We all knew that there’s an end to our URock experience. We won’t be there forever. WE WOULD HAVE TO GRADUATE.

I feel privileged to

be given a chance to be part of URock. I’m aware that there are a whole lot of others who would love to be part of the program but, unfortunately, were not a given a chance to be. I was given a chance to be

part of the production team. In the whole of my stay, I’ve came to realize that not everyone can be an Academon just like not everyone can be a Jock. There were originally 10 Academons and, at the end of the

season, there were 2 of us left. The thing is, the other 8 weren’t kicked out of the program. They refuse the job an Academon does. I’ve got a feedback from an Academon before saying that it wasn’t really an experience one would

benefit from. But I just proved that person wrong.

I’d like to say that this is all a matter of perspective.

An Academon’s job description is given the same week he/she was notified about his/her

admission. Everything the Academon has to do is written there in the email the associate producer sends. But here’s the catch, no one will actually give you deadlines to do it. No one

will order you to do what YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH. Other’s quit because they don’t see any value on what they do. But I did.

URock gave me the venue for

meeting new people and getting to know myself better. I’ve learned to be flexible and got exposure on different radio procedures. I know now what it’s like to produce a show. URock has widen my horizon.

And what’s best about this, I’ve made friends whom I know I’ll be friends with even after URock.
