New File in the Closet

And yet, another file will be included in my closet.

  55th National Rizal Youth Institute, you have given me the experience of a leader that I can never forget. I encountered so many personalities with different attitude and aura. I learned to become more patient. And more importantly, you taught me how to be a much more effective leader and a young patriot of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

  Within the 6 days I spent in Baguio, I gained and met new friends. People who are like me, who wants and aims for the betterment of our country. I will forever treasure our memories there together. Especially the lessons a mentor taught me there. She is Ma'am Glaiza. And she told me to believe in myself. And that even no-one believes in me, I should listen to my inner self because I am the only one who knows my whole being. My intentions and my will.

  And if one day, I'll be given the chance to be sent to baguio again to be a coordinator, even with the thoughts of sleeping at 1 AM and waking up at 4 AM, working non-stop whole day, dealing with unpredictable behavior of different delegates, I will go without hesitation.
