start some change now

Wow what a day can do. Yesterday, i was ranting about how I'm lacking extra-curricular activities and then boom! I have lots of things to do in my hands. Yay! At least, I won't feel as useless and pathetic as I felt yesterday. But that's just the easy part of it all as I have to fulfill all the tasks that will be assigned to me. And that's kinda shady right now. With the work experience I had last year, it seems that I might be having a hard time fulfilling all my duties. Tamaditis-stricken kasi eh. haha. But I promise and hope to change that. After all, I guess, I've found the organization which would motivate me and help me grow so much as a person.

It seems that some people think that they really cannot do anything now as mere students to change the world. I mean, they'll say that they need to wait and have money before they can actually help people. They want to graduate first and earn much before they could actually help. I mean it's some noble reason but here's a thought to ponder on. Could that money you earn in the future save somebody really needing help from today? Aanhin mo pa nga ang damo diba kung patay na ang kabayo?

The problem with today is that we belittle ourselves to having no capacity of sparking some change. We always think that people who have the capacity to change the world are those sitting atop political and social structures. But we're wrong. We have the power now. We just have to look around and take advantage of the opportunities surrounding us. As college students and future bigwigs of the country, we are encouraged to start sparking change in our small way now so that when our turn to lead comes, the spark has already blossomed into fire.
