VolleyBall

Elisha Apostol

By Jewel Wayne Anglo

Her black-gold, black-white dream was granted. This dream was not just for the volleyball program but also the college programs offered by the Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas. Elisha Juliene Apostol was thankful that the offer of the coaching staff of the Golden Tigresses after two years was still present even if she declined it during her high school days. She anticipated the number of workloads and it made her grasp knowledge even more. Time management and being goal oriented helps her to continue and strive for the better. The founding anniversary of the College of Education is what Elisha looks forward to for the next academic years since she gained friends and played volleyball for her department. During this year’s founding anniversary, Elisha has a vital role in the events of the College as a flag bearer during the Kick-Off Parade and led the oath of sportsmanship and lighting of the torch for the EDUC SPORTS: Athleticism Towards Camaraderie.

When she stepped in the vicinity of UST, it was hard for her since the mode of learning was still online class. As a nutrition and dietetics student, she has no access to a kitchen since they are in bubble training. Blessed and thankful as she describes her life as a student of the College of Education considering professors that provide make-up classes for them to catch up in the lessons they left due to commitments in the sports they are into. Effective communication, being polite, and to compromise on the things she left behind is what she can do to be a successful student-athlete.
