Back to Online School: A Sequel in the Making

by Dylan Antonio

It’s been a little over a week since classes started at Divine Light Academy - Molino. With about 3 months of summer break, we are now back in school to face new challenges ahead of us. To formally welcome the Divinians, our newly appointed school principal, Mrs. Ma. Teresa A. Dagu-ob, gave us an inspiring message about adaptability, hope, collaboration, and goals along with an upgraded and adjusted learning system. Indeed, we might have had a tough time dealing with the virtual set-up from all the connection issues, due dates, and lack of social interaction, but gratefully, we are able to still push through and overcome these difficulties.

We will always have obstacles and hindrances along the way. We cannot fight this alone, however, especially at times like these where our strength and cooperation will always be tested. Working together is needed now more than ever. Likewise, success in education also requires team effort and competence. With the opening of the Academic Year 2021-2022, let us also welcome our newly appointed Subject Area Coordinators, OICs, and Level Leaders.

Hopefully this “sequel” will be better and much more exciting. Though this set-up may not be for everyone, let us remember to be grateful and to support one another. Here’s to a productive, safe, and meaningful school year ahead.
