What I Am 10 Years from Now

Life is about having a chance to do something not just for yourself but also for other people. Doing something for other is always be the best feeling ever you can feel. So what I am ten years from now? Like what other wants to achieved, to help their parents, to finished study. A very simple wish makes them happy, but is it bad to wish for something more? Be successful at any career you really want with your family, have a medals, an honor with your diploma in college. Is that how people think about life? Simple and just simply simple? Why not tell yourself that you can do much better than what you have thought.



For me, life is too short to limit yourself to dream of what you really deserve. Maybe ten years from now, I can be a successful programmer, a successful businesswoman, nor a teacher. Well, I can be what I want cause I know I deserve it and not just because I wish for it nor I should be. But we must remember that what you deserved are what you worked to. Like the phrase "Nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa." Sometimes we call God when we need help, but forget about Him when everything around us are perfectly okay. Haven't you think of thanking Him for what have you have right now, whether it is good or bad? Same with asking Him what you want to be ten years from now. But had you think about it if you really deserved it?



"Mag sumikap ka" -- the line of our parents nor relatives. "Wag mong pababayaan ang pag-aaral mo" -- a line of your guardian, parents. But ten years from now, if you finished college, are you going to be a professional? Will you pursue master degree? or you will sit at home, being "palamon" or having your own family after graduate? Wouldn't you give your guardian/parents a good life after their sacrifice for your tuition fee? or  don't you have this "utang na loob" for them? Life is too short to live like your in paradise. You should cherish it like your gonna die the next day.


I am a BSIT student, 19 year old, turning 20 this coming August 24. I have my dream of becoming a future businesswomen, and a programmer. Ten years from now, I'll make my parents happy as well as my relatives, I want them to be proud of me.


Ten years from now, I may be the happiest person ever. Seeing my parents happy, proud of me makes me complete. I'll be a successful businesswomen, I'll be having my perfect business for myself and for my family. I will never be "pabigat" because I know in myself that I can be that successful because I deserved it. As of now, I have my small business from my "ipon" / allowance that my Aunt gave me. And I know someday, this small business will spread in the world and have a lot of branches. Kasi nag susumikap ako. It's not for myself, but this is for my family and for my future as well.



May God be the glory.
