R U One of Us?
By: Filma C. Alquisola

A breed of students that has grown up with books. A studious culture defined through constant reading, researching, and studying. The first purely genius generation.

WE LIVE AMONG YOU, HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.

There is a new breed of humanity out there, indistinguishable from others before it - unless you know what to look for. Like subtle differences in outlook, odd skills, curious behavior, and strange attachment to encyclopedias.

WE HAVE A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE, BUT WE DON'T SPEAK IT.

It is a society that prefers solving Math problems to actual speech, and treats Calculus as its very own language. It understands that Mathematical and Scientific equations unlike mere words, can be saved, hidden away in black and white.

WE ARE ELITE BUT WE DON'T FLAUNT IT.

It has practiced constructivism since infancy, has been transformed into something never before seen in human history, - a purely genius generation. With special skills, codes, and rituals all its own.

WE ARE DIFFERENT BUT WE ARE ONE.

Interests and agenda vary, from simple craving of facts, to the primal love of Math and Science, or the sheer competitiveness in sport, all the way to the ultimate aim – a full life and all its pleasures. And yet all these creeds breed into one key concern... the need to be intelligent, to be one of the DOST scholars.

IT IS NOT EASY TO BE ONE OF US.
