The similarity of why material management is both important in the laboratory and in my life is due to how it allows both to make sure that nothing goes to waste and that overstocking doesn’t occur.
Focusing on the laboratory, material management helps in all aspects, especially in making sure that all the things needed by the personnel and the customers are provided. For example, because material management gets you to recheck everything that has been used or not used, you will then be able to know if you need to order more or not. Not only that but you actually get to make sure that the materials that you need are just in time and you end up being able to prepare all the needed material that’s needed before it actually gets used. Furthermore, because you are able to track everything, the laboratory gets to avoid wasting money. Money is not wasted since you won’t be making sudden orders (which costs so much especially if you require it on the day) and you also won’t be making too many orders. The fourth reason why material management is important in the laboratory is because of how you get to ensure that your laboratory is maintaining its high-quality products because of how you maintain the materials that you have whether it is due on how you take care of it but also on what kind you purchase.
If we look at material management from the perspective of my life, it has actually been helping me to make sure that I know where all my things go (and this also actually helps in the laboratory). I am really prone to losing my things, so since New Year, I’ve started to start making sure that I keep track of where everything is. This not only helped me know the location of my things but also makes me know whether I need to buy more things or not. Next, material management also encouraged me to keep track of what I need to improve in regard to how I use my things like how I should budget them, and all since I’m prone to spend so much when it’s actually unnecessary. Moreover, material management has guided me to learn what things I actually need daily and what things I need to slowly start to let go of to avoid hoarding.
After listing down how important material management is in both my life and in the laboratory, I’ve slowly come to realize that the things I do in life are also actually similar to how I must work with my materials in the lab. In both cases, material management guides me to know of what I need, and how much I need, and avoid hoarding, spending too much, and even creating more unnecessary waste. Lastly, material management helps me avoid losing things and not knowing where it was placed. Thus, material management is something no one should take for granted as it greatly impacts our overall function on how we make use of the things around us.

As examinations are almost ending, I’d like to share this verse which I’ve been incorporating into my prayers:
“Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.”

Whole Person Education: The Goals and the Challenges is an article highlighting Dr. Ben Malayang III’s interview about Whole Person Education
GE 10 – DD
Reflection:
After reading the interview with Dr. Ben S. Malayang III in the article “Whole Person Education: The Goals and the Challenges”, I’ve come to realize that he wanted us students to be more than who we are. Dr. Malayang ought for us to be visionaries who can be and see what is beyond what others could. However, it does not mean that we would turn into people who would think that we are number one but rather become whole people due to the Christian Faith that we have. With that being said, Dr. Malayang emphasizes that the United Board would be able to ensure that this “Whole Person Education” could be greatly incorporated within our curricula by helping our institution push to have curriculums circling this topic. I believe that this is actually quite a smart way since it would then lead to making the United Board visit the university for accreditation to check if it is indeed incorporated and since they would have to visit, then the institution has to ensure that this has already influenced the curriculums present.Yet, as a student, I still think that changing students into a “Whole Person” with the definitions used by Dr. Malayang is quite challenging considering that the school is a mixing pot of different minds. I have even noticed how some students have disregarded the Christian faith or their religious faith in general. I have noticed students who did terrible things to survive in school. I have noticed students who threw away their dignity and value for the sake of having their wants. And so with all that observed, I believe that the institution really has to strengthen its methods in making the students “whole person”. The institution must find a way to really be able to touch the hearts of the students most especially the ones who have grown apathetic due to the difficulties life has made them witness.
From what I know based on observations, Whole Person Education is a class that teaches us values and principles that we need to attain as we grow for us to be able to have a basis on what we must do in our day-to-day life especially as we work with other people in completing tasks as well as in helping improve status quo. With that being said, I believe that through this class we will be enriched with lessons regarding our university and the values and principles it follows for us to be able to fully act as to what a true Sillimanian should be and should do.
