Stallion presents this school year’s LitFolio, a collection of poems, short stories, blogs, photos, artworks and products of creative outlets in general.

This year, Stallion has chosen the theme of travel and its parallelisms to life. Accordingly, we give it the title En Route, meaning on the way during a journey headed towards a destination.

All our lives are journeys with a myriad of experiences and emotions, both positive and negative, which Stallion wishes to highlight through the production of En Route.

As such, we have divided the journey into three categories.

Departure - This is the beginning of a journey, its first steps. The point of departure brings to fore a traveler’s mixed bag of anticipated and unexpected emotions - anxiety, excitement, worry, eagerness, unease, enthusiasm, caution, and interest. It is letting go and saying goodbye to the mundane and the familiar. Departure is where all preparations cease and is the onset into the  unknown.

Transit - This is the journey itself, the twists and turns that one personally encounters teeming with life’s lessons experienced first hand. The transit hands to the traveler the realities of love, pain, friendship, betrayal, family, solitude, promises, sadness, and happiness. Through the gift of transit, emotions that were merely thought of during and prior to departure are now lived. But in transit, what was once planned has become fruition. By living the transit, what were once concepts have become realities.

Arrival - This is the end of the journey, its final steps. While transit allows the traveler the gift of experience, arrival grants the traveler to pause and process all he has experienced during transit, the fulfillment of hopes, wishes and promises, acceptance, satisfaction in deeds, inner peace and more importantly, the discovery of oneself in the process. It is achieving our destinations and coming full circle. Arrival is the affirmation of the traveler’s survival, strength, endurance, healing and recovery from the journey.

We invite everyone, including faculty and staff to contribute to this creative compilation. Like last year, the use of pseudonyms are accepted.
