“You think you’ve got it figured out, huh? You have no idea what life has in store for you.” Will you accept a random message request from a stranger? Most probably not right? But it happened, because if not then you won’t be reading this. Gillian Mamaclay of 4 BS Legal Management here in Ateneo surprised me by accepting my request. This person is also the current president of the Ateneo Student Exchange Council.

The experience really inspired her to do more and to serve others in any way that she can. She is really passionate about helping people see how much potential they have.

One of the greatest things she learned being a leader in ASEC as a leader is that “if you don’t trust in others or believe in what they can do you’re going to end up doing everything yourself.
