CHANGE
They say change is the only
constant thing in this world. Everything in the whole universe changes as time
goes by. These changes can affect us either negatively or positively. I
believe that within the past three to five years of my life, I have positively
changed; physically, emotionally, and mentally.
I have
developed physically. I began practicing good personal hygiene. If I have spare time, I play sports like badminton. In going
to places at short distance, I always
walk instead of taking a pedicab. At times when I feel bored watching television, I often sweep the floor,
wash my clothes, or clean my room and arrange the things inside my room.
I have changed emotionally. I learned
to treasure good relationships with my friends, my classmates, and my family.
When I am not busy, I always help my younger sisters with their projects and
assignments. Sometimes I also tutor my two younger sisters, Vanessa—Grade 5 –
and Adelita—Grade 3. At times my younger sisters and I are free, I always
invite them to play jumping rope and sing in the karaoke machine. These would
serve as our bonding moment. At night time, we gather in our parents bed (since
my parents sleep late watching television dramas) and I will tell them scary
stories or jokes sometimes (which I personally made) and they end up scared and
sometimes laughing in my “corny” jokes.
I
have matured mentally. I developed techniques which would be helpful in
preventing my bad temper and helpful in controlling my emotions in times that I
am hurt. Before sharing my opinion to someone, I first consider what they would
feel and how they would react on what I am going to say to them. Since I am living alone here in Dumaguete, I
began to practice how to be independent and how to face my problems alone.
Sometimes when I hear someone complaining about the negative personality of
another person, I first observe them –the person complaining and the person
she/he was complaining about—, after I finished observing them, that’s the time
I will judge who has bad personality between the two .
We
all changed through the years not just in our physical aspect but also in our
emotional and mental aspects. I believe that these changes has affected me in a positive way. These physical, emotional, and
mental changes helped me to be mature in understanding life and its meaning.
It also helped in opening my eyes that inspite of the failures I am
experiencing today, there will be a successful future ahead.
