"Balang araw..."
The first line that always came out from my mouth whenever I'm inspired, motivated, revenge, and dreaming. Lines that introduces my dreams--dreams that introduces 'me' a decade from now.
Dreams and goals are my only pride since I realized the life that I and my family have. Aside from my new clothes and colorful toys, dreams is the only thing I cans say loudly and proudly among my classmates and friends. There are a lot of times I ask my self "bakit ako wala? Pero sila m'er'on". Insecurity falls in my mind but I can't do anything to fulfill my wants and needs, except on dreaming. I just grew in a in a simple life, I doesn't have any legacy or any huge amount of allowance received like what others do but I do have an ability to pursue many things that others can't. Yes, a lot of factors blocks my way to reach my dreams and goals: poverty; diseases that often weakened me; family problems; and the poor side of me that mostly persuades me to get tired on dreaming. But God gave me opportunities that made me realize that I must keep on holding and keep reaching my dreams no matter how high 'cause I know that He will raise me up. He also gave me a lot of motivators-- my teachers, classmates, friends, family, and often, 'crushes' that made me encouraged. Most of them found in school. School is not just an institution wherein we're about to gain knowledge by our teachers' lessons. It's a home for us to build a company by our friends and teachers which will be a part of our journey on learning things on how we build and mold ourselves to be successful.
We must remember that dreams are not just lines, nor a ingenuity that tend to be a broken vow. 'Cause the word "dream" is a powerful word that captures not an ambition but a determination we made and shall make in everything we're doing for our better tomorrow.
