MESSAGE TO THE TUA:

Lover’s bench, quadrangle, CAT encampment, batibot, intrams, foundation week, exchange students, competitions like sabayang pagbigkas, and other events and extracurricular activities – these are the things that come to my mind whenever I think of TUA. We experienced a very exciting and memorable way of learning. They allow students to directly engage in activities that foster learning, and they provide a quality of education that serves as a foundation for every student in the basic education.

Trinity University of Asia has honed me for who I am today. This will always be one of my homes and I will be forever grateful for all the learnings, experiences, and good memories that they gave me which I will treasure forever.

Thank you to my mentors, teachers, and friends who became part of my journey in Trinity.

Thank you, my beloved Trinity University of Asia! May you continue to inspire, guide, transform, and touch the lives of every Trinitian student.

I will always be a proud Trinitian.

INSPIRING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS:

During my stay in Trinity, I remember the time when we were preparing for the commencement exercise of the batch that was ahead of us. As a cadet trainee during that time, we were in charge of the entrance of colors. While we were practicing, I noticed that there were chairs in front that were intended for the graduates with honors. That’s the time that I told myself that I also wanted to sit in that specific area – and that’s what motivated me to pursue it in my last year in high school. It was a bumpy road and there were lots of demands that needed to be considered. But with perseverance, patience, hard work and support from people around you, you will be able to achieve your goals.

Little did I know that my experience in TUA was just the beginning. With the learning experiences, skills that were honed (including leadership skills), and mindset that were formed during my stay there will be utilized in college. I was able to bring that with me, helped me be involved in different organizations in the university and maintained my scholarship, which made me appreciate TUA more.

Right now, I am near the finish line of my graduate studies. I assure you, it will never be an easy road. There will come a time that you will feel exhausted, discouraged, unmotivated, and hopeless. That’s part of being a student. Recognize and acknowledge those negative emotions. Feel it for some time but don’t let it consume you. Stand again. Roll up your sleeves and be ready for the next challenge.

Always believe in yourself and focus on your goals. Also, surrounding yourself with people who support and motivate you will help you to succeed in life.

God bless, my fellow Trinitians! May you also discover the greatness that I saw and experienced in TUA.

The whole Trinity University of Asia community is very proud of you, Ms. Chellita!
