The ‘ANIMO’ spirit in times of crisis

When COVID-19 landed in the Philippines, everything was forced to stop. All restaurants, parks, schools, malls, and other establishments have been closed, people stopped working, and everybody is stuck in their houses. However, it did not stop De Lasalle University from working on its progress towards achieving its goals despite unfortunate circumstances brought by the virus contagion. The institution made an immediate and flexible response to the needs of its students and became one of the first to adopt online learning and led the way for the future of education. More so, De La Salle University created further developed strategies to combat the foreseen obstacles of the pandemic. These strategies come along with not just the abbreviation but the meaning of their long-lived battle cry and spirit, the “Animo La Salle!”

As a shift towards the new normal, De La Salle University came up with ANIMO with which each letter corresponds to a specific strategy. These strategies stand for accompaniment, niches, impact, ministry, and opening. The first strategy, accompaniment, talks about a commitment of the institution to enhancing faculty-student engagement, practical assessment, and comprehensive support for all its stakeholders. Niches emphasize the support for graduates and faculty to have augmented toolkits for pandemic proof research methods to ensure minimum destruction to pipelines and increase social engagement towards a shared future. Impact gears towards the expansion of industry networks to further professionalize advancement and provide challenge-based learning programs in the transition to digital platforms. Ministry aims for the institution to build projects that promote sustainability, resiliency, security, and evidence-based approaches to improve service amidst the pandemic. Lastly, opening focuses on DLSU’s long-term planning and developing protocols for safe study and work, planning for disaster, recovery, mission continuity, and migration of key online services.

These strategies serve as weapons of De La Salle University to help students and the community fight and survive the repercussions in the face of the pandemic. Each of the well-developed strategies of De La Salle University focuses on a particular aspect of the community's needs. Nevertheless, one of the strategies contributes to maintaining DLSU’s position as a top university in the Philippines. This strategy is accompaniment. One of the big factors that put DLSU in the world rankings is the quality of its curriculum or the academic reputation and employer reputation. As aforementioned, accompaniment helps the students of DLSU acquire meaningful and valuable blended curriculum by maximizing faculty-student interaction as well as providing evidence-based assessments that strengthen students’ self-learning and independence. Not only that, according to, the constant element for the school is its faculty and their contributions that made it to the world ranking. With this, accompaniment is what differentiates DLSU from other institutions and it is what will push the university’s quality of education further to the betterment.

Impact also comes vital when it comes to establishing DLSU’s international reputation and prestige. This is for the reason that Impact enables the university to expand its network of industry partners. The bigger the network is, the more people De La Salle University is connected to; hence, the more established the name of the university becomes. More so, it is aimed towards working for a shared goal and interests with partners so, in effect, it increases the university’s social value and reputation. If De La Salle university gives importance and value to its people, so do its people care about it. The impacts of DLSU to the community also represent its legacies; therefore, they not only make the university gain prestige but they also leave a trail for other institutions or other people to follow and to continue their journey in the future.

Despite all these, do these strategies really help an individual become a true Lasallian Business Leader? There are three broad business objectives embodied in "The Vocation of the Business Leader”: Good Goods (contribute to the common good), Good Work (dignity of human work), and Good Wealth (stewardship and just). The DLSU strategic plan promotes all these three objectives. DLSU offers a high quality of education and fosters character formation, professional development, culture, and support which satisfies the objective of contributing to the common good (Good goods). The fact that DLSU continues to expand its research and to connect with partners and industry to localize UN Sustainable Development Goals is a manifestation of human dignity in work (Good Work). The formation of BITUIN and the building of other projects to promote sustainability, resiliency, security and evidence-based approaches for the benefit of the community, students and other stakeholders is proof of just distribution of wealth; thus, satisfying the objective of stewardship and just (Good Wealth).

Below is the SWOT analysis of De La Salle University in the face of the pandemic. De La Salle University plays its chances of around 85% of success in realizing the key strategies of the plan. As shown in the table, De La Salle University may have strengths and opportunities that it can use as leverage but it also has considerable weaknesses and threats that may hinder the institution from achieving its goals at minimum effort. Moreover, the pandemic limitations have resulted in a significant decline in the welfare and economy of the country and it is continuously causing more complications and risks for all sectors of the society. For De La Salle University to effectively execute the key strategies of its plan, the institution must be able to eliminate or improve on them. This may take a long road for DLSU but it will surely be all worth the journey in the end.

