BY JANSEN MERCADO AND RAYMART DWAYNE DIZON

Rajiv Dueñas Dizon an aspiring DJ is a BA Communications student in the University of Baguio. It was a late afternoon when we got to talk to him about his course, which is communications during the interview we knew why he took Communications as his course in college was because of his diligence to be able to develop his oral and communications skills, to be able to boost his self confidence when in front of many people. In every course it has its own difficulty, so we asked him what are the hindrances that he faces while partaking this course. He said that at first establishing a communication with his fellow first year classmates was difficult for he didn’t know anyone or had any close friends in University of Baguio. We also asked if he didn’t chose to be a communications student what would he have chosen otherwise, He told us that he would have chosen to be an accounting student because of his liking of data collecting in the form of accounting and Lastly we asked what he could advise to his fellow communications student, He said: “For all mass communications students out there I would suggest that you should continue your passion, be inspired to reach your goals and be motivated that there is nothing easy in this world and only hard work and determination can uplift you to your success”.
