"How did UPLB SChemES prepare you for the professional world?"

​As a past President and member of UPLB SChemES, I learned how to live with competing priorities and integrate academics, social and personal life and org responsibilities.  I learned how to manage projects, handle teams of different personalities and complementing strengths, communicate with different stakeholders, solve problems, and improve processes.  SChemES also helped develop my self-confidence and leadership skills. The best thing about learning in SChemES is that you learn while you enjoy, not even noticing that you are developing yourself already. I learned to accept failures and rejections, then move forward. We were inspired then with simple accomplishments, without realizing that we were already achieving big things. These are things that made me adapt to ‘work life’ easily.  I will always remember, with a smile in my face, learning experiences at SChemES that brought me to where I am right now in my career and professional life.
