1. In your few weeks of stay in De La Salle, can you identify one area of concern that affects the quality of life in your school?
An area of concern that affects the quality of life here at De La Salle is that of religion. DLSU-M is a Christian school, specifically a Catholic school. Non-Catholic organizations are not allowed to be official school organizations, and those who are not Christians feel forced learning some things that are against their beliefs in subjects like TREDONE. Even if it says that it respects other beliefs, these believers feel oppressed to stand for themselves.

2. What is your proposed solution to this problem?
La Salle is a Christian school, but it should be more open-minded since it allows students of other religions to enter it. Religion classes should not be centered around Catholic beliefs and practices, rather, they should be open to other beliefs as well. The current curriculum in religious education, TREDONE, is supposed to be aimed at this goal (understanding and knowing other religions/ quest for fullness of life), but that does not seem the case as of now.

3. As an active citizen in De La Salle, what do you commit yourself to do so that this school would become an ideal school?
As an active citizen in De La Salle, I commit myself to be more open to other beliefs and to respect their believers as well. At the same time, I, as a Christian, will continue growing in my faith and show others what God can do through me, that they may be influenced to do and act what is right.
