RIZAL IN ATENEO

Rizal was sent to study in Manila by his parents in 1872. And he did just that. He enrolled at
Ateneo Municipal. Rizal was discriminated against by his classmates and professors, primarily
because he had little knowledge of Spain and also because he was from Calamba, Laguna. He
was also a late enrolee, which made things even worse. Despite the negative events that occurred
during this time, he also had positive experiences. The Jesuits taught them about the educational
system, including things like discipline, character development, and religious instruction. As a
result, he learned the true value of education in a person's life, as well as the importance of
remaining strong in the face of adversity. He also went through hispanization, which improved
his Spanish skills over using his native Filipino language. "To the Filipino Youth," he wrote. In
his poem, he enlightened the readers about the truth - that Filipinos must stand and be proud of
who they are, rather than being slaves to someone else. He also mentioned the famous quote that
our nation's youth are its hope. Finally, he expressed his gratitude to God and praise for our
country's youth, saying that no matter where he goes, he will always be proud of Filipino youth.
