Sink In

Usual routine for high school students is to roam around and laugh with the group after a long and busy day at school. More pressure to us because we were seniors and we got to balance our time at heavy paper works and also dance practices for the incoming variety show. For us to temporarily escape from those, we decided to chill out at the park. But since our dance instructor is very strict to even yell at us to go home when he sees us roaming at the street, we took a very adventurous but risky routine, the river. The water at that river is not that high that it doesn't even touched our knees, it's an ankle level. We were busy chatting how silly we are while crossing that river. There is this stepy, narrow stairs to climb up the barrier of the river in order for us to reach the shortcurt to the park. The water this time ate the bottom of the stairs isn't at ankle level, it's in waist level. For us not to get wet, we need to step a rock to get in  the stairs. My friends got up and I am the last one. When it was my turn, I got slipped and guess what, I am all sinked in the water with all my friends laughing at me how clumsy I am. Being embarrassed is really an adventure for me. Here's a tip when you meet sudden situations like mine. Don't ever put your slippers on.

An Inspirational Story

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qTiYA1WiY8

1.) The main message of the video is that, eventhough you are disabled, God has better gifts for you. You may not have the gift of sight or the ability to walk, but you have the talent to play musical instruments and you have a great dad. A family that supports you no matter what happens or what the situations is, disability is never a factor to stop one's capabilty.

2.) I am really inspired. Having a dad like that means a lot. Protecting you when things go wrong, supporting you to every situations that comes along. But one thing that enlighted me is that despite of having disability he never stopped and lost hope of achieving his dreams. Something that only few human beings possess.

3.) I am not as talented as Patrick Henry Hughes but I can also be an inspiration to others. I belong to a broken and extended family but it never is a reason to stop me reach my goals. Even how many dump of failures I get, I don't count it that way. Failures never exist, only delayed success. And I am very lucky to have a mom, who raised me for 16 years alone. She never gets tired of feeding me despite of my being rebelious sometimes. She never complains. I think that is something to brag about. Being alone doesn't mean alone all the time, only at times when things should be conquered and done alone.

Maturity

Maturity is a psychological term used to indicate how a person responds to the circumstances or environment in an appropriate manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive, and is not determined by one's age. Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to act appropriately, according to the situation and the culture of the society one lives in.

#3 I stop to say Thank you to Mom and Dad

            This new era, a world full of various traditions, traits, cultures and beliefs, only few knew what the real value of the family is. As what I have noticed, the respect and the essence of a family is not well-practiced by today’s generation. Some learns how to respect elders but mostly don’t know how. They thought everybody’s standing is equal, fair and no one is superior. They forgot that elders are the boss and the youth are the workers.

                In every family, there’s a father, mother and a child. The child should learn how to appreciate and respect whatever the decision of the father and mother is, but now it turns out that the child’s decision should be followed. They mocks if whatever they want won’t be given to them and they became rebellious. And these loving parents give everything for the happiness of their child. Don’t they know that everything in a family should be balanced? Everything should be under control according to their roles.

                As a responsible child, you should learn how to respect, accept and learn what your parents are feeding you. We can’t blame children for being who they are right now, their role models are their parents, and everything the parents does, are the things the child do. In my case, after I graduate college and I became completely responsible and independent. I would never ever forget what my parents did for me to achieve this goal. After 10 years, I would still honor, value, accept, respect and listen to whatever they say and serve it as my inspiration. How could I ever forget the one’s who’s always been there for me when the world turns their back on me?

                Words aren’t enough to show your gratitude to your parents. Sometimes, saying “Thank you” in front of them is what ever wanted to hear, but for me? The best thing that I could ever do to thank them is to have good grades, excel in academics, be faithful to God, be a good girl and be obedient to them. It may be very simple but with the aid of love and faith in you, nothing is impossible.

                I may not sound sweet and true, but this is what I want to say “I love you Mom. I miss you Dad.”

#2 All in One: Reading and Writing

      Reading enhances our minds, writing develops our ideas and thinking is the prime category which involves everything.

      A good writer and reader were never good at first try. I’m neither a good writer nor a good reader, but I can consider myself as an average. Why? Simply because, I can’t determine what is good and what is not. Being a good writer requires a lot of things. It needs a lot of deliberation, it consumes a lot of time and it drains your ideas. It’s a good thing though, to transmit your ideas to others. But you should also make sure that they would like it, they would relate to it, or else you can’t consider yourself a good writer at all. And me, I can fluently write and expose my ideas to some who are willing to listen, but I’m not pouring all the water to a cup with a small hole. I’m setting aside the remaining water for those thirsty cups. They need the water better than those cups with holes. Gaining the crowd is a rigid thing to do. You need confidence and thoughts to grasp their attention. But in the closing stages, I am the only one who knows what I’m doing and the rest of the assess depends on the audience.

#1 My Mission in Life

Everyone’s perspective is to succeed in life. No one ever wanted to be left behind. Each and every day they work hard for it, for they knew they’ll make the best out of it. Even newborns have missions to be fulfilled, how much more a person like me? I always wanted to pursue the mound of dreams I piled to a mountain of fulfilments I dreamed.

                Ever since the beginning of history, mankind has its mission. A mission that needs fulfilment for its completion. Have you ever wonder why you’re here? Why living an earthly life? Yes? Me too.

                When I was a kid, my reigning dream is to make my parents smile and free themselves from stress. The only thing that I was thinking back then, is to make everything the best out of it. But when I grew what I am now, I started to think how I should live my life. What really is my mission? What is God’s purpose of having me here? I came to realize how important my life is. As I thought, everyone’s mission is as important as their lives. We need to buckle up our seats and enjoy the quest. Facing forward; proud and confident, I need to occupy myself with thoughts applicable to my life. My mission is to look through what is missing in me and what could I possibly do to my colleagues. I believe my whole being is lacking with thoughts and gestures. I still need to learn more. I need to enhance myself as I walk my path through life. I need to work hard for it, for it sustains me to be become well. It is the groundwork of my dreams to fulfil my mission.

                Exerting effort to attain something, is as hard as removing a mountain to make it plain. I need to conjure myself to accomplish my dreams. But, like the process of making the mountain to a plain, it takes time and patience. Slowly remove the things that blocks your way. Don’t let anything or anyone withstand you from pursuing it. Wait and see how time, patience and perseverance lead you to your path. The path you ever wanted. The path God wants you to see. The thing He wanted you to pursue. He is the only one who could help you achieve the thing you always wanted.

                Missions are of different fields. The field of education, the mission to finish schooling and educate one’s self; the field of interest, interest to do something with your own will and thoughts; the mission to love, serve and live with no regrets. But the best field of all missions is the field of knowing. Knowing where you came from, what is your purpose, to whom will you offer it and to know who is your source. You? Have known who that is? Let me tell, God is. The source of everything we have and everything we might have. Work and mold yourself to become worthy of everything He has given you. Move and He’ll lead you the path.
