Athena Michelle de Lara, is a fourth-year Broadcasting student from the College of Communication. She is already 21 years old from Talipapa, Novaliches, Quezon City but she is originally from San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Her mother is a music teacher in the name of Ma. Raquel de Lara and her father is Danilo de Lara, a self-employed businessman.
We held our small talk in a classroom near the CoC Theater. I remember those days when our section used to have a class there and having those silly talks during our free time. At first, we made each other comfortable before I started the interview.
Firstly asked, who influenced her to enroll in PUP. She said that no one actually convinced her to enroll here. She was the one who insisted to her parents that she wanted to study in PUP. And she was asked how she describes PUP as her school, she cheerfully said that her university is “astig.” This university taught her how to be resourceful and more patient in a lot of things. She told me that this school taught her more on the right virtues and beliefs more than academics. She said that PUP is a liberated institution her expectations were satisfied in her stay here in our university.
As the interview continues, she was also asked what particular subject in her course she really likes the most; she said that production subjects really captured her interest. When it comes to her most favorite professor, Sir John Gemperle a.k.a. Papa Jack is her bet. The reason why she likes him is because according to her, he is not bookish and he teaches his lessons based on experience.
Athena is planning to take a Master’s Degree in Management after she graduated and she has this dream of applying in a big company that will make use of her talents and skills. On the more personal side, she told me that college life is more difficult and more demanding compared to her high school life. But even though it is tedious, she feels more independent and resourceful this time. Her adjustments were a little bit harder because she has to stay awake even though it is already late just to finish her paper works. But she said before that production subjects really took her interest and during production activities was the most memorable moment for her. The last question was what particular views in her life that changed since she entered college. She said that things in life cannot be achieved easily and you have to strive hard in order to achieve your goals.Truly it was a wonderful experience going back to your Alma Mater. And it is also an enjoyable moment that I got to the chance to talk with a student currently studying here and be able to relate myself to those things that she is presently experiencing.. The up’s and down’s of being an “Iskolar.”
