"Change Starts with Me"

Image
     Change. It's a word that carries immense power and potential. We often hear people say, "If you want to see change in the world, be the change." This simple statement holds a profound truth: change starts with me.      Change is a constant and something that is inescapable. We change for a purpose, but unless we dig deeper, it's impossible to say if it will be good or harmful for us. Although changing oneself can be difficult, most changes are for the better as we mature. Change does not necessarily mean leaving behind the past, but for me, it means using the past as an opportunity for growth that will help me become more mature and aware of my surroundings. Yes, there are many things that influence us, but the truth is that we can only change if we make the effort; it is not something that is forced; rather, by considering who we are, we try to change for the best.      As I reflect on this notion, I realize that change is not an external force; it is an int

"The One Who Cared for Me the Most"

     This year has gone by pretty fast, and maybe for some it is quite boring but I say it is not. Many challenges have tested me throughout this year, countless battles that I've yet to conquer but amidst all of these, there is one who stood by my side patiently. She who guided me without a word and showered me with love, she who protects me from the evil of the world, and she is my mother.       Mother's day for me is a very special day, of course it is for all of us but it just holds a special place in my heart. I cannot express my love and gratitude towards my mother easily, it is not that I don't want to but it is simply because I tend to shy away. On this day, I can express it freely and easily maybe because of the day but nonetheless I still feel happy to say it. For all the things that they have done they deserve to be honored and pampered on this special day. They deserve to sit back and relax and to enjoy the day, they deserve a break because they are

"A Quarter Full of Humbling Experiences"

Image
   Reflecting on this quarter I must say that the experience that I’ve gathered has influenced my growth and my improvement as a whole, it is mainly because I’ve been surrounded with my positive friends that has greatly increased my confidence and helped me get through this quarter. I can honestly say that this shift has benefitted me in more ways than one. I also came to the realization that in order for me to develop, I need to know what or who I genuinely like. My desire to better comprehend and explore who I am was another one of my objectives. It is not an exaggeration to claim that if we put our minds to anything, even the most mundane things may be changed because a change starts with me.      This quarter is clearly more difficult than the previous ones, and with that in mind, it took me a while to physically and emotionally acclimatize because the material was so challenging. But happily, with the help of my instructors and friends, I was able to conquer it-though
