Being an Adamsonian student, social
awareness and responsibility is embedded to their identity. They were trained
and equipped with knowledge regarding about the environment and to be vigilant
individuals. Also they are concerned with the issues revolving around the
world. Every day, a person who feels bad about themselves, just keeps it on
their own. They do not tell anyone unless it’s that bad instead, they just hope
it just goes away by whatever solution they can think of whether it is sleep,
medication, or food. It’s like this, wakingup and going to your usual routine
and then before you can get to the middle it hits you. It makes you feel
vulnerable on the inside but you have to be a tough outside. When you go to
school, it get even worse. You are piled with work that you can think you
cannot finish. When you find a way to escape your loneliness, it goes downhill.
Within the social realm, consciousness and awareness in the
society are still embedded with the Vincentian identity: the 3C’s.
Charity.The
spirit of Adamsonians embodies the personality of being a helpful student to
their fellowmen. With the great teachings of St. Vincent De Paul, his influence
are still engaged to their student life and spread the acts and deeds of their
patron saint not just within the campus vicinity itself, but also to the
community.
Character. With
the personalities and character of each students in the university, they pay
respect to one’s personal space and try to engage empathy and within the society.Adamsonians
are more likely to be approachable in times of glory and troubles.
Competence. Adamsonians
are also known for bravery and resiliency. Faith with the God Almighty plays as
a reminder that every problems and struggles that one Adamsonian faces will
eventually surpass. Students have their own way on fighting each one of their
struggles. When life is somehow dragging them down, they still manage to get up
and continue the work of life.
In connection with the social awareness, the Adamson University
Student Government (AUSG) launched an advocacy that tackles about the Mental
Awareness Month entitled, “How are you today’’: that talks about how
Adamsonians cope up with their struggles regarding anything about their going
through. The Student Government created a freedom wall to let the students
write down all their thoughts, problems, and grievances they are encountering
today. Also, students are also encourage to write advices and uplifting
messages to help other struggling Adamsonians.
With this, the student body decided to establish an organization
that deals with mental health named the Adamson University Semi-colon Society,
which promotes the human are sensitive type of beings that are able to feel
emotions. Sometimes these emotions can affect one’s wholeness as a human being.
Truly an Adamsonian embodies the 3C’s of the institution,
either if it is an academic or social problem. Its not doing your best in
fighting your inner demons means progress. It actually helps you to be stronger,
tougher, and braver. There are times it will be inconsistent for you to fight
for your own happiness but as longs as you held onto it, there is a way out.
