Why Klement ’09?

by Ephraim Arriesgado

   You may have this question in your mind right now, “Why Klement ’09?” To answer this, let me introduce to you this special group of people.

   Klement ’09 is the name of our batch who has graduated last March 2009 at Mountain View College, Valencia City, Bukidnon, Philippines with the degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing. In short, we are nurses by profession. As far as I can remember, we are 120-plus individuals who come from the different parts of the Philippines (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) and around the world (some are from the U.S.A. and Korea).

          St. Augustine, a theologian and philosopher once said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” Travelling indeed imparts wisdom to the traveller. The experiences encountered along the way, the sights, the sounds, the emotions, all contribute to the traveller’s knowledge, which will enable him/her to become a better individual because of his/her travels. 

            That's what I love about travelling. It's the important lessons that you get along the way. It's your experiences, your newly explored sights, the discoveries that you make, that will transform you into a better individual.  

            Your once naive mind sheltered in a cocoon, but because of travelling, will have broader horizons. You'll have better idea of what the world is and your perception will widen. So wide that you realize that there are vast amount of things not taught in school.