Strengths

● Human Resource Management (Value Chain Analysis) – Based on the ranking criteria for top universities, DLSU rates 26.9 in employee reputation which is relatively high compared to other Philippines universities (QS TopUniversities, 2020).

● Technology Development (Value Chain Analysis) – DLSU’s constant development and publication of science and research makes the university one of the country’s most productive research institutions (BMPlus, 2020).

● Marketing and Sales (Value Chain Analysis) – DLSU uses evidence-based approach to provide high quality of education so as to enhance character and professional development.

● Service (Value Chain Analysis) – All DLSU degrees programs are designed to be modern, future-proof, and rooted in the best tradition of Lasallian education (Times Higher Education, 2020).

● Service (Value Chain Analysis) – DLSU’s use of internet platforms promotes remote learning where users can access education and be able to communicate with each other anytime and anywhere or even at the comfort of their houses.

Weaknesses

● Technology Development (Value Chain Analysis) – DLSU often takes time fixing occurring technical issues over its systems (Animospace, MyLaSalle) regarding enlistment, enrollment, payment and many more that cause some conflicts among students.

● Service (Value Chain Analysis) – The administration does not quickly respond to students’ concerns over electronic emails which dissatisfies effective faculty-student engagement and customer service.

● Technology Development (Value Chain Analysis) – DLSU is still new to utilizing online learning platforms and is still in the process of making adjustments to further enhance education for all students.

● Human Resource Management (Value Chain Analysis) – There are some aged professors and faculty staff who are not inclined to using advanced technologies.

AREAS OF CONSIDERATION

Opportunities

● Buyer Power (Porters) – DLSU has its name established and renowned as a top university in the Philippines next to UP; thus, more students are willing to pursue degree programs in DLSU than in other universities (Top Universities, 2020).

● Technological (Pestle) – DLSU opens door to cross enrollees through the Lasallian Open Online-learning Program where students from partner schools, state colleges, and other education institutions are allowed to take DLSU courses that are not available at their home school amidst the pandemic (GMA News Online, 2020).

● Threat of New Entry (Pestle) – Since the country is currently experiencing an economic crisis plus the mobility limitations as a result of the pandemic, it becomes more difficult to build schools as how difficult it is to reopen some.

● Social (Pestle) – DLSU cares about students who are having emotional stress and cannot comply with requirements amidst the pandemic thus, they are not given any failing grade but a deferred grade or a retake of the course.

● Threat of Substitutes (Porters) - When it comes to learning, especially in a pandemic, there are hardly any alternatives or substitutes for acquiring education aside from online learning. The shutting down of schools, and other establishments have forced people to shift from physical classroom to technological interactive learning platforms to ensure safety and convenience (Contreras, 2020).

AREAS OF CONSIDERATION

Threats.

● Competitive Rivalry (Porters) – The competition in this industry is high in terms of providing education amidst the pandemic as most educational institutions are already starting to adopt online learning platforms to engage with students (Mocon-Ciriaco, 2020).

● Social (Porters) – As virus contagion continues to grow in the country, an increasing number of people get physically and mentally sick which causes a loss of focus to many students during online classes (Malindog-Uy, 2020).

● Economical (Pestle) – Due to the country’s lockdown, many people have lost their jobs and are struggling to gain resources to sustain their family’s needs. Thus, many students may be forced to stop from their school to help their families save money and provide the necessities to survive (Torres, 2020).

● Environmental (Pestle) – The pandemic quarantine limitations prohibit DLSU and other universities from performing physical learning and forces them to gear towards online platforms (Magsambol, 2020).

● Technological (Pestle) – a large percentage of students in the Philippines do not have reliable internet connection; hence, a large number of students are not able to access online education as efficiently and effective as can be (Philippine Daily Inquirer, 2020).

