I am not alone

Beginning NSTP Class, I was all eyes and all ears to attend meetings because every day is like a day filled with laughter and wisdom to interact with classmates and the teacher. I get to contemplate a lot during kuya JCs inspirational and motivational stories. I have learned much not only about the subject but the essence of life in Ateneo. There are so many activities that urged me to change to a more positive outlook. These are good opportunities for me to examine and reflect every weekend to the importance of education and values. My experiences of NSTPCFFP1 is an unbelievable and overwhelming adventure to find God and happiness amongst all that is able to share the message that God wants to entail and for us to understand. I even especially enjoyed the meetings were in the class even though obliged, observes silence and settles down to listen also. It has been a big deal for me to be always enlightened after every session and leave the meeting place with anticipation and a higher degree to live a worthwhile life as a student, a peer and as a teenager. I treasured every instance that adds color to the Chemistry which deepens and strengthens the intimacy of each one of us. I am pleased be with classmates of each one of us. I am pleased to be with classmates who could embrace my difference and aide me when I am burdened with problems or just amere sign of depression. NSTP-CFFP1 has shaped and was able to contribute to my development and character-building. One important realization is that God has always been present with us whom are willing to share their time also. God is everywhere to answer our prayers and listen to the calling of our hearts if we invite ourselves to be sincere and accept our sinfulness as GOD is a forgiving Father. My learning also includes the character of Personal care which is a unique characteristic that distinguishes an Atenean and the ultimate factor that will promote Ignatian virtues and the spiritual exercises. Taking part of the recreational of programs that this subject wants to ensure and to show is what gives it meaning to be a part of the learning institution and be a requirement for graduation. I will not take for granted these values I have received not only from teachings but also the experiences which led me to concrete realizitaions in life. When you have a problem dont be keeping it to yourself instead take some time to realize that it will never be solved if you are not conditioned to solve a certain problem like what I have experienced. That is why I value unity for it is my greatest learning in NSTP-CFFP1. Unity is seen in when a group of persons

become on or are in singleness kung magisip, kumilos at magsalita. Sa aming klase unity is just so talagang kailangan. Nakikita dapat yung one thing that makes us as a class kaya nga there is the need to know each other and intimate kami so that parang may sandalan halimbawa kung may problema o kahit project na kailangan tapusin. A unified class is a concerete manifestation that the class functions as a whole. Kaya nga where really doing all that we can to be a perfect example of a unified class. Kaya lang paginaabot ng laziness o kampante sa sairli kahit wala namang magandang naidudulot sa pagtulong. It just so hard yet so satisfying sa feeling that u work together, dwell together to accomplish a task or something that involves a group effort. Napagmasdan ko ito sa class outreach held last September at Buhi, kealangan talaga ng unity at kahit initiative kasi malaking hamong ang lugar na iyon. Unity is key if you are missing something or lacking, peers will explain what is missing in your mga kilos and reactions sa loob ng isang pagsasama like mga group activities. Before the beginning of the activity, marami na din unfortunate happenings that occurred. Even we ourselves couldnt believe kelangan ng maraming tubig, ang malala pa yung change of schedules greatly contributed to the dilemma. Since iyon ay biglaan, everyone became startled and parang din a ginanahan para mag-proceed sa ctivity. Hainku! So very nakakadiscourage na yung mga events that occurred before the activity began. I told myself that this should never happen again, Lots of drama and emotions made it so unforgettable. Pero we were able to witness the unity pa rin and forgiveness afterwards nung incident. Never forget that in every darkness there is light forwarding it to the statement, United we stand divided, we fall. This statements I was able to feel kasi nung time na iyon. Yung level of restraint ko natest during the tree-planting activity that exhausted me.But still sama-sama kami ng mga kaklase ko treck that treacherous terrain but enjoy pa rin kasi of the vast array of flora and fauna sa paligid. Di namin alam kami na lang pala ang hinintay sa base camp because I myself recvd a txtmessage that hinahanap na daw kmi. So yung role ng untiy was not neglected naman kasi sama-sami kami na kung ano ang nais naming gawin o selfishness to be exact. I was touched. But still it was not acceptable because another thing that unity points out is the correctness and truthfulness namin to do what is good for all. Sa aming lahat during any
particular conversations o meeting but we dont see it as clearly as we desire kasi we let our emotions to take place sa takbo ng aming pag-iisip. But still panay pa rin ang pagmamahal ko sa klase at NSTP-CCFP1.
