Ms. SHAME MHIEL F. SUAN
Radiobroadcaster (2023-2025)
โThroughout my junior high school years, one of the most meaningful experiences Iโve had was being part of our student publication, The Echo. It wasnโt just an extracurricular activityโit became a home, a place where I learned and met some of the most inspiring people Iโve ever known. The memories I made and the lessons I gained will always hold a special place in my heart.
โ
โWhen I first joined The Echo back in 2022, I wasnโt sure where the path would lead me. But as time went by, I realized that I had found a family. I met Ma'am Joy, our School Paper Adviser, who taught me how to be a good journalist. She became my support system every time I doubted myself. I also met amazing people who became my friendsโpeople who helped me grow and supported me in every way they could.
โ
โOne of the highlights of my journey in The Echo was being part of the radio broadcasting team. At first, I was nervous, unsure if I had the voice or confidence for it. But with guidance, practice, and the constant support of those around me, I discovered a new side of myself. I learned how to communicate clearly, work as part of a team, and think quickly under pressure. Competing and collaborating in radio broadcasting not only improved my skills, but also helped me find my voiceโliterally and figuratively.
โ
โThrough the ups and downs, I learned the value of hard work and teamwork. We celebrated every issue released, every award won, and every challenge we overcame together. The late-night practices, the shared snacks during training days, and the laughter in between made everything worth it.
โ
โLooking back, I am forever grateful to have been part of the student publication. It shaped a big part of who I am today. It gave me confidence, taught me responsibility, and allowed me to build friendships that Iโll always cherish. As I move forward, Iโll carry with me the voice I found, the stories I told, and the memories I made during those unforgettable years.
