Daring to dream
“I learned the first important lesson in my life – to DARE DREAM! Perhaps we should inspire our students to look up at the stars before the world entices them with mud.” – Dr. Onofre Pagsanghan* (In a speech delivered on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of the National Convention of the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines and as published in the 7 October 2006 column ”At 3:00 A.M.” of Fr. James B. Reuter at the Philippine Star entitled: “The thoughts of a teacher”)
*At 79 years old, Mr. Pagsi (as he is fondly known to his students, their parents and peers in the academic community) is a high school teacher par excellence of the Ateneo de Manila University since 53 years ago.
