Sammy Basa ’25 traced his love for the ocean to a boat ride under a star canopy to Sibuyan Isl和. Basa recalled how the brisk wind cooled his face 和 how he 和 his mother dipped their feet into water that glowed with bioluminescence. 蓝色和绿色的闪光就像大海里的星星, 我们惊奇地看着他们消失在黑暗中,巴萨说。. “而那些闪光对年轻的我来说纯粹是魔法, they signified something profound—a deep-seated bond between my family, 我们的土地, 以及自然世界的奇迹.”
