Happy-go-lucky, irresponsible, lazy and very hard headed. That is how I describe myself during my high school days. I didn't take my studies seriously. I don't know what I wanted to be after studying. In short, I don't have dreams. That's why I consider myself as an another trash in this community. For me, I just have to go with the flow and follow the air wherever it takes me. Of course the result was similar to those who have lost their ways. For sure most of you can relate with this story of mine.
My mom never surrender to put me on the right path. She wanted me to graduate not only in high school but also in college that's why she look for a school wherein I can continue my studies. She found a school that gives free education, La Verdad Christian College, and wanted me to study there. It's because we cannot afford to pay thousands for tuition and miscellaneous fees. But this school was different because when they say free, its definitely no payments. Even lunch and uniform are free! Have you seen any other school that offers this type of opportunity? Well, I guess none. However, to be honest, I'm so disgusted with my mom's dream for me. Because I'm afraid of big responsibilities. But now that I'm studying, I realized how foolish I am before when I refuse to study here.
Believe it or not, all things suddenly changed. Even my old friends are wondering what happened to me. Because they all know me as lazy and irresponsible but now it's different. I think the reason why I am here in La Verdad is that, God wants me to learn not only academically but also spiritually. His words changed my point of view in life. I then realized that it's a big sin to waste my life on unnecessary things. I am now on my second semester in first year college. I hope that I can still continue what I've started, and see God's plan for me.
