2nd Year Journey

My college adventure begins at Collegio de Santa Teresa!

🎓 2nd Year Journey

In my second-year journey as an IT student, I experienced a lot of stress and challenges. There were many times when we had to submit projects and activities on short notice. My second year was also quite expensive because of the many requirements, contributions, and group expenses. Despite all of that, I am close to finishing my second year and moving on to my third year. As I prepare for third year, I am getting myself ready for the tasks and challenges ahead—especially in hardware and software, which are very important in the field of IT. It is essential to apply and understand how these technologies work and how they can help society. I am ready and excited for what's ahead, even though I know it will be stressful.

CPRO System

🤝 CPRO System

Why CPRO System? It all started during our first year when we were tasked to create a system individually. Although the project was meant to be done alone, we chose to work closely together so we could ask each other questions, share ideas, and help one another, since the systems assigned to us were quite difficult. Even though each of us had different projects, all of them were challenging, so we supported each other throughout the process.That was how our group was formed. We grew closer because we understood one another, shared the same sense of humor, and had no hard feelings or conflicts. Everything felt genuine, and together we created many happy memories.

🏠 Collab House Memories

After the first semester of our first year, the second semester came and we met another circle of friends. That was when Collab House was formed—by bringing our groups together. It was exciting because we had more people with us and got to build new friendships. We're thankful for them because they help and support us, and whenever someone needs company or assistance, we study together, work together, and accomplish our activities as a team.

IT WEEK AND INTRAMS WEEK

Survived with friends' help!

IT WIZARDS

IT Week and Intrams were some of the most enjoyable moments of our college life. From the beginning of the events until the end, everything was full of excitement, fun, and memorable experiences. We had the chance to participate in different activities, games, and competitions that allowed us to showcase our skills, talents, and teamwork. It was also a time for us to relax and take a break from academics, even just for a while.

What made it even more special was being able to enjoy those moments with friends and classmates. We laughed, cheered for each other, and created unforgettable memories together. IT Week and Intrams were not only fun, but they also strengthened our friendships and school spirit.

EXHIBIT 2026

E X H I B I T

Exhibit 2026 was a time when we felt extremely stressed and exhausted. Our project, called AGRIBOT, was designed to help with watering plants and assisting in planting for nature and agriculture. We were able to build the hardware to some extent, but we struggled a lot with the connections and coding—it was much harder than we expected.

We also ran short on time because many components were missing, so we had to go to places like Quiapo, Deeco, and other locations just to find the parts we needed. We managed to complete it, though it was far from perfect.

When presentation day came, unfortunately, the project did not work, and we felt defeated because it failed during the actual demonstration. Despite that, we were still recognized for not giving up easily and for showing up and presenting on the day itself. It taught us many valuable lessons, and most importantly, it became a meaningful experience for me and my groupmates.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

TERESA

School activities we do in Teresa involve many different tasks—sometimes individual, and sometimes by group. For example, during our final examinations every first and second semester, some require group presentations while others are done individually. One of the most enjoyable activities for me was when we created a film for our Contemporary subject. I really enjoyed that experience because we went to Intramuros and filmed a video about its history. Aside from that, we also worked on our film for Philippine Literature titled Barya Lang Po sa Umaga

Most of our activities are group-based to teach us how to collaborate with our classmates. This helps prepare us for the professional field so we can communicate and work well with others in the future. Through these activities, we learned how to help one another and share ideas—especially during our exhibit project. That experience was a big help in allowing us to know each other better, understand one another’s personalities, and choose good groupmates as we approach our third year.
