My name is Manolo Origenes.

Ever since I was a child, I have always dreamed of

becoming a policeman. I often ask my mother to buy me toy guns and pose for pictures like I
am already a policeman. Also, two of my uncles are also policemen who inspired me. I believe
that becoming a policeman is a noble profession. It is my goal to be one of the Philippine
National Police to serve and protect.
Last year, I was heartbroken when I applied to be a patrolman and was not able to pass.
But because I am really focused and determined to be a policeman, I applied again this year. I
believe that there is nothing can stop me from reaching my dreams.
I am a hard-working person. If ever I will pass to be part of the Philippine National
Police, I will make sure that I will make the organization proud. I will do my best to perform well
and improve myself.
I know that I can be a policeman because my family is always supportive of me. My
family has always been there to comfort and cheer me in all the stages of the recruitment
process. I also have a supportive girlfriend who makes me smile everyday and who makes sure
that I do not forget to eat on time. My family is really my inspiration on why I persevere to
achieve my goals.
In all the challenges that I have encountered, I also make sure to ask for guidance from
God. I have prayed always that God would grant me the strength to help me overcome any
obstacles. I am sure that when the time is right, he will grant all of my prayers.
All the things that I pray for are not only for myself but always for my family. I offer to
them all my sacrifices and hardships. I hope that this will be the year that I already become a
real policeman.
