 In this year the occurence of a pandemic dragged every people in the world into a hole of fear, questions and uncertainties. As the world is covered by health threats brought by covid 19, every single one of us felt like a prisoner in their own homes. But even though we trouble and face uncertainties in every single day, hope and determination will always be dominant within ourselves. In times which the world is in complete despodency just like in the present time, we all have our own views and initiatives to help in the simplest yet beneficial way that we can. With the advance and creative ways present in this time, using technology is one of the best or should I say is the most effective way to spread awareness, positivity and strength in this crisis wherein physical meet-ups are too risky.    With the use of different social media platforms we can encourage a huge number of people to follow different protocols needed to ba safe from this spreading virus, a single post can create a very powerful impact to limit the spread of the virus. Let us use technology and social media in a very benificial way, as medium of hope, inspiration and strength.

We grew up to be the hope of the future, doing our part in such crucial times when the world needs us is the most important moment for us to do our mission. 

A Quarter that Will Last Forever

   Time flies so fast, four quarters seemsvlime a single blink isn't it?

      This quarter is different from tge previous ones, why? Because this is the time wherein every second is precious and worth a memory. A tine wherein memories flashes from time to time, a time which we remember the smiles, laughters, arguments, tears and bonds that we made together during those past quarters. Aside fron these, this quarter made me realize how those memories became a huge part in my life. I know that this quarter is going to be emotional, yet meaningful. Do you agree? Let us say that you cannot change the fact that this time of the school year is the moment wherein students wishes for more days ahead, more days of happiness and laughter with classmates and friends, am I right? Let us put in mind that farewells doesn't only end with sadness, because as long as we end it with positivity and a fulfilled heart I know that this will be the best! I know that this quarter is hard and tough, but making good memories is the best treasure that we will cherish until the last. Let's fill oir remaining months with love and appreciation. Let us disregard negativity and always remember to be positive.

My Dream: My Calling!

https://www./thedefensepost.com/

   "Dreams can come true if you work hard to achieve it".

   We all have our own drem which we want to achieve in thw future. A dream which we really want to grab, for this goal of ours is our inspiration to do our fullest best in achieving what we have envision in life. I don't what your dreams are, but let me share mine.... For me my dream is serve my country and its people. For me my passion is service, service to God, service to my homeland, and service to my co-filipinos. My dream is to render service by being a soldier or a doctor. We are all aware that service is not only rendered by said professions that I have stated because service doesn't rely on specific jobs of professions in life. Service can be rendered by anyone... in any age or in any ambition, in fact even a student like me can render service. Why? Because everything thing you do with love and compassion is service. You probably questioned the thing why I wanted to render services, while in fact you can serve in any time and in any state you are in? Let me answer your question with this, " All of us has a calling and purpose, and that calling is our dream or ambition that we want to achieve". God created us with different roles, which is reflected in our ambitions in life because all of us has specific purposes in this world the He created.

   If you dream of something, do not hesitate to grab it, because God had planned that to you, He has a purpose why he had given that dream to you and why you wanted so much to achieve it. 

Just believe and do your best because every dream has a purpose.

New Year, New Story!

https://www.business2community.com/

   Another story in our life has come to an end. Yet new blank pages in a new book awaits to be filled with our own new story that will last a decade.

   

/www.forbes.com/

   Closing a chapter in our life is way different from starting to write a new story. It is because as quoted by T.S. Eliot ; "For last year's words belong to last year's language, and next year's words await another voice". Our past doesn't tell the story that we will going to write in the present and in the future. A new year means a new start and we must left the negative vibes from the past and start writing positive and bright ones for this wonderful year which is the start of a new day, new night and of course a new life.

https://www.patheos.com/

   In this new chapter in my life, I want to start my year with a positive and bright view. I want to start my story in a very exciting way yet meaningful and productive. For the past years I've always wanted to conquer and do the things that I've never experienced before....  maybe learn to drive, scuba dive or even explore the world. I have to say that in this year, let's clear all doubts, questions and negativities. 

   Let's start this new year and new decade with confidence and trust within ourselves. Because if you believe that you can be better than the previous years, I'm sure that the best is waiting for you in the present and in future years ahead. 

Now, are you ready to write your book?
