hello there 🙂
POETRY IN MOTION…
I’ve always been lost in terms of knowing what I really want in life.
Growing up, I really didn’t know what I wanted to become. I never knew nor met my father, so I wasn’t inspired in terms of what job I wanted to have when I grow up. I also know that I don’t want to be in the office just like my mother. She has a good and stable job, but I don’t like the field she’s into. My grandmother was a former teacher and school principal, but taking education was always a second choice. I really don’t know what I want.
During elementary and high school, my grades were high in all of my subjects. It wasn’t the highest, but I was always in the best section, and my GPA was among the highests in our batch. However, like what I said, I didn’t know what I wanted as a job. Only thing I know is that I always chose what makes me happy. Having good grades and being top 1 in class never really got me excited. Yes, it was good to be recognized, but it doesn’t really make me happy.
My mother wanted me to take engineering or architecture considering my good grades in math and science, but I told her I would not be happy with that. Good thing she didn’t insist. My uncles advised that I should take computer related courses, I’m not really into it. The thing that really made me happy was basketball, but I’ve accepted from an early age that I wasn’t that good let alone being not tall to become a pro ball player.
With that, I really didn’t know what I want to become. I was a member of the Las Piñas Boys Choir, into singing, but I don’t really want to be a perfomer all my life.
However, I’ve always enjoyed watching news, reading articles, books, and stories but only about basketball. Really, only basketball, those were the things I enjoyed doing besides playing and watching again, basketball. ‘Til one day, I was required to write and submit a story as a requirement in our English class during 4th year high school. I actually enjoyed it, and got high grades from it. In grade 12, it again happened. I wrote another story which even got me exempted from our final exams.
That’s when I discovered that I was into writing, creating stories, and expressing my thoughts. I have always enjoyed expressing my thoughts through telling stories to my friends, and creating stories that are in a way based on my experiences and such. Writing essays would always excite me for it is a chance for me to show myself. It was during that time when I realized what I was good at, and was actually having fun. I enjoy talking to people, relaying stories to them, getting their opinions on things, and being able to communicate with them.
Maybe that’s the reason why I’m in AB Communication Arts. The best part is I’m good at it, and I am definitely happy with it. Happiness would always be my priority in life. It is what motivates me. It is what moves me. I’ll always choose happiness over money, fame, success, and other things, and I’m very happy when I get the opportunity to express myself. How about you? What makes you move? What makes you happy?
