Me, Myself and I

At some point in my life, I almost believed that experience was the worst teacher. They have to give the test first before the lesson.

I am really an outgoing person. Every place that I had been to, has taught me a thing or two on how to deal with my life. Especially during my high school years, the school sends student participants in a myriad of leadership trainings, competitions, and various symposia on different topics. This has allowed me to grow as an independent individual who can take good care of herself better than some wasted grown-ups out there. Hard situations had been able to get the most out of my critical thinking.

I live a simple life. For me, it is all getting your priorities done. Maybe, that is why I can finish all my school works, and still manage to enjoy some extra-curricular activities. It is just simple. Know which things are important and which things are urgent. The only thing we haven’t run out of is time. Having plenty of it, I have learned to manage it so I would not find it hard to fit everything in a small area.

My leadership potentials have been also inculcated in my mind and acted upon through the various events that we were holding way back in high school. But I learned as well the value of temperance and self-discipline. Hence, I never work a one-man team. I am a people person and everyone’s suggestion is always worth to be presented to make the outcome better.

Moreover, I am well versed on how to deal with my own interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. Yes I am a woman but I am a vision-maker as well. I follow my dreams wherever they may take me. Sometimes, the world seems to be a labyrinth where I fear of stepping in because I am afraid of not getting out. In circumstances like this, it is better to stick to your instincts and experience indeed will help you be stronger, in heart and in mind. Nobody said that it would be easy. They all said it was worth it.

However, I am not optimistic on ALL things. To the smallest possibility there is, the paradox of life still holds true in some unavoidable situations. Right on, everybody wants to live a long life, but nobody wants to get old; everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die; and nobody seems to realize that in our life’s journey, no one has ever reached the finish line alive. These instances conversely are not considered waving the white flag, but rather as a way of looking at the picture from another angle. There is always another prospective if I think outside the box.

Me, myself, and I. My strengths and weaknesses enabled me to be the person I am now. Anything I perceive and I choose to believe defines my individuality – a persona different from all other. All the people behind me, ready to catch me whenever I fall; those beside me, who takes in the risks as much as I can; and those in front of me, leading the way and exemplifying the role, are as well definitions of whom am I. The knowledge I have, and will be acquiring in school or at the workplace some years from now, are my sole weapons that experience has provided me in order to live life to the fullest and create my own destiny. Now, who would not believe that experience is the best teacher?
