Msc Olympics 2013
BEGIN! Not even the pouring rain could deter the will and spirits of the students of the Marinduque State College as the college celebrates the very first day of the MARINDUQUE STATE COLLEGE OLYMPICS YEAR 2013. Banners waved and thousands of students showed their undying love and support as the president of our college, Dr. Romulo Malvar, officially declared the opening of the MSC Olympics, accompanied by the symbolic lighting of the torch and the flag raising ceremonies. It is truly amazing how the MSCians show their willingness to go for the honor and pride not only of the departments where they belong, but also to the college they serve. Just imagine their efforts and determination to ignore the physical and mental exhaustion that practice and try-outs bring to them. But surely, the efforts and sacrifices they have demonstrated will pay off in the following days, as variety of sports, cultural and literary competitions go about within the campus.
The pressure and excitement is now brought to a whole new level as departments compete against one another, in hopes to claim the crown as champions in the contests and games that they compete in. They do this not only for themselves, but also in honor of the people who molded and trained them into who and what they are at present. But no matter what happens, everyone competing in the MSC Olympics is already a winner, just like what Rev. Fr. Peter Perilla said in his homily at the holy mass conducted before the opening programs. It is safe to say that, as long as an athlete exerts all his efforts and gives all that he can for the sake of his team, he deserves all the recognition and support he can get from his department, win or lose. The first day has now passed, yet it is just the beginning of a series of heart racing events to occur within our campus in the next few days.
