    In the marathon of student life, everybody pursues knowledge and shares views. But as we take this journey to face the reality, there are some who throw dust in the eyes of the learners.

    Every student is struggling against the loopholes of the academic life. With these problems on hand, many of us students are just murmuring, not doing anything. Why don't behavioral tendencies make a passage? Because the learners are afraid? I don't think so. If we are going to track down these loopholes, we can identify a few of them.

    What one does and what one says will reflect his true personality. "A small leak will sink a great ship," a saying  goes. 

    We hope this will serve as a tool of rebirth, to start again for the best and not for the worst. We want to progress, right? We must have feathers in our cap. It was Homer, the blind writer of Greece, who said, in his epics Iliad and Odyssey, that man's fate is the result of his actions.

    Let this be the basis for credible individuals. It takes vision and courage to prove. Do not wait for a single drop of rain to awaken you up in the midst of wrongdoings.

    Even the ancient gods and goddesses had their innate flaws. God created us according to His image and likeness. We are all unique. Why can't we show our good behavior before God? Why be tolerant to evil? Why are problems recurring? What ways do we need to uphold our status as children of God? How are we going to rectify loopholes?

    In addition, every journalist has the right to observe keenly the situations that happen in his surroundings. He must, anticipatively, examine the behavior of individuals who become "rough diamonds." Thus, the publication must be the medium through which opinions and ideas could be voiced out.
