dormitory
accommodation, and the like. I made friends and some impressions
about college life. One thing

best of what I can be. UP officials
and upperclassmen taught us the basics of UP. Classes started,
