My Legacy
Thursday, March 6th, 2008My Legacy
The only thing that a person can’t avoid in his entire life is death. It is a moment where every one of us thinks that all ends there. But for me death doesn’t mean the end. Death gives meaning to whatever we have done in the past. How we touched others and made our lives the way God wanted it to be.
I’ve done so many things in my life to which I’ve gained and loss persons and things which I thought would last. But despite of the failures and defeats I know I’ve gained many things that neither a book nor a teacher could educate me. And these things are what I call life’s irreplaceable wisdom.
Whenever I talk to someone and reminisce things I always enjoy it. Good or bad experiences I really don’t care whatever those are because for me it molded me to the person I wanted to be, a person who treasures moments and love people like I will never see them again. I want to be remembered like this because I know this is really who I am.
As a Filipino I honor my country and love the culture we have. I enjoy every fiestas, processions, celebrations and traditions. I’ve grown with sense of love to our country though speaking bout the truth, our country is really not a unified one. Corruption and lack of love to what we have are what I see to most of us. A simple piece of trash can’t be put to its proper place by most of us. Small responsibilities that can’t be done exemplifies that what will happen if big ones are given?
As a student I study not only for myself but also for the people who I love. I’m not that super responsible and my studying disciplines are not great. But describing myself as a Bedan I value every opportunities that are given to me. I maximize the time to learn and know things, which I ought to know because I know that making my foundations strong can prepare me to the jungle that we have outside school.
As a friend I always make jokes and treasure every moment spent with them. I always take pictures and remember the times when we laughed like there will be no tomorrow. What I like the most when I’m with my friends is eating with them, I mean really eating big! Haha! Jokes and the happiness of sharing those times with them always give smile in my face.
As a brother and the only son in our family I always make sure that my two sisters are safe and not feeling alone since both of my parents are not here in the Philippines. I’m a type of person who shows my care and love physically. Like hugging and kissing my sisters often. Doing and saying jokes for them and seeing their laughing faces makes my heart glad too.
As a son I value the hardships and sacrifices that my parents are experiencing for us. I’ve received many awards and achievements in my entire life as a student, a man and a Christian. And having those moments without my parents give me sadness that I can’t hide because I know that those moments can’t be repeated anymore. I just always pray that it won’t happen to my son or daughter too in the future.
As a Christian I always thank God for the blessings that I received. Whether big or small, wherever I am I always look up and thank Him, our creator. I never blamed God for the misfortunes that happened to me instead I thank him for giving me those things to which I learned a lot.
As a man I will love that person like she will be my last. I will always make her feel that I’m always there for her. And seeing her smile and happy because of me will make me glad too. I will always try to reach out whenever I do something wrong and say sorry for it. I want to be remembered as a man who never leaves someone even in the hardest times and a man who loves like no other man can do…But for now she’s just here in this world, unknown and still anonymous. I know someday we will cross paths maybe not now but in God’s time.
When I die I won’t be seen anymore and I won’t be there physically but I know I will always be remembered with all of these things. For I know, people who I’ve been with my life will remember that many times in their lives, Jenno touched their hearts and made them cry because of pain and much happiness.
