For the aspiring Thomasians

This coming October 26, many will try to enter the grounds of the University of Santo Thomas. But only chosen ones will have the chance to really study there. We know that you want to be the chosen one, so take a look at these tips:

1. Eat brain food! Fish, vegetables, fruits and lots of water will help you in do your activities.
2. Review but don't overdo it. Relax and learn as you browse and recall what needs to be remembered.
3. Get enoough sleep.
4. Don't cram.

Hooray to the future Thomasians!

Who wants to take the test?

Let me see those hands? Don't be so nervous. Exams will help you gauge what you have learned for the past months in school. Taking tests doesn't have to be so stiff. Just relax, read, and review.

Like the high school students of OB Montessori Center who will take up their 2nd quarter exams, students should never be afraid of taking exams. This coming Oct 21 to 23, we know that OBMC high school students will make a difference! Cheers to all the exam takers!

Almost over with the 2nd quarter

Whhheewww! It's almost sem break for college students. But for the high schoolers, they have to prepare for their last blow this month -- the quarter exams.

The high school students of St. Jude will take their 2nd quarter exams this coming week. But before you get busy with your reviews, remember to take it easy because here at Ahead, we are already proud of you! Go guys!

It's a green world!

What do you think of color green?
Green reminds us of growth, renewal, and environment. It also signifies life.

But for those who just took up the De La Salle University College Entrance Test or DLSUCET, green means new beginings. Last October 5, 11 and 12, DLSU opened its gates for the aspiring green archers.

Likewise, La Salle Greenhills had their entrance exam for upcoming high school students last October 9.

We are greeting you in advance for a job well done! We hope to see you next year in De La Salle.

Soar and score for Ateneo

Not only did the Ateneo Blue Eagles and Eaglets soar high in the 71st UAAP Season Men's Basketball. They also proved that determination and teamwork pay off well.

Last October 4 and 5, a number of upcoming high school students took the Ateneo HS Entrance Exam. We know that all of you did well so put on that smiling face :)

Let us be the first one to welcome you to the Ateneo Community! Congratulations!

Hooray to the Paulinians!

Time flies sooooo fast! It's exam period once again.

Most of the students probably finished their 2nd quarter exams by now. We like to congratulate Saint Paul College Pasig grade school and high school departments for a job well done!

Thinking about my course

Remember how we used to imagine what we would like to be? Choosing a course is one of the most important decisions in our lives. After college graduation (once we have our dream job), your careers will act like a mirror and give you a piece of who you really are and what you are good at. This is also the reason why everybody tends to look at universities and other learning institutions as foundations before entering the "real world."

If you still have no idea what path to take, or if you have no idea what course to take before entering college, think AHEAD. These guidelines would help you figure out what you'd like to pursue:

Ask yourself the following questions:

• Who am I right now?
  Take time to recall your attitudes, achievements, and aspirations.

• What do I enjoy doing? In what areas do I excel?
  Usually, we do things well because we love doing it. Remember the things you are passionate about, and the activities you did that gave you a lot of fulfillment.
  
• Science or Arts?
  Be involved in social activities such as seminars, community programs, and other curricular activities that will help you develop your skills and flesh out your interests.
  

Have your goals set. List down what you want to achieve in life. Do you want to be a doctor? An astronaut? Aim high but remain realistic. Are you disciplined enough to take medicine? Do you have the concentration and will to keep in tiptop shape for space flights?

Engage yourself in career guidance seminars or workshops. Take time answering personality or career tests online with your friends.

Attitude determines your perspective in life. Own that positive attitude. If you wish to be involved in the health care industry, believe that you have what it takes to be a good nurse or doctor and act on it!

Dig up pieces of advice. Don't be afraid to seek advice from your parents, career counselors, and friends. Listen to their ideas and suggestions before making an informed decision.
