Loving Human Ecology...

I am currently taking up BS Human Ecology in the University of the Philippines Los Baños. I have always thought that I am wrongly placed in the course I am taking up right now. First, it is not really my interest. Second, it is not my field of expertise. And third, I have other options. But then this is the course that I passed in the university.

Whenever I was asked what my course is, people would always ask what it's about. At first, I am also wondering like them. I was like a stranger in my own world. But having been introduced with basic concepts, I was able to have a grasp what Human Ecology is.

Now that I'm in my senior year, I have already appreciated Human Ecology. Indeed, Human Ecology is a multidisciplinary field. Basically, it deals with the study of interaction and relationship between human and the environment. Thus, there is a need to have basic concepts concerning other fields like Biology, Demography, Sociology, Anthropology, Nutrition and other sciences. Being a human ecology in the making, I have been exposed in the field. We were not just confined in the four corners of the classroom. We deal with the community. We were given a chance to have first hand experience on our field.

These experiences have let me appreciate my course more. I have learned a lot of important things in life in human ecology. Indeed, we are here to serve the people.
