Prof. Cequeña: To you, what is success?? (looks at me and expects me to answer..) Me: "Success is when your signature turns to autograph." (PANALO.)
Me. I want to be all-known at something. Before I shifted to Early Childhood Program, My course was Philippine Mass Media. Truth is I want to be a writer and a well-known one. The reason why I shifted is not because I failed my subjects but because I realized that I can be a writer without even finishing that course. I saw that finishing PHM for me was for formality's sake. At that point in my life, I was in dilemma with "what I want" and to "what I want to achieve in life". For me, getting my work published and seen by distinguished persons in the field of literature is already an achievement. When I was in grade school and high school I was already able to do that and I felt that I was able to fulfill and achieve something in life. One of my essay and also of my article was published in our schools first literary folio when I was in high school and my first short story presented to PAASCU when I was still in grade school. Having people appreciate my works and tell me that they liked it made me pursue my dream of being a writer even without finishing PHM.Success for me is being able to do the things I want in life even when people tell me that reaching these will be impossible. The thing that touched me in the blog and lecture is being positive and persisting on doing your best even if people dampen your spirit. It's about thinking positive and reaching your goals by moving. It's about being strong in facing the many challenges--the current, and being able to counter flow. There many be countless failures along the way but this does not stop me in being successful. When I stop on persisting, it is when I face defeat from my fight to being a successful writer.
Though I have accomplished something, I have only done little and I will not stop. I will move to the greener pastures of success.
I WILL PERSIST. I WILL WIN.
