“It is never too late to do what you might have been.” -George Eliot
As for me being a student, son and an individual, I have my own achievements, my respective responsibilities and goals. What keeps me motivated is by always reading and reminding myself with this bible verse taken from Philippians 4:13 which says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. This verse has guided me in everything that I do.
In my 16 years of existence, my biggest achievement was by far being an alumni of “PYLP” or “Philippine Youth Leadership Program”. I was indeed excessively happy when I knew that I passed that program. Out of 300 applicants all over Mindanao who applied and hoped to pass, I was one of the chosen 24 Youth Leaders who will represent and will be sent to United States of America for 4 weeks and will be participating seminars and workshops on how to be a good leader for, yes you knew it, FOR FREE. Let’s say that it was my big break as a young leader and advocate.
Another achievement that I got was when our school was hailed as the over-all champion of DSPC 2015. From radio broadcasting (whom I joined in), collaborative desktop publishing and feature writings, we bagged the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. We we’re very happy that time knowing that with all our efforts and teamwork, we won as champions.
“A great leader comes with a great responsibility.”
Responsibilities are often present in every human life. As a son and a citizen, I have plenty of responsibilities. I am responsible for myself, for taking care of my grades and studies and of course, responsible for loving my family. I am responsible in everything that I do whether it is inside and outside of the school and house. Following rules and signs in the streets are also my responsibility. By having discipline within myself, I can honestly and faithfully follow rules and regulations.
I also have my goals in life. One of them is to be an Entrepreneur and to be a Multimedia Director. I always wanted to sell goodies, stuffs and foods and act like a businessman since the day. It was also my hobby and became my lifetime dream to capture and record perfect moments, edit and share them to the whole world. In fact, I made my own Youtube account and post some of my works, (https://www.youtube.com/user/gampo18). But, in order for me to accomplish these, I need to study hard, focus and always be positive. I also have a goal in my education and personal/wellness. For my education, I really want to pass all of my academic subjects and graduate with flying colors. I will do all my best to study regularly and do all my home works. To my personal/wellness as well, I want to achieve that #BodyGoals in my self. I am so big since I was a kid up to now. Exercising regularly and eating healthy and nutritious food will be my steps in aiming for this goal. And if given a chance to rate and give percentage in reaching my goals, I will give myself a 50%. For me to accomplish these goals of mine, I will be needing motivations from other people and calm environment. There are things that stop me in achieving these like peer-pressures, temptations and worldly things. But, Prayer, Determination and Focus are the key to solve these problems. Someday, I will be successful and be contented in my life with the help of the one Up Above.
