"𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑠."

Seeing what's the underneath weren't that easy — as not all smiles signifies happiness, and not all "I'm okay" is the truth — because it might be the contrast of their words.

We don't know what's behind of those closed jackets and heavy clothes, what's the reason behind those unusual vibes, and what's the loudest cries through their silence and smiles.

Self-Harm can happen to anyone. Sometimes there isn't a single sign or a warning. Then it just blast because the pain becomes too heavy to carry alone. That's when we realize how much a person is struggling.

This 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙢 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝. Let's be reminded to check on our loved ones — families, friends, classmates, co-workers, or even strangers. Because a simple act of kindness and even right words — causes a powerful help to someone's journey of struggling or healing. Remember:

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱." – 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘴𝘺

Let’s rewind to a month ago 🌊
Last January 9, UMDC Senior High School students took on the 3rd Quarter HOPE Swimming Examination at the Davao del Sur Sports Center. The day was all about putting theory into action—showcasing skills in aquatics and freediving while emphasizing water safety, proper breath control, and confidence in the water. It was a meaningful experience that reminded everyone that knowing how to move, breathe, and stay calm in the water because it isn’t just for performance, but for safety and survival too. 💪🐬
