My Secret Dream

During my first year in law school, I casually told my classmate, Ma'am Geraldine, one of the reasons why I want to be a lawyer....

She smiled at me when I told her, "When I will be a lawyer, I wanted to be a guest speaker in a graduation exercises of my alma mater"... She could have thought it a joke, because that dream was so simple and not one that would spark an interest. Yah, I thought too, that what I dreamt of doing is insignificant....

Years passed by but my mind was still bugged by my somewhat silly statement. Yet, I realized that when I uttered those words, it meant a lot to me. I wanted to talk before the graduates and inspire them with my life's experiences and struggles.

My secret dream became a reality yesterday. I did deliver my Commencement Speech in the graduation exercises of my alma mater. I felt so happy! I hope that I was able to touch young hearts towards the right track and make them dream big and pursue their dreams no matter what....

My lucky number: 837

I have mixed feelings upon hearing the most-awaited news in my life... My friends already cried with happiness, but I have not cried a tear when they called me up of the results of the Bar Exam.

PASSING THE 2011 BAR EXAM IS NOT A JOKE. It means a new life for me. I felt in my heart excitement, happiness and uneasiness! I have to be sure that I really made it and see for myself that it is really happening. That I am now a Lawyer for real!...

When I finally saw with my own two eyes the result, I was listed in number 837, I was truly overjoyed!!!! Thank You so much my Lord, my Creator for giving me this wonderful gift.

Yes!!!! I won the battle!
