On February 28, 2010, Dynamic Teen Company hosted the College Preparation Seminar, dubbed Survivor Ako!, at the Club8586 Center. It catered to third and fourth year high-school students coming from different high schools in the Cavite City area.

In line with its namesake, the seminar fed students’ minds with valuable information that’d help them survive college, hopefully, with flying colors. Timely, is what could be said of the program, especially with many students still undecided about what college course to take or where to study.

The group was blessed by the presence of two speakers. Mr. Dann Ray Alvarez and Engr. Ariane Calupe, both having their own success stories, discussed key decisions needed to be made in ensuring a good college life. Among the most important if not the most important emphasis given was of the need to allow the Lord Almighty to guide us in our endeavours.

The program came to its climax, with the students receiving God’s Gift through mass evangelism. Indeed, the mood differed when it came to this point. The students’ restlessness and vigour arising from the games they participated in the program were replaced by a deep solemnity after the evangelism took place.

There is of course an uncertainty to how many truly accepted Christ as their Saviour. Identifying who among those present were indeed engaged in the “acceptance” was an impossibility. Still, for those who did receive the blessing, it was a point of no return. A good one, that is. With God now sitting on the throne in each of their hearts, decisions like what choices to take in going to college would no longer be marred by selfish and worldly desires. Instead, they would now be driven by the yearning to serve the Lord.
