"Dream to believe and Believe to dream"

The world is turning around and so with our minds. People living were too busy, they don't have any time to work with others and even with their individual life. Young individuals nowadays are avoiding and afraid of challenges, hard works and problems because of what they believe that they can't do and solve it by their own. This is now the time to prove that dreaming and believing really works.

In life, dreams, beliefs, ambitions, wishes, hopes and more were not unusual. Too often, people always dreaming for any particular thing. Some dreamed to be a teacher, doctor, engineer or perhaps a successful businessman. There are also some who wished for the betterment of their lives and success of their career. When some people dream and wish for a certain thing, they execute it together with hard works and love. Those people who are consistent with their dreams in life, they struggle harder to reach them but if they are so dependent with it and at the point that they are not working for it, their dreams will be too far for them to reach.

There are some who says that dreaming and believing are just foolishness. Some also asked, if you have that dreams will you be happy or if you really have some, is it easy to get and cope with? For me, having dreams is not that bad only if you have just faith on it. A person who has dreams in life, surely he or she aims to drove something towards the best. It only means that one made such hard works to strike dreams.

When some people say that we should dream the future and believe to our own strength and abilities, I always recognize it. In every challenges and trials even personal experiences that I have encountered, I always employ my strength and capabilities to surpassed them. Like for instance, when I was applying to a club, I was nervous at first until I learned how to manage myself, I applied my talents, skills and knowledge to show that I am deserving. Then I was thinking, if success is the fruit of hard works, patience, understanding and more, dreaming and believing within yourself could be one.

As what I've said that dreaming and believing could be one way to reach the goal of success. The effectiveness of those will bring about changes to our life. Dreaming is effective in such a way that if someone has these, eventually he or she will struggle harder just to hit that dreams. While in the other hand, believing is effective for the reason that when one strongly believe in his strength and capabilities to overcome danger and challenges, he will commit the greatest success that he never expected in life. In relevant to these situation was my experiences since I was small. I dreamed to have a better education and to finish my studies and beyond that dreams I believe that through my hard works, the fruit of success will rapidly bloomed into my hands.

Having imaginations, illusions and especially dreams in life are just expressions in one's desire. Because when he believe, he will dream to do so and that's the nice things towards success.

"A triumphant march"


Failure will not halt, triumph will aid, glory is there and love is forever. These worthy things help us to struggle towards success and to know our failures, weaknesses and disadvantages in life so that we can elaborate them into a better one.

Succeeding in small things is just a step towards a broad future. But when we talk about “success in one's education”, it's another matter. When a student passed through the hard years in school eventually he or she will have the honor to graduate or in short to commit one's graduation. For me, the graduation march is very important for a student because it shows only that he or she bring it to the best and their sacrifices, hardworks and understanding were worth it.

In life, what I dreamed is to have a better way of living and to finish my studies. Because I dreamed and believed, I successfully graduated in my elementary years in school.the graduation which I crave most has come. It was a hot day because summer had just started, when I woke up from bed and then prepared for our graduation. I told my grandmother to hurry up because any moment from now the graduation will start. I went outside to look for a ride and afterwards we arrived to our destination, where our graduation will be held.

At first, when we entered in the campus, where the ceremony was held, we were in trouble in looking for the venue because of panicked and eventually I forgot the place. Afterwards I found the place and I immediately went upstairs and there I saw a big crowd. The crowd was full of visitors, friends, guardians, parents, city officials, VIP's, teachers and of course the most important ingredient for the day, the graduating stuadents from different schools around the city.

After I arrived at the spot, I looked for my co-graduates. My teacher put this beatiful garlands to my neck and at the same time congratulates me for doing the part of being a student during our elementary years. The ceremony started and while marching towards our seats, somebody took a shot for me and eventually I smiled to the photographer. While on the seat, I felt happy, excited, tense, sad and more mixed expressions in that scenario.

The flow of the ceremony continued. After the city officials had given their messages to everyone, each teacher from certain school one by one called their graduating students and of course one of those was me. After we were called to get our diplomas, the next part of the ceremony was the awarding of the honor students in all the schools around the city. While the awarding was going on, I was looking for my grandmother because before I went up to the building, when I looked back she was gone from my sight so it was natural for me to looked for her especially it was my graduation and also she should be the one who will witness my success on stage.

One's graduation only shows that he or she successfully made it to the top. Graduation is the best part of a student's life in school and what makes it best is through good education. If only we will struggle towards success or strive harder, we could have the best graduation ever.

"What the Stars and Sky Tell Me About Life"


Stars are far apart, and that's why they are unreachable. They look small at a distance but actually they are huge, sometimes more huge than our planet earth. Skies are wide and huge also, and the same as stars that twinkle, they also bloomed. Those things above seemed telling us about something, something I think could be possible and that thing is all about life.


Our life on earth is only a borrowed one. We can neither tell nor assure that we will last long but what I think is really possible that all of us will die, only we just don't know where and when is that. Watching and imagining the stars and skies above are factors that help us relate and remember our daily experiences in life, failures and triumphs and more.

Here in world life is said to be unfair, tough, challenging and mostly taken for granted. But for me it isn't difficult to cope with yourself, it is just that one immediately get upset and felt unhappy in such a way that he or she is not favorable with his or her life. Playful life is not unusual for me because I've already experienced this for years. I think all the disasters one's life could have are what I had experienced since the past and until now. One thing is when I was a kid, I was playing then, when a car hit me and I was dragged down below. That accident led me trauma and I realized that life is not just for fun but we should care about it.

Another incident when I was in elementary years, I think I was grade four at that time when my classmates and I were playing the game called “in-in”. It was then, when I was playing, a kid approached towards my side and then I was in trouble because we could be catch by the opponents at the time when that area will be full. Thus, I pushed him towards the other side but instead he will be safe going there, he was dragged slowly towards the corner and I was shocked of what did happen. I don't think if I hardly pushed him or he was just mistakenly step a rock or whatsoever that brought him into trouble. So we brought him to the clinic of the barangay hall. Afterwards I realized that being selfish will bring you into trouble or danger, so we should be kind and generous to everyone.

We should not limit our experiences in life to bad things, there were also good things that happened in our life. Like for instance, when I found out that my name was written in that paper which was labeled the passers of UPHSAT and that means I was qualified to enter and study in the most credible and regarded university in the country, the University of the Philippines or U.P. After the results I felt happy because my sacrifices and hard works were worth it and also excited because my dream to study in U.P was granted. Then I told myself that through hard works, understanding and patience, life would be possible.

Like the stars and skies, life has also an end. Like the stars that there are times it has enough bright, there are also times that it loses its brightness. The same as our life that sometimes we were up, sometimes we were also down. So don't abuse life because it was given by God for us to love and treasure.
