The Resilience of the Human Spirit
Being able to bounce back immediately after a hardship, all the while offering help and warmth to other people, is a feat one should always hope to have. Though the story changes when the trait you work hard to build for yourself and particularly your country is used as a tool to shroud its downfall.

In this time of pandemic, we are all facing different triumphs. Medical front liners have to face every person that carries the virus without minding the possibility of getting infected. A lot of people have been laid off of their work and barely had the means to support their needs. Moreover, the educational system cannot continue without somebody being compromised.
Smiling despite the hardships, helping amidst the very dangerous environment it took to perform such thing, this is the Filipino way. This is how Filipinos adapt with every existing problems, like the pandemic. Though, we should take also the lessons of such disasters with passion learning and building one's self better from there-- not in just few months or years, but beyond our lifetimes.

Beyond Interest: A Short Reflection
On this quarter, I've learned that in order to accomplish the things you're tasked to do is you need to be patient. Because as a person that doesn't have any interest in photoshop stuffs, I always find editing boring. Another reason is your work will not be saved and when you open your work the other day, you'll just get shock and sometimes angry because your work was ruined.
The challenges that I encountered were somewhat helped me develop my trust in myself. Because everytime that I'm in doubt, especially when it comes to doing our activities, I always follow my opinion or on what I believe and know.
Moving on, I will do my works better and of course follow my goals in life. Thank you for everything Ma'am Vera!

Dream: Passion or Money
An anonymously stated, "Dream it then make it happen." have always guided me since I've seen myself on the future that I want.
Having an interest on medical stuffs and activities have led me to the profession that I want. I admit that I was once got scared with blood and even have Trypanophobia (or the fear of medical procedures involving injections), I always wanted to save lives, to become a Doctor.
Imagining my name having a "MD" on the last part always inspires me to strive harder and learn more. I always get myself involved in any activities connected to medical, for me to have more knowledge or at least weigh and check things is I am really taking the right path.
My uncle once said, "Do not follow your passion, follow the money. And after having money then follow your passion.", on those word I already got confused. Of course it's everybody's dream to have lots of money and have properties that you'll be proud of. It may sound greedy but, it's also a dream to have and give my family the best life that they could have. The dream of getting your parents an early retirement and have full time rest.
As of now, I still have two years to weigh things, not to rush and ask for God's guidance. I'll always keep my eyes on the stars and my feet on the ground. Being a doctor will always be a dream for me.

You First
In everything that we do, we always want a change. With all the problems, we wanted a change. But how can you change something if you know, something on you is also worth to change.
When something bad is happening, sometimes they change the player. But, it is better to change the game than to change the player. Before you could do something to others, you should check yourself first. If you know that something is unbearable, change your game, take a small action and increase your self-awareness. After these steps you'll know that you can be the reason why someone is changing, that you can be an encouragement to someone.
When you want to make a step, be the change that you wish to see in this world.

Same Dreams, Fresh Starts
Brad Paisley once quoted, "Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one."
As the new year approached me I promised myself to pop out the balloons of bad doings, and start blowing the new me together with 2020. To start a great move, I'll begin first in myself. Helping myself to change lifestyle and routines. I wanted also to get in shape for my own health. Having a stronger faith and belief in God is a necessary every year for me. Because God will help with the other things I want to change in me and do to others.
Starting again as the new year came, I've always been guided with the saying,"You'll never find the right things if you don't let go of the wrong ones."
