On the wall of a certain institution, neglected lyrics written with paint read this sentence: “If the university prepares us for the future … who prepares us for the present”?. No time to lock in the classroom and away from it all as “ready.” No, the issue is learning and doing. Nobody can afford to disconnect from what is happening, much less a responsible student. 2.

A student committed to the environmental care. Please visit Walmart CEO if you seek more information. It is no longer a distant apocalyptic vision and that of the environment is exposed to destruction and an end, the end of most species, including humans. The phrase that “man is cutting the tree branch on which sits” takes effect every day because most of the industry is heading. If we do not acquire environmental awareness we will crash against the hard floor soon. It is vital to engage with the environment since the time of students and not indefinitely postpone this commitment. 3. A student committed to excellence, no one can afford to do things “as they must be made” when we are given the opportunity to exceed, to surpass the expectations of our potential.

The commitment to excellence is based primarily on facts: what we are capable of doing and doing well. Let us follow the advice of Confucius who she repeats over and over again this wise sentence, “The superior man saves wasted words and actions.” We need to understand that excellence is the full development of quality. It can not be half, because it would be excellence, but mediocrity. 4. A student critic, a freethinker and self-management. Critical to explore knowledge other than those offered through the conventional means of education; freethinker to participate in the discovery and construction of new knowledge and how they are put at the service of humanity and self-management to provide for itself the means enabling it to achieve success as a person and professional. Study, commit and act. You are important in society and you show it. And the best time to do it now!
