16. ―I learned that connection is very important!... Friends from
different universities and colleges in Metro Manila are really
important. It became easier for us to send letters of request
to the school because of them. Of course, it wasn’t always a
YES for us.‖
―Experience. Nothing beats our experience—travelling, how
to communicate with people, how to fake smiles when we
are totally exhausted, how to pretend that we are perfectly
fine, and especially how to handle problems within the
group.‖
-YNA

17. ―Personally, it was not easy than what I expected. First, scheduling with
the schools was hard because we had to cut classes and catching up
the lessons is extra work that made me more stressed. Second, the
distances of the schools were far and we need to ride public
transportation to save budget. In terms of inner factors, stress from
lack of time to study, rest, and join other organizations. This stress
changed me to be highly nervous temperament and easily gets
irritated.‖
―I believe the cooperative spirit among us is the most important
facilitator. In last semester, we realized that our working ability
improves when we work all together in one place or on one task. Most
of the time, we even went all together to the schools to give request
letters. What helped me reset my mind when I lost the passion to do
thesis is by watching other thesis mates working so hard. Now, it is
not boring for me to meet them and do thesis. We are helping each
other and we learn and grow from it even if there is temporary pain.‖
-CHANG HIE

18. ―Every step of the data gathering was an unforgettable experience. The
running of letters, hassles of commuting back and forth, scheduling
and conducting tests and interviews, meeting other deadlines and
exams, settling finances and doing revisions, exhausted and aching
parts of the body and even the mean students we encounter from
different schools. Dealing with these things made us stick with each
other and made us more knowledgeable of each others working ability
therefore knowing how to adjust.‖
― Personally, I think it made me a better person. I feel responsible and
flexible especially now that we are on our way through fourth year and
half way through this thesis. I feel committed to this group not only
because I started this with them but because I’ve come to know them
one by one. It made me mature in a way that I am starting to take
initiative for myself and being able to deal with people outside the
school.‖
-ELAI

19. ―Thesis data gathering was but a good blend of pain and joy.‖
―Going to universities and colleges was not at all easy—talking about the hassles
of commuting, the heat of the sun or the heavy pour of the rain, the huge and
weighty bags we carry. There was not a time when we did not go home
exhausted—legs and arms hurting, heads aching. Not to mention that time
when three of us were all sick. I hated the part that we had to skip classes. It
was very difficult to catch up with the lessons. There were also moments when
we argue over things and do not agree on some matters and have
misunderstandings. We reached that point that we have gotten into fights.‖
―What I really appreciate was it had glued us all the more, not just as thesis
mates but as friends. I have seen how each of us worked as individuals and as
a team. I have seen how it has allowed us to be more responsible, flexible,
and patient. I cannot think of a good english translation for the word but I
have seen ―saluhan‖ among us. What we did as a group was more than just
helping and supporting each other.‖
―I am thankful that though this thesis data gathering has cost us - physically and
most especially financially, it was a learning experience worth remembering
and sharing to others.‖
