#PassionWednesday: Fueling the Spirit of Animo
On this remarkable #PassionWednesday, we celebrate the vibrant skills and talents of our students who go above and beyond to pursue their passions and make a difference. Every corner of our campus comes alive with creativity, resilience, and the determination to achieve excellence, as students pour their energy into the pursuits they hold dear. They are not only advancing themselves but also contributing to a supportive and inspiring community, where everyone is encouraged to reach their full potential.
There is a diversity of student passions that reflect the Lasallian spirit. In the arts, students like Sean Gariganao, a Liceo student, prepare for events like the upcoming Literary Musical Festival by showcasing their skills in visual arts. He believes that the University provides students with opportunities to apply their talents in meaningful ways, allowing them to hone their abilities and make a lasting impact within the campus and beyond. In sports, track runners such as Carl Elizalde demonstrate that true dedication goes beyond competition day, as they commit to daily practice to refine their skills and push their limits. Each training session is seen as an essential part of their journey, developing their athletic abilities and their character. Our BEU Drumbeaters rehearse tirelessly, preparing to represent the school’s spirit and talent in an upcoming inter-school drum beating competition.
Other students across campus embody the same drive. Lasallian flair bartenders invest countless hours in mastering their craft, infusing each skillful move with finesse and precision. Beach volleyball players take time to have fun under the sun as they refine their skills and teamwork, striving for excellence at every level.
The contributions of these students extend well beyond individual achievements, reinforcing the shared values of hard work, resilience, and service that lie at the heart of our Lasallian mission. Their projects and practices are not merely activities but are meaningful journeys of personal growth, paving the way for lifelong learning and a lasting impact.
Today, these students are honored for their dedication, relentless energy, and commitment to bettering themselves. May this #PassionWednesday serve as a call to others, encouraging them to find and pursue their own passions. Through these pursuits, we enrich the campus and reinforce the unique spirit of ANIMO that defines us. Together, we continue to foster a diverse and empowered community where every student’s passion contributes to a brighter future.
