my NSTP experience

Tiring yet FUN!

            My expectations about NSTP before were indeed true…

Like just any other subject, NSTP started with lectures of its nature, what it is all about. But I do believe that talks without words are just nonsense … All that we had discussed must be applied, and that started the tiring yet fulfilling and fun NSTP adventure.

One best experience about NSTP is that we were given a chance to save mother earth in our own little way by just planting a tree at Malagos watershed areas.

The beginning of the community immersion started during the first semester to survey the location and to determine what project could help the community.

During the second semester whole new groups were made, since the whole BMLS first years were reshuffled and my old group mates were then distributed to different sections.  I was a former makakalikasan then became maka-Diyos.

Our location was changed and we started again and reviewed the previous reports on the site we’re assigned.  This semester got it all for one I should say … We did a lot of immersions, reports, reviews and lots and lots of stuffs, but on top of it our desire to provide the community of P-8 Malambuon a livelihood project, URBAN GARDENING.

We were able to equip ourselves with the confidence to gather funds to make the project visible in a way of donation envelopes and raffle tickets.

The busiest part of the project was the preparation for the seminar since it’s the start of the project implementation, the crucial part for if we fail, we have to start again from the beginning, and that would be another burden to our part, another obstacle to pass and graduate NSTP. But though unity and cooperation of the individuals we were satisfied and happy to the outcome of the seminar.

The reaction and response of the participants was very fulfilling especially when few of them actually told us these words… “THANK YOU!” It was worth a shot after all.

All our hard work and labor had produced wonderful fruits and were just so happy that a number of participants really made a lot of effort to make the project successful.
