Everytime I pass through a certain area where people know that UPians are intelligent and UP gives a good quality education, some actually say,"Woah! She studies in UP but is she really intelligent?" The last question bothers me. I'm forced to say,"Are all UPians really intelligent?" Most UPians are brilliant but not all. The good things in UP are the school, the teachers, the quality of education and most likely the students. You can say all the good things about UP but what are some exceptions?
Some say that we are what they call as "nerds" but we are totally not. Some say that all of us are good in speaking in english but we are just reaching the average level. And they say that all of us are all-knowing but are we really that brilliant? The key is on the teachers. And most likely, people say that UPians excel in different fields but not all of us become professionals in the society. We are not born to excel but it's beacause of our perseverance. Some don't have this certain perseverance in their vocabulary.
People say that we are academic-minded but the truth is, we also are sports-minded. Actually, we have these certain time of the year wherein a sportsfest is held. Other than the High School Intramurals, we also have the Science Olympics which involves Science. We, the UPians, has this part of the mind set for academics and a part set for the extra-curricular activities. Often, we also play Pinoy games like patentero, piko, etc. if we have time.
They say that UPians are silent type of people but all I can say is, WE ARE NOT! We know how to talk with each other bacause no matter what, friendship really blooms all over the campus. Another is, we have this trait of companionship wherein love teams and a group of friends ( barkadas ) are built. We are humans. We have emotions like ordinary peole because we are one of them. But we are special in a way that some people are not. We are part of a society. We are special because we receive a good quality of education even if we are one of the low-class people in the society.
But the most intriguing are UPians are said to find trouble when it comes to politics and other issues in the government. As what Mdm. Logarta has said, "This is a democratic country." We are free to give our own opinions. UPians don't find trouble but we find justice. Think of what will happen if people don't say their feelings on a worsening country. The government needs the people- thier suggestions and shouts in order to attain a peaceful country.
"Don't judge a book by its cover." As what have Ms. Melanie Marquez said, "Don't judge me, I'm not a book." I agree to this. UPians are not subject to be talked about in the society. We are not famous actors but only , we stand for our rights so they have to give it to us. Don't expect to much from us because we are just human beings. Good Day!
