Lasallian Leadership Journey
I spent my weekend in De La Salle Zobel because of L2J (Lasallian Leadership Journey) which is a 4-day, 3-night formation.
When I got to the venue, it felt as if it will take forever til I get back home. The mood was different and it bothered me. I felt uneasy being surrounded by new faces and I honestly thought I was not going to enjoy. Flash forward to day 4, I did not want to leave the place yet. This amazing journey had, with all honesty, made a great impact on me. I have realized so much in such a short span of time. Faith is the courage to accept acceptance. Faith is also about Love. It is about loving yourself for who you are, and loving others for who they are - having faith in God that He lead you to the right people at the right place and the right time. L2J enlightened me on how I should interact with other people. It showed me the importance of genuine concern and action.
Although we have a long weekend, I deliberately chose to join L2J and I did not regret doing so. “Whatever happened is the only thing that could.” I should keep that in mind in order to avoid dwelling on the “what ifs”. So many things have been happening all around us. People are taking away their own lives and it is stirring up the whole community. I do not want these deaths to be in vain. I need to take action. We need to take action. I believe that L2J has provided me the opportunity to do so. I will continue what I started doing because of this experience. I am determined to be an agent of change.
