Limitations and possibilities help us to be better human beings.

Events and experiences mold us into who we are today. As a sixteen years old boy, I have
already experienced a lot of things in this world. For me those things are my stepping stone to
know more about myself and also those things help me to make good choices and decisions in
life, they left a great lesson that eventually will help me to stablish myself in the future. Every
person is capable of doing something and the only thing that remains in this world is change.
Changing is part of life that we can stop from happening and transcendence is one of the key
factors why a person changed. Being an only child and living in a dignified family It's much
pressure to bear. I'm living with the expectation of my parents and I should be aware of the
outcomes of my doing because it does not only reflect on me but also my family. I'm their only
child and I'm the only one to bring fortune to them. That's why I'm doing my best to not fail them
not only for myself but also for those people who root for my success. Knowing these
possibilities help me have the motivation and inspiration to continue walking on the path which
leads in my success because at the end I know not only success is waiting for me on the edge of
the line but also their smile. Possibilities help me realize my value in this world.

Limitations are the boundary of what we can do and not and sometimes we go further in
that boundary for us to make a change and bring ourselves to another level. As we grow, we
learn that conquering our fears and living to the fullest will make us happier and even greater
human beings. These two words help us determine and to know who we are. Knowing your
imperfections make you more beautiful by embracing them like limitations and possibilities if
you acknowledge them as a part of you, you will distinguish the key within yourself to past your
limit and expand your capabilities to make your thoughts possible. When I was fourteen my
parents joined me in a pageant it's my first time joining a big pageant at first, I hesitate because I
think I'm not good as the other competitors they were older and have more experience than me.
But my parents push me to go beyond my limit and see what happens next. I didn't expect to win
but I got the title I am the Mr. Teen Atioc 2019 it's overwhelming and I can't forget what
happened that night that I conquer and pass my boundary and now knowing my limit is a great
help to determine myself but my limit does not stop there because I will never stop trying to
exceed that line.

There’s always room for improvement. As the years go by and many things happen in our life,
we realize that it is not only our age that changes but also our outlook and thinking in life.
Humans are different from each other. We have different plot stories that's why don't compare
yourself to others. You are the controller of your own world and if you have the determination,
it's means you are the leader of yourself you can't be dictated by others because you influence
yourself more. As I grow as an individual, I see the mentality of others who will try to bring you
down just because they don't want you to be happy or successful in many aspects. They have
always something to say but despite this, I stand tall to face the reality that not everyone is happy
with the compliments you receive. That's why I came up with the idea that in this world no one
can dictate my capabilities because ultimately, I and myself alone will be my armor and shield in
dealing with the bigger problem in life that I will go through. If I am swayed by their words, I'm
not good as I am today.

I learn that if you believe in yourself and you have the determination no one can stop you from
soaring high in the sky. There is a song that keeps me reminded that I believe I can achieve and
one of the stanzas really stood me out it said "I believe in the impossible If I reach deep within
my heart, overcome any obstacle" this phrase really wakes me up every time I lost motivation.
The only thing you need to do is to reach in your heart and believe that you can do it, remember
fortune favors the brave and luck is only for those who make them. Be the center of your own
life and everything will circle around you.

Dignity comes with the day we were born it just expand as we grow. For me, dignity is how
you respect other decisions and value your own. Dignity is a complex thing that everyone has
their own and we shouldn't cross those things remember that every person has their limits we
should pay attention to those to avoid trespassing in other boundaries. God also gives us the
dignity to choose for ourselves because he doesn't want us to rebel someday, that's why he gives
us the freedom to choose. This word is essential to us humans it lightens our self this is also what
makes us human to have the dignity seen in you by the other people it makes me feel like you
exist. We are different in morals, religion, insight, beliefs, race, and others but we are united for
what we call human dignity. Dignity is a power that should be possess by every individual.
Lastly, it's important to know your flaws and faults it doesn’t mean you reside on them or you
down yourself if you express them. Acknowledging those error is knowing yourself. Self-
awareness is how you decide what you can and what to change and what you should accept
cause when you know yourself, you are powerful and if you embrace yourself, you are
invincible.
