On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, the University of Bohol (UB) held a USpeak forum at the UB-IMC with the theme “𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆: 𝑪𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆’𝒔 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔.”

Guest speaker Merry Grace C. Sumampong, RGC, Head Guidance Counselor, shared valuable insights on managing stress, overcoming setbacks, and staying mentally strong amid academic and personal struggles. She encouraged students to reflect on how they respond to challenges while providing practical tips on how to bounce back and adapt.

Students also participated in activities such as measuring their Adversity Quotient (AQ), which allowed them to assess their ability to cope with difficulties and gain a deeper understanding of resilience in everyday life.

As the discussion progressed, Mrs. Sumampong also emphasized that resilience goes beyond overcoming hardships, and using challenges as steppingstones for growth. She concluded her talk with the quote, “𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙨,” reminding UBians to face life’s challenges with strength, adaptability, and hope.
