My Journey Through Life

1140 Words5 Pages

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” I once dreamed that is why I believed and because I believed I achieved. Not a blind optimist, fun loving, and willing to seek for a new horizon and a silent type of person – Nonie M. Royales. As I journey through life I found out that life is not easy, life is full of challenges, and life is somewhat mysterious, full of surprises. When I was in my childhood, life for me was for play, for bonding with my friends and make fun of it. But when I grew up little by little my world moved differently, there’s a lot of changes and development.
But before I proceed to deliver every details of my college life’s story let me thank first our Almighty …show more content…

Thank you dearest God for the strength, courage and guidance you showered on me as I journey through this life. Thank you for the gift of family. A family who loves and cares for me, a family who gives courage and full support, a family who believes in me despite of all my ups and downs. Thank you to my sisters who never give up and never fail to provide what I need not only materially and physically but also emotionally and spiritually. Of course, I will never forget to thank this person for believing and for trusting me that I will and I can finish this journey, a journey of reaching my dreams through this degree. Thank you to you my dearest Sr. Mercedita B. Estrella, SPC whom I used to call “sister-mother” and will always be my “sister-mother”. If not because of you I won’t have this opportunity to graduate and to achieve my dreams and goals in life. Thank you very much to the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC) Congregation for allowing me to spend my life with you to grow as a young professional, to learn and see new things with a positive mind and with a grateful heart always. Thank you Sr. Ma. Nilda Masirag, SPC our very kind University President for …show more content…

Let me share with you a piece of motivating story from my journey. June 4, 2012 I arrived at St. Paul University and begun to walk on my journey with my co-scholars and SPC Sisters. Leaving away with my family was the hardest decision I made and sacrifices as well. Being a working scholar is not easy it entails a lot of obligation, responsibilities and high expectations. There were times that I wanted to give up, to surrender and go back home. But because of my dreams, because of my family and to those people who believes in me when I chose this kind of life I will continue and finish the race. It was then a good and soft journey when I started to walk, at times if I would want things to happen immediately I would run and from running I used to fall and run away from the things I don’t want to see and feel. As I went through my journey I met people, people who also made painful and unforgettable experiences in my life. Of course, I can’t blame God and will never blame Him for letting this person journey with me. Letting me experience heartaches, negative vibes, even trauma and having “stoned heart”. With all of these unpleasant experiences I am still thankful because I can quiet remember and stand for who I was and for who I am and for what I am today. Though it was a “bad nightmare” I once had during my sweet sleep I still thank God because I’m still alive. Alive that is and who is able to overcome the

The memory of each student’s accomplishment will forever be overshadowed by the mess of the Induction Ceremony that was originally meant to acknowledge them. I believe that the event could and should have been more smoothly conducted, for the sake of all involved. However, although the Honor Society Induction Ceremony was disorganized, I am still very honored to have been granted this prestigious award and would not have changed my decision to strive for it, if I was given the chance to begin

Good evening. I would like to start by sharing a quote from an unknown author: Being a nurse isn’t about grades, it’s about being who we are. No book can teach you how to cry with a patient. No class can teach you how to tell their family that their parent has died or is dying. No professor can teach you how to find dignity in giving someone a bed bath.

I remember the talks my mother gave me each morning in our 1997 Aerostar van, which my mother had cleaned houses to pay for. She always instilled that we were fortunate, even if we were struggling, we were fortunate. She had jobs, she had her health, we were a family, and for those things we would always have to be grateful. My love for academics immediately set me apart from the world in which I had always been an insider. I was immediately labeled differently from my family members outside of my immediate family, who felt that academic pursuits were a waste of time and money.

One thing I am thankful for had to be my concussion, sounds strange right? Well we all have our stories but mine started during my freshman year basketball game. Going into the game, I thought we were walking out with an easy win because we played this team before and won. First lesson, don’t ever be cocky in a sport because it will bite you back. Of course, my team decided we were not going to take the game too serious since we won before and karma caught up with us really fast.

William A. Ward once said, “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it”. If only this were always true; living would be so simple and easy. The idea behind a dream is that if an individual is ambitious and determined, he/she has a fair chance of fulfilling their goal, and the happiness that comes with it.

On a day like this I think to myself what does life have in store for me? Here I’m going to write about what I hope as I begin taking Social Work courses. I hope to pass all of my courses and graduate one day with my bachelor’s degree from Heritage University. I also hope that after graduating Heritage, I find a job so I can save up money and attend a master’s program because college is not cheap. I want to attend Walla Walla University and graduate from there as well, with a Master’s in Social Work.

Everybody always has dreams in their own life, some dreams are achievable and some are not. People without self-confidence are always scared of chasing dreams because failure is like nightmare in their minds. Nevertheless, those people will never know what did they give up, their crystalline dreams. On the other hand, people with enthusiasm always chase their dream without reasons because they will feel regret if they didn’t try; they may be successful however when they try to challenge themselves. Thus, it is important for people to chase their dreams, challenge themselves and achieve their goals.

In the years since I entered school, to the moment that my cap left my hand, I had grown into an entirely new version of myself. The freedom of college in combination with the guidance of so many teachers had led me to turn every negative aspect of myself into something new. With the pride I had gained in being part of something bigger, I became diligent and wholly interested in my studies. I had met so many interesting people who helped me break from my shell, and in doing so I had met some of the greatest friends I have ever had.
