"Coming
together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is
success." ~ Henry Ford
The
month of September is intended to remember Mother Mary. Aside from
that, it is also a time to bear in mind that we are made for the environment
and the environment is made for us. Thus, it is our obligation to be
a catalyst and advocate of environmental awareness. Stated in the
Presidential Proclamation No. 264 is the celebration of the National Science Club Month (NSCM), the Philippine Society
of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) on September with the theme “Chemergy:
Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy.”
Before anything else, may I state
how Chemistry grew like a flower that gives bliss to every individual who has
it. In the past centuries, there was a group of people who were trying to
experiment things that can uplift their living. These were the Alchemists. They
wanted to turn cheap metals into gold and make humans immortal. They were the
very first group of people who gave attention to CHEMISTRY. Because of this, we
now have what we call “ECONOMIC PROGRESS”. But, Chemistry cannot do it by
itself. Rather, it needs Science Clubbing in order to make work easier and
better.
As what the team SSG for
eternity says, “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!” It is very appropriate for any club to work
hand in hand in reaching a common goal. From the very beginning, the goal of
Chemistry is development. Development of food, infrastructures, jewelry, and
many other things related to what people want. But, the product of Chemistry
will be more polished and would be better if Science Club will offer its hand
in making things happen. We can uplift our status in life if we obtain and
exercise teamwork in everything we do. We must have synergy!
