CMC NSTP Strengthens Resilience Through Second “Igniting Success” Session
Success is not built by avoiding challenges. It is built by
facing them, learning from them, and choosing to grow through them.
Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC), through the National Service
Training Program (NSTP), successfully conducted the second session of “Igniting
Success” on September 5, 2026, at With Love Jan, Nuangan, Kidapawan City,
bringing NSTP students together for a meaningful learning experience focused on
personal development, resilience, and readiness to overcome challenges.
Centered on “Growth Mindset,” the session emphasized that
abilities, skills, and intelligence can be strengthened through dedication,
continuous learning, effective strategies, and perseverance. Students were
encouraged to see challenges not as barriers, but as opportunities to learn,
improve, and discover what they are capable of becoming.
The session was facilitated by Mr. Mark Rey A. Ampuan, NSTP
Coordinator, who guided participants in understanding the difference between
fixed and growth mindsets. He highlighted how personal beliefs can influence
motivation, academic performance, decision-making, and the willingness to learn
from mistakes.
Throughout the discussion, students were encouraged to embrace
effort, respond positively to feedback, and remain persistent in difficult
situations. The activity reinforced a powerful lesson: setbacks do not define
potential. They can become stepping stones toward greater confidence,
competence, and achievement.
As the second session of Igniting Success, the activity
reflected NSTP’s continuing commitment to providing transformative learning
experiences beyond the classroom. It supported the development of students who
are resilient, reflective, disciplined, service-oriented, and prepared to
contribute meaningfully to their communities.
The session also connected growth mindset with leadership and
community service. Through continuous learning and self-improvement, NSTP
students strengthen their ability to address community needs, work effectively
with others, and serve with confidence, compassion, and determination.
The activity advanced SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being through
emotional resilience and positive self-belief, SDG 4: Quality Education through
lifelong and meaningful learning, SDG 5: Gender Equality through inclusive
opportunities for personal growth and leadership, and SDG 8: Decent Work and
Economic Growth through the development of adaptability, perseverance, and
future-ready competencies.
With Igniting Success, CMC reaffirmed its commitment to
developing learners who understand that success is shaped not only by what they
already know, but by the courage to learn, the discipline to persevere, and the
willingness to grow.
Every challenge carries a lesson. Every mistake creates an
opportunity. Every effort moves a student forward.
𝗖hoose CMC, where students are empowered to
rise beyond limitations, grow through experience, and become responsible
citizens and compassionate leaders ready to serve.
