i managed the classroom discussion when the teacher was not around. i usually joined lot of contests just like quiz bee, spelling contest, cooking show and extemporaneous speaking. as the eldest in the family im always odebient to do household chores and other activities. though we are not rich, but hte respect and treatment of other people had been high and well-desereved. these were the scenery
of my childhood days; i lived formally with good values and right direction. as i crossed the threshold of teenage life, there were comlexities and changes. but i remained to be simple, obedient, diligent and religious man. just like in my elementary years, i was soserious throughout my high scool days. i never let failures came to my education even if we experienced hardships in life. i really salute to my parents for their untiring, never retreat nor surrendered love and support for me and my co-siblings. i really soar high in academics during high school and college days; i gained many friends and extended families. i felt that i was one of the popular media icons or tycoons of the business world due to several were in good spirits at me. a joy has always it's opposite and that's the unforeseen emergencies and tragedies in life. i don't want to reminisce it one by one. they appear out of the blue but no regrets because all plans of God have purposes and certain direction. when my sister at her early age was operated in the head particularly in brain, nomember of the family give up but strengthen our faith to almighty God. Miracles happened andthis fired ups our faith to Jesus Christ that he can move mountains and clear the speedy storms. Even of many persecutions, helpless hands of my few raltives and wrong biases and judgments of our neighbors, on one stops us to move on. i humble myself before the Lord and continue the valuable journey toward brighter future. Pushing towards excellence would not be achieved without knowing our living God. my colorful and meaningful days started when i truly encountered Jesus Christ in my life. this was with the help of the different pastors, leaders and church enthusiasts, who trained, mentored and perpetrated my faith. I will not forget also the memories of hiking mayny mountains in different places to preach the word of God and have fellowship with highland and rural Christian. it's like we or i reached the sky as we share our times, treasures and talents to the needy people. On process i learned to keep my self away from worldly activities and invitations. From being a in-demand hyper hosts of many secular and political programs i evolved into a religious program coordinator, leader of christian groups and family-centered indiviual. In our circle today, God always destined a right leader who is a good follower. as i quote the bible text heb. 13:8 that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever", I hope and I pray that i will keep his righteouness. the same in our team, we will make a difference and keep the fire burning. every story counts for the glory of God.
