Thank God.
                With utmost pride and joy I present to you,
                reader, THE TERESIAN.
                ‘Gradients of Life: The Hues in Between’
                is  more  than  just  a magazine’s  theme.  As
                we approach the post-pandemic era, let’s
                embrace what we’ve lived through, be
                accepting and understanding of  the varied
                experiences that we’ve all had. Through this
                theme, I’d like to remind you that life is never
                to  be  defined  by  a  solid  hue.  The  beauty  of
                living lies in acknowledging and accepting
                that one’s sky may not always have the same
                blue  hue  as  another’s.  Nonetheless,  we  all
                are cohabitants under the same one. I hope
                this magazine succeeds as a manifestation of
                the Teresian spirit in supporting self growth
                as well as aiding that of others. And it was a
                journey as gratifying as it is relieving, to see
                this manifestation take physical form.
                And for that, I have many to thank.
