Pep Talk

Today marks my first week away from home. I must say, I am not that happy with the decision of coming here but I do not regret ever doing it because until now, I know that this is a good decision. Nobody said it was going to be easy. My life in the Philippines was also never easy. The reason why I miss the place is probably because I have just learned to adopt with the place and the environment. I miss so many people back there. My Father and all my friends. I was too used in just asking my friends to go to my place whenever I was down then drink beer and everything would be alright. Bored as I may be, scared of countless possibilities and uncertainties, I am determined to stand by my decision and continue what I have started. I have failed many times in the past because of my ever- changing mind. I shall never allow that to happen again. Sure, there will be setbacks and disappointments but this time, I'll face the battle, alone but ready. I came here for a reason: to prove my worth, not to other people, but to myself. I am sure of some things; that I'll succeed and I'll go home as a changed man, more responsible, couragous & humble, yet proud for what he has accomplished in his life.
