Search-In Circle 4

The first batch of 3rd year students this school year finished the Search-In retreat Circle 4 last Aug. 1 - 3, 2008. A special thanks to Ms. Ging Graham, and fellow Search-Inners of St. Scholastica's Academy batch 1986 Tashie Fuentebella-Sales and Ann Gregorio-Carmona and La Salle Search-Inner Mafi Segovia for helping fund the meals of some of the farm kids who couldn't afford the retreat fee.

I consider the Search-in retreat one of my most unforgettable experiences. It was a 3-day recollection, with lots of activities done, and in each of them, many lessons were preciously valued. In this experience, I had learned to trust other people. This is were we developed a better relationship with our fellow students and understood them better. We made lots of discoveries not only about ourselves, but most importantly about God. We had grown more matured and had learned to look on the positive side. The search-in retreat had taught us to appreciate ourselves and to be true to ourselves. Having this retreat is a privilege for we all know that not all people could have undergone this. But the most important thing of all, this experience helped us find what we are searching for ------ and He is God! Jeremy Deogracias, Big Sister of Circle 4
