2010. I'm a freshman student at ATS. You're on sabbatical leave that time. I heard a lot about you from sophomores and seniors. I was told about their learning experiences in their hermeneutics class under you. Because of the stories and reflections I heard from them, I desired to experience the same. . . . 2011. A year after bumalik ka po ng ATS. Nung malaman po namin na magtuturo ka po ng New Testament Exegesis 2, we grabbed the opportunity and enrolled the course. I've tasted and seen what it means to be under your mentoring. You did not just taught us about technicalities and excellence. You've taught us to be dependent in the Holy Spirit and this lesson struck me most. . . . 2013. When I joined the theo forum, you took time to ask me how I am and prayed for me. You've encouraged me a lot. I will never forget that moment because you provided a non-judgmental space for me. I feel valued and accepted. And whenever we see each other at ATS, you always make your presence felt. You take time to catch up and pray for me when you're not busy. You are an epitome of excellence and character. You're one of my role models. 💚 . . . I cannot thank you enough for everything Ma'am Amanda. 💚 📷 Pastor Nanding Paunil . . #professoremeritus #atsprofessor #atslife #atsfamily #atscommunity #ats #atsph