One of the objectives of the DLSU strategic plan focuses on being able to support and provide support to vulnerable members of the community. This is being able to form meaningful relationships among students and create a meaningful and valuable blended curriculum during these times of crisis. With this formation of culture and support environment present in DLSU, it allows us to grow into becoming good business leaders for the future. One of the RVRCOB Code of Ethics is to be able to promote a humane and enabling the work community within the organization. This correlates with growing up in a community wherein we can create meaningful relationships that support one another as it also follows by focusing on helping others beyond my interests.

As I continue to study at De La Salle University, I am confident that I have learned a variety of lessons and values both in life and academics. There are also more things that I know am yet to discover in the university. DLSU has enabled me to gain memorable experiences with friends and classmates. Moreover, I enjoyed the challenges and opportunities provided by diverse organizations and cultures. By joining events of organizations, I was able to help raise funds for the marginalized, especially for partner public schools. DLSU has pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone and molded me into becoming a potential leader to represent the school in sharing the values and knowledge with other people. DLSU has taught me to love the people around me regardless of gender, race, culture, religion, etc. Being able to learn the culture and values of De La Salle University is what I consider to be my unique contribution to its success in achieving its objectives. Because of these experiences, I have become a potential inheritor of what DLSU taught me. As a DLSU student, I am contributing not only as a messenger, spreading all the knowledge and values but also as a catalyst for change.

GETTIN’ GEARED UP FOR THE BIG OPENING!!

(via The Art Angel | PORTFOLIO Magazine)

The Art Angel

by Mei Anne Foo Art collector Mr. Ryan Su puts together a headlining exhibition featuring works by Charlie’s Angels star Ms. Lucy Liu to kickstart the Singapore Arts Calendar in 2019, all while working as a litigator, concurrently pursuing a PhD in Art Law

It is no surprise why Mr. Ryan Su would take to Ms. Lucy Liu. Both are multi-hyphenate advocates, straddling dual roles. The former practices law by profession and collects-slash-exhibits art by passion; while the latter is a Hollywood A-lister and surprisingly successful visual artist, who boldly bares her talent on screen and on canvas.

The Singaporean lawyer and Queens-born actress first met in the United States. Mr. Su recalls, “My relationship with Ms. Liu started over dinner in New York. I think she wanted to meet us as much as we wanted to meet her. We had a mutual friend who, over several years, talked about us to her and vice versa. Dinner then evolved into a studio visit, where we realized the scale of her artistic practice and her immense thought processes and dedication to her work, which was deeply personal. I felt that her work would really resonate with audiences in Singapore.”

Thus, the founder of The Ryan Foundation, a non-profit arts entity that aims to increase art awareness in Singapore and the world, decided to mount a contemporary art exhibition, which will be headlining next year’s Singapore art calendar in January 2019, featuring works by Ms. Liu. Singaporean female artist and winner of the Juror’s Choice Award at the recent APB Signature Art Prize, Ms. Shubigi Rao, will also be showcasing her oeuvre at the exhibition entitled Lucy Liu and Shubigi Rao: Unhomed Belongings, co-presented by the National Museum of Singapore.

Mr. Su says of Ms. Rao’s eventual involvement: “Both artists corresponded and discovered a cerebral and personal chemistry between their works.” Incidental or not, the Hollywood star and Lasalle lecturer share an interest in examining and dissecting cultures, histories, identities and relationships through objects and became the perfect artist pairing, which also suited Mr. Su’s vision of promoting cultural and physical exchange around art.

In Unhomed Belongings, Ms. Liu presents an installation of around 200 hand-made books, each containing discarded objects she picked up on her travels, such as wires, crushed cans and fishing lures. These discarded objects, now re-contextualized as ‘art’ that is in itself abstract, as opposed to literal, challenge the viewer to make sense of them. Ms. Liu calls this installation, which took her several years to create, Lost & Found.”

