My First Love (Oh, how I wish I were talking about a person.)
The University of the Philippines Circle of Landscape Architecture Students, more commonly known as UPCLAS, is the first organization I joined when i entered the UP College of Architecture. I’m not quite sure what made me want to join—fate, maybe? But I did; I wanted to be part of the organization so badly. I remember crying the night before our Formal Interview because I was so afraid I was gonna fail and not get into the org. But I passed; and even got a position of Finance Committee Head during my second year and the Secretary this academic year.
It was here that i found my family, my home. And I couldn’t thank God enough for giving me everything I needed—all in one group of the most crazy, fun, and loving people I will probably ever know. We may have been through our ups and downs, but we got past all that; and here we all are now, still standing.
Next year is UPCLAS’ Silver Anniversary, and my co-officers and I want nothing else but the best for UPCLAS. So we’re striving really hard to give next year’s Executive Committee Officers the best way to start the year, whilst making this year the best—our best—too. UPCLAS was and always will be my first love. ♥ I just cannot wait for more years with you, UPCLAS! UPCLAS Pataas!
