Determining worth

It is not about how you judge things, but how you see it.

              Two years ago when I was still a Nursing student, I took NSTP class and to be honest, at first, I, I mean we, all thought that the National Service Training Program is a waste of energy, especially when you have Human Anatomy and Physiology at the same time. Some of us expect boring things to happen, instead of going to school we rather choose to review for our major subject. First impression is important, but everything deserves a SECONDS CHANCE, even I deserve a second chance.

            The first meeting I was not able to attend due to a fever that is caused by my period. I was very disappointed because that is the time where I can escape to reality and live my dreams in a simplest way. Art is some how my passion. For me, decorating is not only sharing your talent and ideas, but it is also about sharing HOW COLORFUL YOUR LIFE IS. I became more disappointed because it's not about the grades or the attendance but helping others in the easiest way you can. The second meeting, we are tasked to buy gifts for the children on the upcoming Christmas party, but sad to say I was not allowed to go to Divisoria for safety reasons. I know how dangerous out there, so I did not think questioning my mom's decision. Mother knows best.   

            The Christmas party! I was very excited because Christmas party is one of the highlights of December. When I was a child, I thought Christmas is waiting for Santa Claus for a box with something you want badly. But as I grew, I realized it's all about sharing your blessings and being together. That day, December 7, 2012 we are not just attending a party but we are the organizers. The other course that is scheduled with us is tasked for the lunch of the kids. Luckily for us, we are tasked to make them smile, enjoy and give love. That day, you can see how happy the children in Brgy. Jump. Even as we go, you can see their smile is still intact and saying thank you and hope us to be back. 

            Being 17 years young, a college student, not working but was able to help is a good experience I will never forget. Chances are there not just to correct your mistakes, but to DETERMINE WORTH. Now, I realized NSTP is NOT A WASTE OF ENERGY BUT AN OPPORTUNITY .    .

Make changes

I will never forget anything..

                This is all about my life being an Angelican. It's been 3 years and I decided to share with you my journey; a lot of unforgettable memories that I used to laugh and cry when I remember. I will never forget each facilitator taught me and contributed to my learning especially Mrs. Nazal, Ms. Reynancia, Mrs. Sorita, Mrs. Bardenas, Mrs. Magsino and a lot more, my friends who make MY every day special to me, and to those haters out there 2 words and 1 finger. If you know what I mean!

                I enrolled myself in Angelicum last 2010 to be a YS-10 Home Study Program Learner and that time I knew what give up really mean. It became hard to me to manage my business and study at the same time, so I decided to enroll myself the next year still YS-10 but at the Regular Program. That whole year I didn't have the chance eto have social life because my business is based online. I just do shipping and I never had a chance to talk face-to-face to anyone most of the time.

                June 2011: I felt living in a box or having a wall against everyone because I forgot who I am. Am I really the person who loves to chat to anyone, to laugh at anything and to go anywhere or am I that person who is shy, have nothing to say and like living in a grounded life? NO SOCIAL LIFE, JUST SCHOOL TO HOME. I really don't know! I don't have any clue! I'm just so confused! I just accepted the fact that life turns and I am here living a life only by myself. My friends are gone. This is the time I need to live a life alone.

                After 7 months of survival our group activity the Investigatory Project came. BOOM! Everything switch! My sense of humor came back, I became talkative and I had a lot of friends. I don't know what happen, it's not a mystery because for me it's a blessings. They are blessings. 

                February 2012: It's the Prom month, so excited. In 3 days I will experience what magical evening they usually describe. I really felt the magic. At one night, I experience being a princess; my childhood dream. And the best part of it is having good time with my true friends. I just wished I maximize my ten months with them rather than wasting my seven months for a trash that until now I still regret.

                March 2012: Is this really good bye? No! No! No! After two months we will come back to school and enjoy each others company again. But I am wrong. June 2012: I am shocked when I knew there were new sections. Uh-oh! Am I at the bottom again? Back to zero? How do I start, again?

                And then time passed, January 2013: I am exerting a lot of  effort not just to graduate but to march on time. I can't believe I can do what I had done that all a long I know I can't. I AM ALWAYS WRONG! I am not perfect and I don't wish to be. Then I read "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" Ms. Reynancia required us to read. I am pressured before because I can't finish my modular activities because of all those literary and reading activities so I can't take my Mastery Activity on CAE. But now I realized Ms. Reynancia gave it to us to learn something from it. It is not knowledge, but analogy how to deal with life. Those obstacles where I learned YOU CANNOT ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU WANT, IF YOU DON'T START MAKING ANY CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE. STOP FANTASIZING, START DOING; very short but meaningful to me.

                I hope you have analyzed what I meant to say. This is all about tragedy to happy ending. Yes this is the end of my life being an Angelican and those are what I have learned in my journey.
