Just a few days left and it’s totally over. Graduation is already fast approaching and many of us are already dying of waiting, wishing for the coming days to just fast-forward.

May you be graduating from high school or college, all of us should be ready to face challenges that might come our way. And speaking of challenges, Iloilo Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog has something to say about it.

Just recently, Mayor Mabilog challenged the graduating students particularly the youth leaders to initiate, act and make a change in their own lives and most importantly, to the society. These student leaders can make this happen by personally improving their lives as well actively participating in public reforms and performing as a watchdog of the government. Through this, these students could not only gain personal development but also, contribute to the betterment of the society as a whole.

And so eventhough you are not the student leader type, you can also initiate, act and make a change. Just do it in your own way. This should serve as a challenge.

She is currently taking up Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies, a fourth year student studying at the University of the Philippines Visayas. Hershey is also a youth who wants to initiate an action in people and effect change to the society in her own little and simple way. She wishes to use the learnings she has earned from studying her course in making this dream at least come into reality by promoting awareness and picking the attention of the people especially the youth. She believes that we can all do this. The YOUth in us can. :)
