ariellalisan.org – Homeward Bound

WHEN I first joined a national event, not so long ago, I have always been intimidated by participants from other regions, especially those from Luzon or those from big cities. That is but natural for a boy from a small and almost unknown province.

Later on, as we do tasks together, I realized that there wasn’t much difference. In fact, I felt like we from the provinces have richer experience.

Nowadays, I think it is a lot easier for the kids to get along with people from other places. The gap between them has been bridged by the internet. Most of the kids now have friendster accounts and most of them are updated with the latest hype. The internet appeared to be a homogenizing factor.

Assessing the attitudes of our students now, I can see that they have lesser inhibitions when it comes to mingling with other kids.

I wish I had known blogging when I was in high school.
