We are READY

19 June 2009- An issue from the Rector-President of San Beda College-Mendiola issued a notice for a week suspension of classes due to a confirmed case of Influenza A(H1N1)in the campus. Five students have been confirmed to have the said viral disease.

Every one accepted the news with a calm response. Others panicked, paranoid because their friends had a physical contact with the victims still others are happy because classes are suspended for a week.

A(h1n1) is a viral disease. A simple contact to a person with this disease can let you acquire this disease also. Our school may have this case but I can say that we are ready.

Why?

We are ready to face the challenges. We are ready for a brand new start. We are ready to face the new challenges that will come ahead. Better, we are prepared for the upcoming days.

Classes are suspended but there are upcoming duties to do. Online teaching has been introduced.
To my fellow Bedans, the one week suspension is not a time for happy events, vacation but a time to be prepared for the upcoming days. We should stay fit and healthy keeping our side different preventive measures. This is our time to double time in our studies, read in advance and value each time we have right now.

Have a flu-free week!
