You and Me
Another week has ended in my final year as a student of Lourdes School of Mandaluyong. Now as a senior in this prestigious institution, I can say that I have learned numerous facts about life itself and this world of ours. And for my ten years of education in this establishment, I cannot really exclaim that I have learned everything that there is to know. Because just last week, I was able to learn one of the most fundamental things in life, and that is friendship. Last week our priorities were set on developing ourselves and the group to where we belong. But why is there a need to develop ourselves and what does developing ourselves really mean? These were the same questions that babbled in my head when I heard that for one whole week we were to focus on developing ourselves and our relationships to our group mates as well. I was actually outrageous when I found out that the series of activities we really did were in fact fruitful and were actually helping not only ourselves but the whole group also. Even though I doubted the outcome of all the activities we did last week, I eventually admitted, because of embarrassment, that it really was a successful. Through this, I was able to remember an old saying, “Neve . . .
And with regards of me choosing the two other members of my group, I draw two papers from a box and picked my other two members. I said to myself, “I must be able to pick the best because my grade depends on it. As shock as I was, I was able to draw two of the brightest minds in our class. I guess I indeed learned my lesson in this one, The week was full of activities for us to concentrate on ourselves and our on development as a person and an individual. That is why I chose a friend rather than a person who is actually smart but doesn’t have the qualities of an assistant or as I may call it an encourager, but of a leader. This is first time my immaturity becomes visible. The latter part of the week was all about team building. Even though they were academically gifted, I actually know them very well. My conscience took over me, and I was able to realize the mistake I had for doubting one’s abilities. Therefore, one self is needed for an entire group to be able to mobilize and use their capabilities for their own success. Of course our group knew what was ahead of them and the first thing we put into our plan was unity. Then the last sequel of the activity was a game of centipede race. I felt sorry to myself when she succeeded, because this was the person I was having doubts and discourages every action she takes. And through this friendship that we hold, we are all confident on achieving success not only for ourselves but for the group as well, and these could all be done only through the guidance of our Almighty Father, of which we are all doing this for his greater glory, and our own perseverance, determination, will, and courage. I was so preoccupied about my grades that I wasn’t able to consider others feelings.
