A letter to my dream university...
Dear NORSU,
When was the last time I thought about you? Scratch that. Actually, when was the moment I ceased thinking of you? From the very first time I learned about your existence, you have never stopped running through my head.
I was in fourth grade when I heard about you. You were the talk of the barangay. An Amiohanon (that's what they call us, residents of Amio) had passed the Licensure Board Examination for Teachers. She was proud and full of gratitude for you. I asked her who you were. "She's my Alma Mater," she proclaimed. My young mind unquestionably couldn't comprehend. After many, many years, you never get old enough in their hearts to be addressed as something in the past. I've acknowledged that recently.
You've kept invading my mind since that day. You weren't aware of it, that's for sure. At that point, you became significant to me. You made me realize and look forward to my dream, my goal, and my passion. You must be great; my mind told me you are (and will always be). By then, I had set my heart on becoming "someone" significant with you as my alma mater.
As time flies, I hear about you more often. You didn't only produce teachers but also engineers, architects, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, police officers, and many more I lost count of. You exceed my young impressions. You don't only create excellence; you materialize it with accomplished quality and quantity.
I strived and set my pace to be able to stand on your premises, where my future lies. Today, I am joyful to start another chapter of my journey with you.
I'm sincerely afraid of making promises only to have them broken at the end, yet I will pledge with my heart and mind that, as your future alum, I will uphold myself as a true NORSUnian, your partner, your daughter, and your friend. My efforts will only be exhausted in actualizing your vision of becoming dynamic, competitive, and globally responsive. I will be a student who is open to how you'll structure me to be. Your teachings and ideas will reach the depths of my being; the changes in me will always be growth, not withering. I will take the mission into your hands and materialize it inside me as I become a future educator myself. Your core values will be a path that I will tread with reverence, not just in my concerns with you. I will take it wherever I go.
This will not be an easy journey, but with you as my "honored guide" and "lamp of wisdom," I will never give up. This I commit to you, my ever-dreamed-of and beloved NORSU.
Sincerely yours,
Miss Zen Elsa
