The Beginning of the English Month

S.A.P.#12

February 2011 is known for dozens of different occasions, at least where Filipinos are concerned. There's the People Power Revolution to celebrate (Feb. 25), President Noynoy's birthday (Feb. 8), the Chinese New Year (Feb. 3). This is also the Month for Pro-Life members of the world. And, of course, who could forget that this is also the Month of Hearts, or in other words, Valentine's Day (Feb. 14).

But just this recent morning, I now count a new event for this month, which is (drum roll please), The English Month (Tah-dah!).

As a second year student majoring in English, my fellow classmates and I have to do the facilitating for the upcoming events of the English Month and I had felt that this task proves to be challenging, but at the same time truly a good way to exercise my ability to help, improve, assist, etc. for these events. It's too bad, though, it would mean I can't join an event at all since we'll have our hands full in hosting, assisting, etc. for these events.

Just today, I had had the pleasure in hosting one of the first events of the English Month: the Research Forum. I felt like every fiber of me is responsible in rolling the event as 'smoothly' as possible. I was a bit tad nervous if everything will turn out alright, but I guess all in all me and my fellow hosts and the presenters of the program had done a deal of a great effort to put on a very intellectual show in sharing the research they had done.

I look forward to more events concerning English Month and Linggo ng Wika, as both had become the capable Tongue of the Scholasticans.
