HARDWORK + POSITIVE OUTLOOK + GREAT FRIENDSHIP + FUN = SUCCESS!

             

            “While most are dreaming of success, winners wake-up and work hard to achieve it.”  A quote that mirrors III-LEAH, this ran to each of us as I see our FAMILY  make  our routines perfect for the cheer dance category for the field demo.  Despite of loaded school works, there is the shooting for Noli Me Tangere, the Science Congress and the Blog, I saw that each did his best to cooperate and I felt how the real CAMARADERIE was formed. Even those who will not really dance attended practice and supported us with food. They stayed in our practices. I saw how the LEAH sacrificed for our practices. The outcome of tiring nights after school hours, hungry stomachs and exhausted bodies was really worth it. We did not just practice; we had fun, glorify God and built stronger relationships with each other. As the days passed by, more exhausting nights happened. We had an experience that in our practice, it came to a point that we cannot see each other because there is no light. It is about seven in the evening if I am not mistaken. We tried our best to balance our studies and to save energy for our “after-school activity.”

            One of the factors that let us do our best for that competition is our fellow schoolmates. We was really challenged by their preparation especially the seniors and the sophomores. We saw how they are dedicated to the field demo. Oh! We only FELT! :D

            The next one is our SACRIFICES, I remember that t in our practices, one is  required to wear the proper clothes and there is a fee if one will disobey.  We also made “AMBAGAN” for our food. The meaning of FAMILY is there whenever we eat together, share our thoughts and do our routines.

            When the day that we are waiting for came, I saw the excitement and thrill as each year performs. Honestly, when the sophomores came in the center to perform, I said to myself “Eto na!” I was really excited to see them perform! I do not know why. When our turn came, I said to myself that I will just enjoy this event and make the most out of it. It happened! I felt how we enjoyed while we perform and how the audiences smiled at us. All our hardworks was paid off.  It is all worth it!

            The judges are fair. I trust them because I know that the school will not invite them if they do not have the knowledge and capacity to make fair decisions.

            I am not a player but as I saw how the TUMCSIANS played, I think there is a friendship and fairness that happened during the times that they played. I only hope that each of them had a nice game and had fun.

            After a rollercoaster week, it imparted me a great lesson that I should:

Enjoy life, feel alive. 
Face the crowd. 
Be proud. 
Perform. 
Shine your brightest! 
Love every minute of it.
Amaze them.

 and!  I should do everything for God’s glory. I also learned that everything that I do will be easier if I am having fun doing it.  Being optimistic that we can do it within a shot span of time is also one of the VALUES I learned. And there are no shortcuts to learn.  Actually, I only learned the true meaning of a family in a classroom during my high school days.  I really love the LEAH FAMILY! 

WE REACHED THE TOP! :D