Another common theme in the exhibitions put together by the Foundation and its avid art collector-custodian is interactivity. Mr. Su, a big Andy Warhol fan, held his first exhibition in 2016, Andy Warhol: Social Circus, encompassing the largest collection of Andy Warhol Polaroids to be shown in Asia — with most Polaroid pieces displayed from his own collection. But beyond a look at the Pop Art icon’s selfie pioneering skills, Mr. Su also brought in live silk-screening sessions and even photo shoots with his pet parrots, emulating his own social circus at Singapore’s Gillman Barracks two years ago. “I am all for artworks viewers can interact with,” he says, “The more posts on social media, the better!” Asked if he has any concerns that these shows have become platforms for Instagram fodder rather than genuine interest in the art itself, Mr. Su replies, “Our exhibitions have been criticized for being too mass market and for being pitched at too low a level, but that is what we at the Foundation have set out to do, at least for now. White walls in galleries are intimidating and we need to get young people interested and talking about art first, before trying to do anything else. We have had some very successful exhibitions in the past years which really impacted young people in Singapore, adding much needed vibrancy to the local art scene.” Besides bringing pop art to the masses, Mr. Su also helps artists, curators, galleries and even institutions navigate the legal aspects of the art world — often with commercially minded outcomes that only someone with industry knowledge can provide. He is currently pursuing his PhD in Art Law to deepen his knowledge and further grow in this field. Not just a mere collector, Mr. Su makes sure he patronizes art and that has truly made him an angel to the art world. He concludes, “At some point, it became meaningless to collect more and more artworks only to have them hidden away in storage. Art should be seen and shared. Thus, developing exhibitions came naturally [for me]. I am lucky to have been guided by some of the best people in the art world, and see our role not as a curator, but as a cultural producer, developing and enabling exhibitions and interventions involving art in Singapore and internationally.”

"Where have I ended up?"

This is the question Lasalle wishes to investigate today: since landing in this strange place, he has yet to find out where he is, who is with him, and what is beyond that cold mist that covers the rest of the forest.

The men of the encampment are all those who fell while under his command in life. A few familiar faces present themselves from his own regiment, but many are unknown. Lasalle chooses not to ask where they fell, assuming this to be a sensitive subject, but is civil with them as he wanders around this camp he has ended up in.

He notices that when he rides, a specific group follows him and acts as a sort of bodyguard, allowing nobody to get too close. Eventually he asks who they are and why they do this; they reply that they are the dead of Wagram, but give no reason for their fierce protection of their general. He also notices that the sentries never change, and yet they seem immune to fatigue and carry on with their duties as if they were freshly placed there. This he again receives no explanation for, but observes that the blood on their uniforms shows they must have died from wounds received from behind.

Then there's the matter of that damned mist. It is cold but leaves no frost or other residue, and it seems to distort one's form while walking through it. It has prevented several of his letters from reaching their destinations, but no one knows why. And something always makes him turn back when he tries to walk all the way through, as if an omen is warning him to do so.

Murat Correspondence Masterpost

I’ve been posting quite a bit of Murat-related correspondence since starting up this account, so I thought I’d put together a post compiling all the links to the various letters & excerpts in one place. I’ll try to keep this updated regularly as I post more. (This will just be a list of the Murat correspondence I’ve posted to my Tumblr; my much-neglected other blog that I really need to start updating again has a lot more.)

***Edit (1 Nov 2020)*** So I’ve decided to go and add links to all the letters I’ve posted on my other blog as well, to have all the letters I’ve translated and typed up linked in one place. There are forty total letters from Murat to his daughter Letitia. The Letitia letters make up the bulk of the post-1810 correspondence I’ve translated so far. Paul Le Breton’s published Murat correspondence stops in the summer of 1810, so almost everything I have from after that point, with very few exceptions, comes from the series of letters to Letitia published separately, and the small number of letters published in Louise Murat’s memoirs.

***

***Edit (22 Feb 2021)*** Updated with links to Dec 1813/Jan 1814 letters from Murat to Napoleon; July 1805 letters between Murat & Eugène; and Caroline’s letter to Fouché from 1820.

