"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.
