STI’s storyteller of the year

September 12, 2007

A sophomore Computer Science student proved himself  to be called a good storyteller in the campus this year. Bobby Alberca, showed off his best this time in the story telling contest, held at the Audio-Visual room last August 29,2007. He was chosen  to be the best among other contestans, based from the criteria used by the judges according to personality, the way they deliver the story, and its overall impact. Alberca was no doubt the best, due to his execellent skills in story telling as well as in speech communication skills .

According to Wikipedia,  storytelling is the ancient art of conveying events in words,images, and sounds. Stories have probably been shared in every culture and in every land as a means of entertainment, education, preservation of culture and to instill knowledge and values or morals. Crucial elements of storytelling include plot and characters, as well as the narrative point of view. Stories are frequently used to teach, explain, and or entertain. Less frequently, but occasionally with major consequences, they have been used to mislead. There can be much truth in a story of fiction, and much falsehood in a story that uses fact.