Entrevue cégépienne

1. Comment se déroule votre expérience au Cégep ? Est-ce que vous faites un préuniversitaire ou une technique ?

Je suis présentement en train de terminer un DEC en sciences humaines dans le profil individu, qui correspond à un DEC de base avec une concentration en psychologie et en sociologie, au Cégep André-Laurendeau situé à LaSalle. C’est un programme préuniversitaire, alors mon expérience au Cégep aura été de courte durée puisque, si tout va bien, je l’aurai terminé en 2 ans, c’est-à-dire en juin 2021. Dans le contexte de la pandémie, je n’ai eu qu’une session en présentiel à l’école (automne 2019), mais je peux t’affirmer que ces 3 mois ont été parmi les meilleurs de ma vie ! Chaque Cégep a une réputation différente. En ce qui concerne le mien, il est surtout reconnu pour être tranquille et favoriser une énorme socialisation, ce qui s’est avéré être très vrai. Il y a une grande ouverture d’esprit et une très grande diversité parmi les étudiants, alors tu ne te sens jamais délaissé, peu importe tes passions ou ton origine. À chaque pause commune (période de pause générale pour tous les étudiants, peu importe leur programme/leurs cours), il y avait des activités à la cafétéria, de la musique, bref c’était super vivant ! J’ai adoré l’ambiance, presque familiale, et cela me manque beaucoup depuis que l’enseignement se déroule en ligne. Cependant, les enseignants sont compréhensifs et à l’écoute des élèves, et c’est en ayant de l’enseignement à distance que j’ai réellement compris l’importance de ces qualités chez les professeurs, pour lesquelles je suis vraiment reconnaissante. J’ai eu la chance d’aller au Cégep avec mes amis du secondaire, mais cela ne m’a pas empêché de me faire de nouveaux amis, avec qui je suis toujours en contact malgré la pandémie, grâce aux réseaux sociaux. Cela a été un coup de foudre du point de vue amical ! 😊

2. Est-ce que vos attentes avant d’entrer au Cégep concordent avec votre réalité académique actuelle ? Ex. : charge de travail, cours.

J’ai réalisé mes études secondaires dans un programme d’éducation internationale (PEI) au Collège Saint-Louis, école secondaire semi-privée axée énormément sur la performance académique, alors, pour être honnête, mes attentes envers la charge académique étaient un peu plus élevées que ce à quoi j’ai réellement eu à faire face. Personnellement, pour moi, la charge de travail académique n’a pas été augmentée de façon significative entre le secondaire et le cégep. Puisque j’ai eu enfin l’opportunité de choisir d’étudier ce que j’aimais réellement, je me suis rapidement adaptée à la nouvelle matière. Je me souviens d’avoir compris, dès les premières semaines, que ce n’est pas la matière de mon programme qui allait être difficile, mais plutôt l’organisation de ma nouvelle vie sociale et de mon futur, ce que je n’avais pas prévu comme difficulté au départ. J’ai eu à faire beaucoup de compromis et de changements dans ma vie, mais la clé, selon moi, c’est surtout d’avoir une bonne organisation. J’ai essayé au maximum d’avoir un équilibre dans toutes les sphères de ma vie, entre l’école, mon entourage social et familial et mon emploi. C’est l’unique outil qui me permet de rester saine mentalement et physiquement, tout en ayant 8 cours à temps plein et tout en travaillant dans une pharmacie en pleine pandémie 20 h par semaine à temps partiel ! Toutefois, je peux te confirmer que je ne t’aurais pas donné la même réponse si j’avais fait mon secondaire dans une autre école que celle-là. Je suis consciente que pour beaucoup c’est complètement différent, mais c’est important de ne pas oublier que chaque programme comporte des difficultés académiques et que ça ne vaut pas la peine de se rendre malade juste pour 0,2 point de plus à la cote R. Au Cégep, ça va10x plus vite qu’au secondaire, alors on se met à questionner absolument chacun de nos choix, en espérant de ne pas le regretter plus tard, mais il faut faire attention parce que ça peut rapidement devenir toxique comme comportement.

