 PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE
“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how”

I chose this quote by Friedrich Nietzsche as my philosophy in life

due to the fact that everyone including myself knows that we have a
purpose that we must fulfill in life. If a person is motivated enough to
seek out the answer to the main question on why they do something
that they expected to do or not in that very same moment, it will still
have an impact on us. I believe that my interpretation from this quote
would be that if I have a reason to take an opportunity and make it
mine despite knowing that there would be sacrifices to be made, I
wouldn’t regret such sacrifices because it will highly lead to more
fulfillment in the future. Only I will be the one who is able to determine
the way I live my life, and that is, to the fullest. Amidst problems or
obstacles along the way, I will never forget my dreams which made me
start moving forward as I learn, have fun, and continue growing.

 SCHOOL AGE
All this time while studying, from different schools and different
countries till now there have been a factor that has served as a great
motivation to move along and go with the flow. There is no doubt that I
worked hard and tried my best all the way from graduating elementary
in Spain and then coming back to the Philippines for JHS and SHS. I
have had multiple experiences in each one and most of them have lead
to a greater end on my part, from the various interactive and inspiring
events like laboratory exercises and plays to the concentration needed
seriousness from time to time with competitions and all that, I have
learnt through this part of my journey in growing up and finally realizing
that even though I have already tried my best, there is really no harm in
challenging yourself to do a little more in breaking your own limits. After
all, students have various potential and I’m going to make that true for
myself because only I can decide which path to take at the end of the
day as well as to continue being someone who can one day finally
make a difference on the bigger scale.

 TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD
I will be studying an engineering course in college and after I
finally graduate, I will apply to any potential companies that suit my
course and also my interests. After I finally secure a job and earn
enough money, I would like to start travelling again in different
countries. I doubt I would be interested in any relationships, so I will
mainly focus on supporting my parents just like how they have always
supported me during my childhood, hence why I would also treat them
to trips around the world with me so that they can finally relax while I’ll
be the one willingly repaying the favour. Of course, I am certain that I
will definitely meet new people in the future, those from work and from
outside, then of course have reunions with older friendships and former
schoolmates. I will still give my very best in everything I do, from
hobbies, career, to supporting those I care about while living decently.
Additionally, I hope that I will be able to contribute to making the world
at least a little bit better.

 AGING
As I am nearing my end, I would like to say that I am extremely
grateful to all the people I have interacted with in my life, I would like
to thank my parents for raising and supporting me, and for letting me
learn all that was necessary till this day. To my closest friends, thank
you for always lending an ear to all things I had to say to the world. I
would also like to thank how everyone gave me inspiration in my daily
life, even though most might think that they haven’t done much, even a
little thing can be impactful in someone else’s life and in this case, mine.
I would want to say that I have no regrets but that unfortunately isn’t
true, I still wish to do much more and keep going on but if the time
comes and when I am no longer here, I hope that everyone else will still
keep going forward and fulfilling their goals and that may they stay
healthy, be happy and if they are currrently stuck in something, I hope
that they will find themselves out of it. Life has been quite hectic for me
and I don’t mean it in a negative way but in a positive one,
because amidst all the chaos is where you find most opportunities
and that is exactly what I always plenned to do. Again, thank you
everyone and may the stars always guide you.
