In the captivating realm of genetics, where we delve into the mysteries of our DNA, we uncover an unexpected connection to one of our most basic human emotions: fear. Genetics, at its core, is the study of heredity, tracing how traits are passed from one generation to the next, and revealing the secrets hidden in our genetic code that define our very existence.
You might be wondering how this links to fear. The answer lies in the intricate dance between genetics and our emotional journeys. While genetics can influence our inherent tendencies, it's also about the bonds we create and the dreams we share. Within The UPLB Genetics Society (GeneSoc), these fears move beyond biology to touch the essence of what it means to be part of this unique community.
In GeneSoc, the fears we are about to explore are not tied to our genes, but to shared experiences, dreams, and human connections. Though these fears may seem daunting at first, they are, in reality, the seeds of positivity and growth that drive this academic organization to flourish.
Now, let us dive into what some of our resident members, fondly known as Genes, fear:
For Gia (Batch Resistome), her greatest fear is graduating without making a lasting impact on the organization. Witnessing the outstanding efforts and significant contributions of her fellow members and alumni has heightened her sense of duty to leave her mark. Instead of feeling pressured, this fear inspires her, as she draws motivation from the collaborative spirit that unites GeneSoc. Together, they support each other academically and emotionally, fostering a deep sense of belonging.
Meanwhile, Justin (Batch Crypton) grapples with a different fear, one rooted in the inevitability of goodbyes. Over his nearly four years in GeneSoc, he has forged deep connections with incredible people. Yet, the fleeting nature of undergraduate years often leads to farewells. His fear isn't merely about parting, but about the hope of reunions with friends and the desire to bid farewell with smiles instead of tears. This fear underscores the lasting impact of the connections cultivated within GeneSoc.
On a related note, Jaka's (Batch Amelogenin) fear revolves around not fulfilling her responsibilities as a resident member and falling short of others' expectations. Her initial doubts about joining GeneSoc and navigating its array of activities have transformed into a beautiful journey. The warm embrace and unwavering support from fellow resident members proved her initial misgivings wrong, offering a profound sense of belonging and guidance. This fear has evolved into a wellspring of strength and determination.
Lastly, Igna's (Batch Resistome) fear centers on the idea that her time with senior resident members will be cut short. She was warmly welcomed into the GeneSoc family by senior members, swiftly feeling at home. Her fear is that, as the senior members graduate, she will lose her first GeneSoc family, the Ate's and Kuya's who have provided unwavering comfort and support. Rather than succumbing to this fear, she draws inspiration from it, committing to becoming a source of warmth and support for future GeneSoc members.
In GeneSoc, fear isn't a barrier to overcome; it's a driving force for personal growth, unity, and shared aspirations. These fears, even though they may appear negative at first, are the very energies that keep the organization vibrant and thriving. They symbolize the strength, unity, and resilience of GeneSoc members and offer a powerful lesson for all of us in confronting our own fears with courage and determination.
Through shared experiences, dreams, and the positive transformation of these fears, GeneSoc exemplifies not only scientific excellence but also the spirit of a close-knit community. When these fears are unveiled, they reveal the camaraderie that propels its members forward, embodying the moral purpose, sound reasoning, and influential power that define the heart of the UPLB Genetics Society.