3. Avez-vous dérogé de l’idée de carrière que vous aviez en entrant au Cégep ?

Oui ! Déjà, il faut savoir que tout mon secondaire 4 j’avais prévu aller en sciences de la nature/de la santé, car j’adore les mathématiques et la biologie et j’ai toujours rêvé d’être psychiatre. Mes plans ont rapidement changé quand j’ai eu un cours de chimie en secondaire 5 et j’ai compris que ça, par exemple, je n’aimais pas du tout et que ça allait être impossible que j’en suive 3 autres. J’ai changé mon choix de programme au SRAM pour le programme de sciences humaines-individu, 24 h avant la date finale d’inscription, sans le dire à personne, et c’est la meilleure décision que j’aurais pu prendre ! À ce moment-là, j’avais comme objectif de devenir criminologue ou avocate, puis j’ai eu une énorme période de questionnements pendant l’été. J’ai vu que j’allais terminer mon DEC dans les temps prescrits et deux ans, c’est extrêmement court comme période pour décider de ma carrière pour les 50 prochaines années… J’ai eu peur de ne pas pouvoir être assez objective dans ces domaines, alors je me suis réorientée vers ce qui m’a toujours passionnée à la base : la psychologie.

4. Comment avez-vous vécu la transition entre votre école secondaire et votre Cégep ? Ex. : établissement plus grand, cours spécialisés, responsabilités générales, déplacements, etc.

Pour moi, la transition s’est bien faite, mais de façon brusque, car tous les changements sont arrivés en même temps. J’ai toujours habité très proche de mes écoles (primaires et secondaires), alors je n’ai jamais eu à utiliser l’autobus ou la voiture pour m’y rendre, ce qui n’a pas été le cas pour le Cégep. Ma routine des 11 dernières années a été bouleversée ; maintenant, il fallait que je me réveille à 5 h 30, pour pouvoir prendre le bus à 6 h 40, pour arriver à temps à 8 h à l’école parce que je n’avais pas encore mon permis de conduite. C’était très fatigant et maintenant je comprends mes amis du secondaire qui habitaient loin qui étaient toujours fatigués le matin ! Aussi, ayant été environ 900 étudiants au complet dans mon école secondaire, je n’étais pas habituée à une grande école comme André, où on est plus de 5000 ! J’ai traversé une petite période d’anxiété les premières semaines en voyant la cafétéria toujours remplie à craquer de personnes, en étant souvent dans une ambiance bruyante et en étant entourée de nouveaux visages à chaque 10 secondes, mais, avec le temps, je m’y suis habituée et maintenant l’école me paraît presque petite ! :)

5. Pensez-vous continuer dans le même domaine d’études ?

Oui ! Je vais continuer dans le domaine des sciences sociales à l’université. J’ai arrêté mon choix de façon définitive sur la neuropsychologie qui est une spécialisation clinique de la psychologie. Je vais appliquer en mars à l’Université de Montréal dans le programme de neurosciences cognitives et à McGill, en Psychology Honors, puis après je choisirai l’université dans laquelle je voudrais poursuivre. Mon rêve serait d’enseigner les neurosciences au niveau universitaire et de travailler en pédiatrie, dans les hôpitaux publics, où il y a, en ce moment, un grand manque de psychologues et de neuropsychologues.

6. Sentez-vous la pression de votre entourage concernant votre formation actuelle ?

Je ne ressens pas de la pression venant de mon entourage, mais plutôt, parfois, un manque de respect envers mes intérêts. Les personnes plus âgées ont souvent tendance à discréditer les sciences humaines au profit des sciences dites pures, en croyant que les sciences humaines ne sont pas de véritables sciences et que les seules sciences valables sont la chimie, la physique et la biologie. D’où je viens, en Europe de l’Est, la santé mentale est toujours un tabou et le métier de psychologue n’est pas une fierté parce la croyance populaire prétend qu’on soigne « les fous ». Je trouve ça vraiment dommage comme mentalité et quand j’y pense trop longtemps, ça me rend triste. Au début, lorsque je recevais des moqueries de membres de ma famille éloignée ou des amis de mes parents, je ripostais en défendant mes intérêts, mais j’ai compris que ça ne servait à rien que leurs idées étaient préconçues et figées, et maintenant je ne fais qu’ignorer les commentaires de ce genre. Je me dis que l’important c’est que je fais ce que j’aime, que je le fais en ayant de bonnes intentions, que cela respecte mes valeurs et qu’à la fin de la journée, je suis fière de moi. Le reste m’importe peu maintenant !

