TOPNOTCHERMARGA LAUREL

By Jewel Wayne Anglo

“As a newly registered professional and incoming medical student, there will be new things to learn and experience. I am excited for these, and though there may be challenging moments, I know that I have been well-prepared for them. Thanks to the guidance and support I received during my time as an EDUC student, I am confident that I will have the skills to face anything in the next chapter of my life.”

Selfless is the word that Margareth Laurel describes the UST College of Education as it aims to produce professionals who are capable of improving the lives of others with our own system and specialization in every department we have. Outstanding performance in different licensure examinations, research achievements, and participation in international symposia are the reasons why Marga is proud to be an Education Alumni. The UST College of Education instills a love for service and being generous with one’s knowledge and skills.

The students from College of Education are notable for their passion for serving the community. When facing unanticipated challenges, students are resourceful and creative as they are eager to learn new ways to impr ove their skills and this is what Marga’s characteristics molded by the Education community. When she was in her freshman year, she participated in “Tanglaw: Mga Embahador ng Kolehiyo ng Edukasyon 2018” and was surprised that it was not the beauty pageant that she expected. She was grateful for this experience and it became a memorable one since they were challenged to present advocacies related to their programs and because of the said event, she began to appreciate her field even more. The passion that the Education students have during the advocacy presentation inspired her and boosted her to grab the opportunity to connect with the Education community. Everyone can look forward to several opportunities in your chosen fields and give back to the community by joining outreach activities.
