Eleven Years of Growth Editor’s Note
I
was ten when I first wrote an article for a journalism competition. Months prior, I sat in a classroom waiting for our math teacher to discuss about finding the area of plane figures. In a four-corner room filled by a certain ratio of boys and girls, who would expect that instead of calculations, our teacher would introduce us to a journalism contest. Journalism. It was alien to me. Yet, not long after, I found myself on a stage being awarded first place for Editorial Writing Filipino. Claps roared from the crowed, shouts echoed from my classmates, but above all, a proud look from the same math teacher who became my first journalism adviser. Eleven years ago, that 10 year-old boy’s journey in the world of journalism
made him grow. He witnessed the transitions that happened to himself and his surroundings. There were ups and downs, but he continue to grow and understand inevitable changes. In this issue, we wanted to produce stories of change and growth; to write about the journey that happened in-between and how we progress as catalysts of truth, knowledge, and wisdom. As the eyes of history watch us, The Dolphin expresses our gratitude to our readers. We offer you our latest collaboration. On this issue, we have written stories of “Transitions” – a period of struggles, of possibilities, of hope. On my eleventh year, I realized that it was not all about me. I grew because of my journalism family.
