Reflection About Being a Sillimanian and the Mental Aspect of a Person

1. What is a Sillimanian?

Being able to study in one of the prestigious schools—Silliman University is not solely the factor of being a Sillimanian. What makes us distinguishable and distinct from others is our flaming Sillimanian spirit. It is evident to us that we always consider and incorporate the Christian teachings to our respective field of study. Aside from that, a Sillimanian is open and diverse on how everyone expresses themselves. You do not need to worry for you will be respected. And lastly, a Sillimanian is aware of his/her surroundings. A Sillimanian will speak for what is upright and moral and cares for the future of the nation.

2. What do you think about the mental aspect of a person?

The mental aspect of a man, for me, is complex. It consists of different parts that are interconnected. It includes our thoughts, experiences, influences, and activities. We sometimes associate our thoughts, mind, and brain to our mental aspect. Since our brain is the control center of our body, it tells what activities we will do. The kind of activities we do affect our mental aspect such as if we engage in activities that exercises our mind, it will improve our critical or analytical thinking skills. There are also external factors that impact our mental aspect. The experiences we had and the direct influences from other people will most likely aid in shaping how we think.
