Gospels:
Who is Jesus in my life?
Jesus is my balloon. Why? Because balloons comfort me when i'm down. You may think i'm weird , but its true. He stays by me when i need help. I hold on to him, and he never leaves my side. Jesus also leads me to God. When you let a balloon go, it goes straight up to the heavens. Jesus also leads us to the heavens when we let go of our humanly life.
How did I know him?
At first, I learned about him from my parents. Then, I shortly began going to school where they taught me about him. Teachers elaborated very well what he actually did for us. Thirteen years of my life my Christian Life Education and Bibstud teachers have been talking to us about Jesus and the miracles that he has done to save the world. My friends also remind me of what Jesus has done to help me and the people around me.
What are my experiences with him?
Each and everyday I have experiences with Jesus. He walks with me through the streets to get me from one place to the other, he goes with me to school and helps me in coping with school and training. I know he is there. Hardships and pain. Through laughs and tears. But the most significant events where I really felt his presence was first, when my dad was killed. It was really to accept. I never imagined my dad leaving us that way. It was the most agonizing feeling that I ever felt. But as I prayed each and everyday, I felt his presence telling me to be strong and keep on fighting for the family. To be strong for my sisters who still don't understand the world today.
Another experience is when i would go out on the the court and play volleyball. Through training and games, he helps me out on not giving up. as much as possible I have to keep on pushing myself to be better that what I already am. And I know he is always there to help me in every step of the way.
Acts of the Apostles:
Who are the people I led to God / Who are the people who led me to God?
My family, my sisters and my friends are the ones who I led to God and they also led me to God. They played a very big role on teaching me that God is always beside us in good or bad situations.
How did I lead them to God / How did they lead me to God?
In times of hardships they tell me to seek God's help I also do the same to them. In times of victory and happiness we also acknowledge God's presence. They make me understand that everything happens for a reason. That God has a plan for each and every one of us.

My Family

God gave me the best blessing I could ever have. I have a very strong family. I am sorry for all my shortcomings and disappointments but I will make sure that one day, I will also become a really good person in this world. You have teached me everything I know, from culture to relationships. Thank you for giving me the inspiration to become who I am today. I will not let all of you down. Thank you for the support and I could never ask for more. I love you all and Take care. May God bless you all. :)
My Friends
To all my very loyal friends, thank you for all the memories that we have shared. Thank you for all the times we have been through, for the times we laughed, cried. Thank you for the moments that would last a lifetime. Thank you for molding me into a person that i am now. You guys have been my second family. Thanks for being with me through the times my family does not understand. I really appreciate being friends with all of you. You have been very supportive when my dad died last July 27. Thank you for being there. I really love you all. I miss most of you. Hope to see you again soon. Godbless!
My Countrymen and Women
To my dearest Filipinos, we need to make a stand against poverty and corruption as soon as possible. Our country is really rich with its natural resources, so why won't me use these to become a better country? We need to take the leap. I know that with a voice as small as mine, we will not make it alone. But if we all work together and make a big voice, maybe someone would hear us.
Our Mother Earth
To our dearest mother earth, I know people of today are very ignorant people when it comes to taking very good care of you. I know that even though it was our doing that has caused destruction, some of the people has blamed you. You have taken care of our world with the most generous blessings you could give. We will try our very hardest to restore your natural beauty.
Our Church
To our church, at first i can't seem to find what your real purpose is when i was very young. As time flew by, I started to realize that the church actually plays a big part in our lives. I was lazy to go to church back then, and I am very sorry for that. But now that I have found your true meaning, I am willing to give up even just one hour of my time to be with God.
Revelations:
What are my Hopes and Dreams?
As a kid, I was told by my parents to have high hopes and dreams. But as of now, I hope to become as successful as my parents. To handle my own business in the future. I dream to become a chef or a businesswoman someday. I hope to have a happy family of my own and a home of my own. I will work hard to achieve each and every one of my hopes and dreams.
How do I see my life 10 years from now?
Well, ten years from now, I would see myself being a successful chef with my own restaurant. I would see myself providing for my family. I would also have kids and of course be married. I would still want to be in touch with my old friends but make more new ones. I would also be in touch with God still.
