"I'm shy, please come say hi.”
Blog #1
“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”
Hello there, everyone! I am delighted to conquer and introduce myself here in the blogging community. I am Mary Angela D. Lagutao, a 15-year-old girl from the Corn Capital of the Philippines City of Ilagan, Isabela. Faith and hope are wonderful to me. Having someone tell me, "You got this." or "Don't give up." is the best feeling; those three words motivate and inspire me. It's a tough life, and it's the little things that help us get through it, sometimes the smallest things mean the most. I am motivated to do better because I have hope.
I used to be a talkative, humorous, and cheerful kid, but where has that funny little girl gone to now? I have no idea what happened. In Elementary, I found my passion in participating in quiz bees and essay writings, I also joined the majorette club, student council, radio broadcasting team of our school. But that was a very long time ago, and I can't even twirl and spin a baton now. I used to be one of the happiest and active students in our school before. When junior high school arrived, I don't know why, but I suddenly became dull, quiet, shy, or to put it simply, introverted. This is where I experience crying over poor test scores, my first time taking remedial after failing quizzes, and cram because I procrastinated, but I'm not going to deny it's the best part of my student life. There, I met my friends—or, perhaps more accurately, my soul mates—who look out for me whenever I'm silent. I feel so fortunate to have them in my life.
Where do I see myself 10 years from now? To be completely honest, neither I nor any of us really don't know what will occur today or tomorrow. The realization that I'll be twenty five years old in ten years from now and that my teen years is coming to an end frightened me a little. However, if God grants me the opportunity to live to that age, I may very well make the most of it by dedicating all of my passion, heart, determination, and commitment to becoming a successful doctor as well as a happy, strong, independent, and fulfilled woman. Picturing my person ten years from now I hope I have already pursued my aspirations, wishes, and goals. The only person we need to believe in, is ourselves because no one else will. Although others may view you differently, in the end, only how you see yourself will matter. Your main goal should be to prevent feelings of worthlessness. To light a fire of possibility inside of you that will lead to success, you should be grateful for the little things in life.
Let's start with where I am right now; I am a Grade 11 STEM student at Saint Paul University Philippines, and I am grateful to be a student there. Saint Paul University is one of the most reputable universities in our region. It is huge and beautiful. However, I was actually anxious prior to enrolling at this university because I had so many "what ifs" racing through my head regarding how this academic year would go. I am initially hesitant to venture outside of my comfort zone, but who would have thought that my biggest discomfort would also be my greatest teachings. If the opportunity arises, seize it and work to become a better person. As they say, "remain motivated and have fun while you're in school." The school has a joyful, productive atmosphere; it's a brand-new beginning and a brand-new journey. From the security guard to the teachers, everyone on staff at the school is very friendly and welcoming. I adore being a student and going to school. I enjoy being here with my classmates and pick up new skills every day. The professionalism and discipline I have learned from my teachers will help me in the future. I'm proud to be a student here, and I'll never stop missing it when I leave. I have learned a lot from my time in school, and I have given the chance to be with the most wonderful classmates.
Was STEM the best best choice after all? I am a STEM student, as I already mentioned, and I believe it was a good decision in the end. Simply because STEM or Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math is suitable and related to the course I wanted to pursue in college. For those who plan to pursue a medical course in college, the STEM strand offers numerous career opportunities. Additionally, the topics are very interesting and challenging.
Hopefully and if all goes well I would like to Major in Nursing or Medical Technology. Growing up, I saw some homeless people begging for money so they could pay for healthcare. They motivated and inspired me to pursue a medical allied course because I wanted to help those people. Last but not least, I aspire to be a doctor. As a child, I enjoyed playing my medical kit toy, I act like I’m the doctor whose giving prescriptions to my patients. I am choosing either nursing or medical technology as my pre-medical course because of this.
Let me tell you something!
I know it's crazy to admit it, but I still don't know what my real purpose is; I just simply function and go with the flow of life. Finding my mission in life is though, but is more crucial than i might realize. In the process of still finding my purpose, i discovered that there is so many things like my passion to share to others.
