Transformative Journeys: A Hospitality Student's Story at LCUP (Batch 2025)

Throughout the years, I’ve grown in so many ways — from gaining hands-on experience in the classroom to stepping out of my comfort zone during my International Internship. That opportunity allowed me to see the world from a new perspective, apply what I’ve learned in real-life settings, and realize just how far hard work and faith can take you.

Graduating as a Magna Cum Laude is something I still can’t fully believe. It wasn’t an easy road — there were long nights, setbacks, and moments of doubt — but with God’s grace and the love and support of my family, mentors, and friends, I made it through

At CITHM, I grew into someone who is resilient, capable, and passionate. I learned that hospitality is more than service; it’s about connection, care, and dedication. The mentorship of our faculty and the camaraderie of my fellow students helped shape me both personally and professionally. I didn’t just learn theories—I applied them. I didn’t just dream about working in hospitality—I lived it.

This chapter may be ending, but the journey is only beginning. I’m proud to be a graduate of La Consolacion University Philippines. And I’m even prouder to carry this victory not just for myself, but for everyone who walked this journey with me.

La Consolacion University Philippines has truly been my home — a place where I felt safe to grow, make mistakes, and discover who I am. Here, I didn’t just learn lessons from books; I learned about life, faith, and what it means to be a person for others.

This journey opened my eyes in so many beautiful ways. It made me see my own strengths and weaknesses with kindness. It taught me to be strong but gentle, competitive but humble, and always ready to serve with a heart that reflects the true spirit of a Consolanian.

I am deeply grateful for every teacher, every classmate, and every experience that helped shape me into who I am today. Thank you, LCUP, for being my second home — for guiding me not just academically, but spiritually and personally.

With all my heart, I will carry everything I have learned here as I step into the world, proud and thankful to say, “Once a Consolanian, always a Consolanian".

Choosing La Consolacion University Philippines – College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management (LCUP-CITHM) was one of the most defining decisions I’ve made for my future. From the beginning, I knew I wasn’t just entering a university—I was stepping into a family that values hands-on learning, professional excellence, and personal growth.

Throughout my journey, I immersed myself in various activities and experiences—from preparing dishes and handling service, to organizing programs and representing the college in events. These were not just academic exercises, but real-world simulations that allowed me to gain the skills, discipline, and confidence needed in the hospitality industry. I was not just taught—I was empowered.

La Consolation University Philippines is where my journey truly began and where I started to map out my life's goals. This institution was more than just a school—it taught me invaluable lessons. I not only gained knowledge but also significantly boosted my confidence. I could express myself without hesitation, knowing I was in a generous and supportive environment. It was at this school that I learned to be more independent and was allowed to demonstrate my faith and integrity.

The university contributed immensely to my academic and personal growth. I now know I am capable of achieving anything, as this school empowered me to share my abilities without being afraid. The professors were deeply committed; they consistently guided us and encouraged us, dedicating themselves to our individual improvement. I am so glad to be a part of the CITHM family.

I will continue to use the knowledge and values I acquired while studying at LCUP as I grow in my life outside of school, along with the wisdom and friendships I developed. I am incredibly thankful for everything I experienced during my four years at La Consolacion. It is a privilege to be a Consolanian. This school has become the foundation for my future.

La Consolacion University Philippines has helped me grow by allowing me to discover what I am truly capable of. It opened doors to opportunities I never expected and one of the biggest opportunities I received is the chance to be part of an international internship.

But as time went on, the experiences I gained and the guidance I received helped me become firm in my decisions and confident in the direction I want to pursue.

I am grateful to the professors who guided me in this journey, and to the community that provided a nurturing and faith-centered environment that strengthen my connection with God. The values I’ve learned and the friendships I’ve built will always be a part of me as I step forward into my career.

My journey at La Consolacion University Philippines was a truly memorable, challenging, and enriching experience. The course I took not only boosted my self-esteem, empathy, and compassion but these newfound strengths also helped me excel in internships and confidently navigate the world beyond campus. Most importantly, it fostered my connection with people – a fear I had always struggled with.

As a freshman, I thrived under the institution’s guidance. However, I soon found myself taking on the unexpected responsibilities of a leader, organizing tasks, managing conflicts and making informed decisions. I used to believe my own ideas were always best, preferring to work alone, but this university taught me to trust people, open up, and understand their perspectives.

La Consolacion University Philippines made me confront my fears, ultimately leading me to lead and deeply connect with diverse groups of people. I entered the university alone, but I left surrounded by countless individuals who profoundly contributed to my personal and professional growth.