7. Est-ce que vous ressentez de la pression concernant votre performance académique ?

Oui définitivement et même beaucoup plus que nécessaire. La cote de rendement (cote R) qui nous départage au Cégep et qui nous donne le résultat supposé de nos capacités n’est ni réaliste ni adéquate. Pour te donner une idée, deux personnes inscrites au dans le même programme d’études pourraient avoir exactement les mêmes résultats, mais avoir des cotes R complètement différentes, dû à un indice de force différent, selon leur groupe et leur cégep. La cote R en deuxième année rend fou et engendre une quantité de stress tellement grande que ça devient problématique pour beaucoup d’entre nous, moi y comprise. Les gens sont avares avec leurs notes et certains refusent même de l’entraide par peur que ça fasse remonter la moyenne du groupe et finisse par les désavantager. Je n’ai jamais compris cette mentalité et c’est une autre des raisons pour lesquelles je ne suis pas allée en sciences de la nature, qui est le programme le plus compétitif puisqu’il mène à la médecine. Les parents qui n’ont pas été au Cégep ici, dont les miens, ne comprennent pas cette réalité et croient qu’au contraire, puisque j’ai de plus longues pauses qu’au secondaire, ça me permet d’étudier davantage alors que pas du tout. J’ai toujours été studieuse et pris mes études avec beaucoup de sérieux, alors mes parents ont été habitués à ce que j’aie des notes très hautes et me le font clairement comprendre lorsque ce n’est pas suffisamment haut à leur goût. Combiné à tous les autres facteurs et problèmes de ma vie, ça devient en effet rapidement un important poids sur mes épaules.

8. Sentez-vous de la pression de la part de la société concernant votre choix de carrière ?

Malheureusement, oui. Il y a beaucoup de stéréotypes et de préjugés encore présents au Cégep, qui peuvent influencer négativement le parcours scolaire. La société et les gens se contredisent sur plusieurs aspects et en tant qu’étudiante, j’essaie de me conformer à la majorité, mais c’est compliqué. Par exemple, tout le monde s’entend pour dire que c’est normal de ne pas savoir dans quoi poursuivre ses études après seulement 2 ans, mais, d’un autre côté, rester trop longtemps au cégep c’est mal vu. J’aurais le droit d’être indécise, mais pas trop non plus. Je peux prendre une pause si je n’ai vraiment aucune idée, au lieu de gaspiller de l’argent sur un programme universitaire que je sais que je vais abandonner, mais je dois travailler entre temps sinon c’est comme si j’étais paresseuse. C’est correct de couler un cours ou d’en abandonner un avant la date limite, mais il ne faudrait pas que je le dise trop haut parce que c’est gênant. Les autres vont croire que je suis incapable. L’étudiant qui a un rêve en tête, mais qui n’a pas d’emploi afin de se concentrer sur ses études pour avoir de bonnes notes, mais il va se faire montrer du doigt par celui ayant de mauvaises notes, mais qui a déjà un emploi étudiant. Malgré toutes les campagnes, les publicités et les beaux discours, selon moi, la société ne valorise pas l’intelligence collective, l’entraide et le dépassement, mais plutôt la persévérance académique dans le seul objectif de faire le plus d’argent possible. Plus ton métier est reconnu comme « nécessaire » à la société, plus elle va mettre la lumière sur celui-ci en vantant ses mérites. Si ta carrière est plutôt quelque chose d’abstrait, d’indéfini, alors tu es laissé à toi-même. Être médecin, notaire, avocat, enseignant, c’est génial, mais éboueur, travailleur de la construction, mécanicien, préposé aux bénéficiaires, c’est moins intéressant. Bref, c’est pourquoi j’aime voir la société comme un cercle et non comme une pyramide, car dans le cercle tout le monde est interdépendant et tout le monde a la même position, tandis que dans une pyramide ce n’est qu’une faible proportion de gens qui profitent de tous les bénéfices et de la lumière des projecteurs.
