Diving into the vibrant world of neurodiversity, the BSN4B Group 4 successfully hosted their seminar entitled "𝘼 𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙢: 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙉𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙚𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙," last 18th of March 2026.

Our esteemed guest speaker, 𝙈𝙨. 𝙆𝙚𝙢 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙖, 𝙍𝙋𝙢, shared her invaluable expertise and deepened our understanding of the unique perspectives of neurodivergent children. She reminded us that: “𝘽𝙮 𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨, 𝙬𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙖 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙙.” We are deeply grateful for the wisdom she imparted.

This event would not have been possible without the support of the faculty of the College of Nursing. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to 𝙈𝙧. 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙤, 𝙍𝙉, 𝙈𝙨. 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙞 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙯, 𝙍𝙉, and 𝙈𝙨.

We would also like to acknowledge all of our sponsors, for your generous contribution and belief in our mission were essential in turning our vision into a reality.

Riding the wave of change, Nursingales, truly brought this seminar to life with their engagement and active participation. By diving deep into the discussion with open minds and a genuine curiosity for the nuances of neurodivergence, our student body showed just how committed they are to navigating the vast spectrum of holistic healing, accessibility and inclusivity.

As future nurses, let us remember that mental health advocacy is not just an elective but a core pillar of our nursing practice. By fostering empathy and understanding for neurodivergent individuals, we provide more holistic and compassionate care for all.

Humanity called and Arwen, Daniel and Dannah answered.

They had every reason to look the other way. They had classes to attend to, they had the sweltering sun at 1PM to contend with, they had the very human excuse of simply not wanting to be bothered by the troubles of a stranger.

But they chose the opposite.

They bothered. They minded. They acted.

Last April, these three students performed a heroic act for a total stranger. They did not just do the bare minimum, they stayed by the patient’s side until they reached the hospital, leaving only when they were certain she was safe and comfortable. Their actions echo the Gospel story of the Good Samaritan the man who did not just stop to help but took full responsibility for a stranger's recovery.

Arwen, Daniel, and Dannah are nursing students a step away from graduation. Perhaps they saw this as an opportunity to practice their craft. Perhaps kindness has simply become their second skin. Or perhaps, it was the value of interiority the rare ability to see themselves in others, and to see God in a stranger. That is something that cannot be taught in a classroom or measured on a grading sheet.

It is not easy to go out of our way for someone we do not know. It could have been any of us in that position but it was these three who took the high road.
For responding to the call of being humane and for reminding us what it truly means to care, actually care.

Let the good deeds of Arwen, Daniel and Dannah serve as more than just a story we applaud today in this simple commendation ceremony. Let them be a mirror for all of us.

In a world that often encourages us to mind our own business and keep moving Baste challenges us to
Not look away, when we see a need, let it 'bother' us whenever we see a stranger in distress and recognize our own humanity in them.

To the rest of the San Sebastian College-Recoletos de Cavite community: you don't need a diploma or a grade to be a hero we simply need the courage to stop. May we all, especially our future healthcare leaders in the College of Nursing, carry this 'second skin' of goodness. Let us live out our mission by taking the high road whenever humanity calls.

In the spirit of our patron, St. Augustine, who taught us that 'our life and our death are with our neighbor,' let us pray that we never grow indifferent to the world around us.

May the example of Arwen, Daniel, and Dannah remind us that true Scientia, the knowledge we gain in these halls, is only made perfect when it is driven by Caritas the selfless love that reaches out to the those most in need.

Bravo Arwen!
Bravo Daniel!
Bravo Dannah!
Bravo Baste!
