A memorable Moment with the President of Mariano Marcos State University

One of the most memorable and honorable moments during my journey was the opportunity to visit and meet the President of Mariano Marcos State University, Virgilio Julius P. Manzano Jr., at the Office of the President.

During this meeting, we had the chance to introduce ourselves as student teachers from Indonesia who would be participating in the SEA Teacher Program. We also shared our purpose and activities throughout the program. During our stay, we were assigned to the College of Teacher Education, where we observed classes, assisted in instructional activities, and conducted teaching demonstrations as part of our international teaching practicum.

The meeting felt both formal and inspiring. Being able to stand in that room, representing my country and sharing my journey, was something I once never imagined. It was a moment of pride, reflection, and gratitude reminding me how far I have come in this journey.
