While you’re sort of reading this over, let me guess what’s creeps your mind. Perhaps some of you here might seem to be excited hearing something inspirational, something that might get through your system from somebody who is a stranger to you. You might think this is another blah, blah or whatever! on the net. With whole honesty, I took a pause for a while and try to collect myself asking, what would exactly inspire OUR youthful mind. I said “OURs” (that includes me) because I felt very young when I am surrounded by teens like you. Exactly, because I believe, I am still part of what they call the generation X, the generation of Ipods and PSP’s, the era of powerful imagination.

When I was your age, many would ask us; do we ever get serious about anything? We’re sometimes mistaken as ‘emo’ because often get too caught up with our emotions. Most of us have hang-ups about getting “in” or simply being cool. We have a lot of insecurities. We want to look good. We want to feel great. We want to explore. We like to take risks for adventure. As for future plans, many may not have even thought of anything serious for college.

The trend never ceases to change. The trend yesterday is the same as the trend of today! But we can always make a difference for a better a change. I believe many of you here experience the same scenario like mine because this is NORMAL, this is the age of “growing up”. Though the difference matter in fashion evolution, your great mind’s eye will bring and make you somebody you want to become when you’re grown up.

I should say, my experiences being like you helped me to be what I am today, I am proud to say that because of the struggles I had during my years like yours, I was able to bring home not just the bacon but the whole lechon. I finished two courses and landed in a stable career. I was able to stand with the pressures your age encounters. Survivor kung baga, I had open my eyes, and see the bigger picture of my playground, I see that beyond my colorful playhouses, sturdy little tikes, and sand boxes is wild jungle of predators waiting to attack their prey. Guys, If we keep ourselves ready for the attack, we would be able to fight them all and become winners in our own rights when we are grown up.
