How can I start a student club centered around Health policy and Advocacy?
I am a 300 level nursing student and I would live to start up a club centered around healthcare student getting involved in health policy, advocacy, health awareness, career development and innovations. Basically what the club is all about would be raising awareness among youth or healthcare students about health polices and governance, how they can use their voices to advocate for better healthcare structure. I don't want the club to just be only about discussion or theory but where people can provide practical solutions to problems, pitch realistic health policies and advocate for their various fields. Also I want the club to like a raw platform for students who are passionate about health governance. I want to know what are the first steps in getting this started, what are ways this can be achieved and how can student lee initiatives go out there and make their voices heard and how can we stay relevant even to our immediate students society.

What is the fastest way to get leadership roles/recognitions under 2 months?
I need 5 recognitions and 5 leadership roles for an application I've been eyeing for an MBA. What I can only do is volunteer in orgs for social media or anything they are in need of help. I am not in uni anymore. What can I do? How can I reframe this? Will anyone be willing to review my resume or career history? Does the recommendation letter person's "authority/title" matter? Also, currently actively seeking internships first before before jobs because I lack the experience and practical skillset. But I feel like I'm lowballing myself, considering I do have some experience, but it seems that the " unpaid internship" is too heavy for one person (marketing + analytics).

Is it really worth pursuing a career in the Creative Industries in the Philippines?
Literally just the question above, especially as someone who only has a year left before entering college, i've been weighing my decisions for courses and career decisions lately. I want to pursue Arts, that's for sure. I initially planned for Architecture but now I'm thinking of entering a college that offers Creative Industries Management, I learned more about myself thanks to my grade 11 experiences and recently too that I prefer leadership roles and art directions too. I like bringing other peoples' and mine's ideas to life. I like managing and also am in love with organizing and managing. But of course then again, it's the Philippines, yes we're rich in arts but we're also definitely not rich when it comes to economics, especially since there's still that common idea of arts having nowhere to go and how its path leads to no money and stable living at all.
As a student who is highly involved in leadership, academics, athletics, music, service, and communication, and who is interested in careers ranging from biomedical engineering and pediatric healthcare to psychology, PR, and marketing, how can I strategically determine which path genuinely aligns with my strengths, personality, purpose, and long-term fulfillment rather than just achievement or external success What experiences, habits, skills, and personal qualities should I focus on developing now to discern whether I am better suited for highly analytical STEM-based careers, people-centered service careers, or creative leadership-focused careers, while also avoiding burnout, maintaining strong character and faith, and positioning myself for meaningful impact and future success??

How do UP CFA and DLSU-CSB compare in terms of creative facilities and global networking for an aspiring arts leader?
Hello! I am a Grade 11 student from the Philippines currently deciding on my undergraduate path. I have a strong background in the arts and a passion for leadership roles. While I originally considered Architecture for its perceived stability, I am now focusing on programs that better align with my creative strengths and career goals. I am specifically looking at: UP Diliman: BFA Visual Communication DLSU-College of Saint Benilde: Multimedia Arts or Creative Industries Management I come from a family of UP alumni, so the legacy of the university is important to me. However, I am very interested in the Creative Industries Management program at CSB because it seems to bridge the gap between artistic practice and leadership. My main questions are: How do the facilities and technological assets (studios, software, labs) compare between UP and Benilde for creative students? Which university offers a more robust networking pipeline for students planning to take a Master of Arts or work in the creative industry overseas? I want to ensure my choice provides the right balance of technical training and global opportunities. Thank you so much for your time and insights!

What should I focus on more for my college applications: Internships or Extracurriculars ?
I am a 17 year old junior, and I am about to head into my senior year, and I know that internships are very helpful for gaining experience and showing professional development, which colleges sometimes use to determine admission and scholarships; but I also know that extracurriculars help showcase who you are and they help tell your story better, which colleges like using when viewing your overall application through holistic review. So, I am not sure which to pursue more.
