GOALS

Today, August 7, 2023, I am writing this passage because I want to read it after 2 years of being out of college. A degree holder of "Bachelor of Arts in Communication in the Department of Mass Communication" graduate of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM).

2After I graduate, I'll take a short break for 1-2 weeks before starting to look for jobs that will pay well and teach me about life and work balance. With God's help, I'm confident that I'll find the right job for me. I'd like to work as a news anchor or reporter. I want to work in the field of media and provide public services to people.

I aspire to be a successful person not only for myself but also for my family. I really want to demonstrate that I have the ability and eagerness to become a person who has achieved her life's dreams and goals.

This way, I can assist my siblings in completing their studies. Then I'll travel around the world with someone I love. 

I know that in God's perfect timing, he will guide me in a way that will increase my motivation to become what I want to become.

Today, Lord God, I give you my heart and soul to teach, guide, and protect me from harm and sickness. With my plans, I am putting my trust in you to guide me to the right path. I know that your plan is always the best of the bunch. Amen.

Bella Obafial,

3rd year college student

BLOG #3: The Chronicle of My Success Foretold.

I’M THE STAR

My birthday is coming up on December 15, and I'll be turning 20 in just seven days. I'll light up and blow out the candle with my prayer wish, which is to be prosperous and self-sufficient. I am a woman seeking success and peace after graduating from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) and enrolling of Bachelor of Arts in Communication at the Department of Mass Communication.

What about my other backgrounds in life?

Well, I guess I could say I'm an independent woman, not particularly financially secure, but with a goal in mind. Describing myself was one of the things I struggled with in the past because the old me, the old Reabelle Medina, was not as hardworking, risk taker, and multitasker as she is now. All of my previous flaws had been transformed into strengths. To achieve my goals and dreams, I decided to become a working student. I tried various part-time jobs, such as writing for a newspaper and working as a crew member in a milk tea shop. I'm an explorer, so I'm willing to take risks, even though this is my first time working two jobs at the same time. And now I'm a working student working as a call center agent. I accept this job because I know that even though it will be difficult for me to study while working, I believe that I will grow and understand more about life or what the reality is.

I grew up in a broken family since I was in middle school. My father abandoned us, and my mother was the only person who never neglected us, but she died in the last two years of 2020. It was at this point that I realized I needed to stand on my own two feet not only for myself, but also for my siblings. I've realized that I need to prove to everyone that I will be successful and that in two years I will be a very skilled news anchor. I will work at my standard station and become known as a great news anchor who is dedicated and passionate about her job. I will be financially secure at a young age, with my own car, a house, and the ability to assist my siblings in completing their college degrees. Soon, I’ll received an achievement award having the title of  “Best Journalist and Speaker of The Year”.  

Despite all of my personal battles and tears that no one knows about, I continue to strive for success. I'm not the kind of person who is afraid of failing because I think that mistakes and failures in life are opportunities to learn something that you can use to improve yourself and strive harder. My life motto is, "You can rest, you can cry, but never give up for what life has done to you; it's like mud in your life that will leave stains, but there is a lesson you will learn."

The State of My Mental Health

The State of My Mental Health

By:  Reabelle Medina

Every day is distinctive. There is always something new. Our day varies depending on how we're feeling, just as our mental health isn't constantly in good shape. We may feel happy one day, then depressed the next. Every day, we can be both active and inactive.

So, how is my mental health in relation to many aspects of my life?

My mental health has been in a completely different place now than it was perhaps when I was younger. I can now perceive the differences and changes as an adult. Time flies by so quickly now. Back when I was a child, all I wanted to do was play with my friends and classmates. I love asking my parents to get anything I desire in order to make me happy. Before, it sounded like my life's slogan was "enjoying, happiness, and taking time." Every day after school, all I want to do is play in the rain and on the playground using the Chinese garter, hula hoop, and other games.

See? Being a child simply means living a simple, pleasant existence without any difficulties, excess thought, or heartbreaks.

But now that I'm an adult, I can definitely see how things have changed. To put it another way, I can now see everything, which is what we call reality. Now that I've defined it, I can say that life is both magical and unpredictable. Magical because we are here to discover the world. Life can be really challenging, and now that I'm an adult, I feel that there are many things that need to be done and problems that need to be resolved. Our entire attention is devoted to making plans to accomplish and sustain a goal.

The more we get older, the more the responsibilities we need to take. As of now, my mental health rates are about 8 out of 10.

Why?

            It's because I've recently been aware of several things I need to do. Particularly in my case, since I was raised alone without parents. In order for me to graduate from college and earn a degree that will aid in my achievement, I really need to concentrate on my academic work. So that I may assist my siblings with their financial security and better enable them to continue and finish their studies. This puts pressure on me, which is why I always overthink and wonder what my life will be like in the future. Will I make it out alive? Am I capable of overcoming all the difficulties I currently face?

So, how am I feeling mentally?

 It can be both good and awful at times, but I can only say that I always learnt something new every day. I am stronger to continue living thanks to my current sufferings. These days, show me how to control my emotions and sentiments so that I can keep pursuing my goals and desires in life. My mental health, which occasionally has me on the verge of tears, inspires me every day. The phrase "There is always a light at the end of the tunnel" is one piece of advice for this generation. Crying out of pain is not a sign of weakness. Your daily efforts to get stronger will be your weapon in the struggles that will inevitably come into your life.

Are writers born or made?

Are writers born or made?

         Writers are the one who unable to think of what to write or how to proceed with writing. They have the ability to write using their creativity and knowledge.

Every one of us has the urge to write, whether it be a poem, a tale, an article, our thoughts, or our emotions.

Are writers born or made?

Well, in my viewpoint, writers are made; I think that talent is learnt rather than innate. Everyone has the capacity to communicate their thoughts in writing in order to share and develop their ideas. If we work on improving our writing abilities, the more we write and express the ideas we have in our heads, the better writer we will eventually become.

In this approach, if we pursue writing, we will do it through improving our capacity for creativity, logical reasoning, and communication. Anyone of us can write well if they truly enjoy creating various types of writing. We make ourselves into writers; we are not born to write. We are the ones who are improving and honing our writing skills. To become better writers, we simply need to exercise, improve, and train ourselves more.

Why do I believe that writers are made not born?

As for me, I never really enjoyed writing, but when I was a student in elementary through high school, I entered journalism and fell within the genre of news writing. And today I put my knowledge to use by applying to be an article writer for a newspaper. Based on my experience there, I've come to the conclusion that writing gives you the impression that you're also learning as you progress. You get better and gain more knowledge about stuff you didn't know by writing. Writing, in my opinion, is similar to an adventure where you can explore, utilize your imagination, or discuss reality. By doing so, your mind will become more open, broader, more knowledgeable.

Additional to know, reading can help us become better writers by expanding our vocabulary and improving our comprehension. Although writing is difficult, you will like it once you master it and fall in love with it.

I've always enjoyed grammar and spelling, but I never wanted to be a writer since I want to be a reporter eventually. And when I talk to people, I often describe things in great detail. I just started writing one day and enjoyed having the ability to decide how the story would end. To actually write well took years of work. I'm still learning. 

That’s why I do believe that writers are made, trained, skilled, conscientious, and communicatively adept, not born.
