Bayan committee ignites!

Recently in my Bayan class we had a group discussion on the "elephant" of the class. It was a constructive period where I believe the Filipino values of kapwa and hiya were involved, while there was alot of emotion stirred it was also an eye opener. Hopefuly the student realized that the entire part of lecture was solely dedicated to his well being. The class period was spent on not trying to put the student on the hot spot but help him realize that college life requires commitment, especially since the class includes the pressures of working in daily group activities which means working together as a team. 

What I got out of class that day was the reality of the Bayan community, it's all about working together and pushing each other to succeed, meaning constructive cristism and acting as adults instead of talking behind ones back and automatically labeling one as the black sheep. I wish well for this student and I know that after that class period he will be more determined then ever to prove his fellow Bayan wrong and get on track. I know, he knows he's capable of doing it but the rest is on him. Best of Luck my Brotha.
