After listening in our class discussion about the globalizing world and multiple factors of proximal processes; I can’t help but reminiscence of the simpler times ie. the start of my Ateneo journey. Brought into a block of local schools, foreigners and international students, this variety of people shows the potential of what and how “The Ateneo life” could be. From my adventures with my block barkada towards the joint study sessions for the Math 21 Midterms and Finals. Through the 1st sem, these people has shaped my understanding of what it means to be a Atenean.
