RESILIENCE

Remember you are good enough. Everyone is different. Stop comparing yourself. Individuality rocks! \m/ Learn something new daily. Involve yourself what you love doing. Enjoy things that make you happy. Not everyone can be 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Care about yourself and others. Expect that some days won't be great .
-Mr. Ramelo C. Gloria

Aim High

Reaching your goal is really a wonderful moment. Aiming high is one that can help you reach your goal. I remember how I climbed on the wall in Amore Leisure Park. At first I was really nervous and I thought that I will not reach the top. When I was already in the middle part of the wall, I can feel my knees and my arms getting tired and weak. I feel like giving up. I was thinking if I'll let go of the rock which I was holding onto or just keep on going. Later on I've convinced myself and realized that I only have one chance in reaching the top and if I'll let go and give up, I will never ever have the chance to reach the top. That was actually the second time that I've tried wall climbing, my first was when I was still in grade school.  So I continued on climbing even though my arms are already tired. When I tried to look up to see if I am near to the top of the obstacle, I found out that it's just a few meters from where I was. That's why even if I could already feel my sweat rolling down my face and through my back, I kept on going. Then there came a time that the rock was far from my reach, Once again, I lose hope. That's why i took a rest for a while then I thought of something to do. With my feet on one rock, I tried to push myself and leap from that rock so that my hand could reach the rock far from me, and there, I reached it and i continued climbing. After climbing a few more meters, I finally reached the top! And from there, I looked down to see how far I went just to reach the top.

So what's the point on telling these? What I'm trying to say is that in life, problems may come, and we may feel that there's no more way out or there's no more solution and we feel like giving up but there will always be a way. If only we try harder. If we feel that we are tired, we have to take a rest for a while, maybe a vacation or something that could relax our mind. My struggle on climbing the wall simply showing how people also struggle to get what we aim for. We try so hard just to reach it, because later on it'll make us happy! It'll make us feel lighter. We always have to remember that those who quit never win. This is what I learned from my adviser: "We sholud always try our best in everything we do, so that if we fail, at least we know that we gave all of our efforts and we have nothing to regret."
