"Don't count every hour of the day, make every hour in the day count" - Alfred Binet
I received this gift from our Student Interns from Cebu Roosevelt University, Bogo City. They finished their internship last March 22, 2024.
As I looked at the clock and set the exact time of the day, I realized I needed to choose my decision in life wisely. There is no need to waste more time drowning myself in misery.
The next day around was the first day for the four days of the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) 2024. I woke up early with a low spirit and a lack of energy due to problems in life.
I had to cheer myself, I told myself "Self you have an obligation in your work, your presence will help to cheer the young ones".
So this is Me standing on the road waiting for the Ceres Bus to take me to the venue at SM Consolacion.
I did not let my husband send me to the venue. Why? I want to be alone and also to save for transportation.
I need to be myself for a while. I don't like them to notice my emotions. They thought I was okay because I did not share how heavy the loads that I carried on my shoulder.
I was enjoying myself during the travel. I need to let go of my misery and hold on to the peacefulness of my mind.
At last, I arrived at the Venue safe and sound. I was at the SM Consolacion and I arrived at the exact time of the opening program.
As I sat there and listened to all the speakers I realized I made the right decision. Their knowledge and wisdom enlightened the minds of not only the young ones but to myself.
To all my contestants both in elementary and secondary departments good luck and God bless! Win or lose congratulations. This is now the right time for you to hold on to your dreams of becoming a Journalist.
I know that allowing you to join this competition will have a great impact on your life. The lesson and experience you have now will not be exchanged for money.
While I was enjoying myself with them I forgot the time to go home. I realized it was already too late to wait for the bus to go home. It was not safe for me to travel alone at night.
So I decided to sleep over in the billeting quarter intended for them. I decided to travel back home early morning in the next day.
While traveling back home I think deeply and feel my heart condition. I felt a little at ease. Only a little because I needed to face the reality of how to solve the burden I carried without anyone from the family noticing it.
Maybe you are curious about what is it all about that I don't want my family to get involved. It is not that it is a secret but because I love my family I don't want them to feel bad for me that they are not able to help.
Well I know with great people surrounding me I can cope with this as soon as possible.
This is your @richdreamer still dreaming of becoming rich someday 😁🫰🥰. Maybe not in money but with love and a peaceful mind.
