Career Planning Workshop

The College Guidance Center, in partnership with the graduate students of the University of Saint La Salle – Bacolod, facilitated a career-planning workshop at the testing room of the Student Center Building, Colegio San Agustin – Bacolod last Friday, October 9, 2009.

Eleven graduating psychology students of Colegio San Agustin – Bacolod participated in the said workshop. The activity commenced with a morning prayer depicting the beginning of the day and the beginning of life followed by the story of the three trees. The story described the dreams of the three trees. Though at first they thought that their dreams were never achieved but in the end, their dreams were realized in another and a more meaningful way. They reached beyond their dreams and their hearts were fulfilled and contended.

A lecture on strategic career planning followed. The SODI model on career planning was introduced to the group and careers awaiting psychology graduates were presented. The participants were divided into two groups where they shared what made them choose psychology, their top two career choices in psychology and the person they want to become after five years.

The game “Samson and Delilah” brought more fun and action to the next part of the program. After the game, the participants were given pieces of paper with job titles written on it. Some participants were called to act out the jobs on the papers they got and those who got the same joined them. As a consequence, those who joined the wrong group performed the “Banana Dance” which entertained everybody. The group then had a lecture on decision-making. The simple steps to take and the process of responsible decision-making were discussed. The importance of decision-making was emphasized for the realization a dream is based on decisions made in every given opportunity. The workshop concluded with group processing, evaluation and giving of certificates.

Michael Brian Arcedas, Charlene Rivera and Winona Pandan, students from the graduate school of the University of Saint La Salle – Bacolod, facilitated the workshop.

October the Month of the Holy Rosary

October and the Rosary

Tradition holds that October has been celebrated as the month of the rosary since 1571, and the victory of the Catholic League (an alliance of Spain, Venice, the Papal States, Genoa, Savoy, and Malta) over the forces of the Ottoman Empire who were seeking to take over Italy in an effort to move into the heart of Europe. It was October 7, 1571 when the battle was fought and the Catholic League was able to overcome the Ottoman forces.

Prior to the ships sailing off towards battle, Pope Pius V prayed the rosary, asking for Our Lady’s intercession in victory, and every man on board carried a rosary. For this reason, as soon as the men returned from the battle, the good pope declared a feast day for Our Lady of Victory. A rosary procession was offered in St. Peter’s square after the victory and in time the whole month became associated with the rosary, rather than just one day. Pope Pius XIII officially established October as the Month of the Rosary in the 1884.
