One of the most important event that will make Tamaraws unite and cease with whatever stuff they're doing regarding school matters is of course, the yearly celelebration of FEU's founding anniversary. Last year, I was really impressed about how our university successfully made the concert such an unforgettable event of 2010 for it had raised and awakened the spirit of the whole society of my alma mater seeing to it that we will all go home with smile in our faces and they did not fail. Since my first time to participate the concert was a success, I promised myself that I am not going to miss it till I finally graduate..
But this year, something unexpected marked the university's history. Who would have thought that while everybody had given their best to make another remarkable concert, after all the preparations, from inviting guests, setting equipments that will run the event up to the time that the officers of FEU STUDENT CENTRAL ORGANIZATION signalled "everything's ready", such circumstances will hinder the most awaited celebration of every individual belonging to FEU society.
I am already worried of what might happen in the event the day before. I observed that there is a big possibility that the weather could obstruct it. And to tell it sadly, my instinct came into reality. Classes were cut off starting six o'clock pm and the rain was already pouring softly. Those who had no class that day gave an effort to arrive at the university to make our fortitude as one and gratefully celebrate our foundation day.
The concert did not start at the expected time, but I saw how everybody patiently waited and hoped that the rain might stop until 8:30 pm. At about 9:45 pm, all of us were ordered to proceed to the grand stand. We thought the long wait will result to good news, it is the hope that the concert will be sustained no matter what. But opposite to our expectations, they declared that the event was postponed. I almost lost my consideration but then it was my deep sympathy that really mattered because I know there is no one to be blamed.
What happened will remain in the record of FEU. But I know everybody learned from it specially those who were responsible in organizing the interrupted event. After all, I will never feel embarassed since I am also a tamaraw and part of it, those who will take it as an issue will only show that they are narrow minded. I still salute them specially Mr. Sedfrey Lacsamana, the president of FEUCSO and the rest of his company for they had bravely faced thousands of FEU students who attended last friday, extending their apology for what happened.
"People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it."
