The first time I have read 'You Will Never See Me Fall' by Joyce Alcantara, the poem immediately touched my heart and provided strength in my weakening soul. There was a tough year where I went through a lot of struggles in my family, social life, academics, and business. It was difficult for me to act strong especially that at my young age, I believed that everything and everyone was turning their backs on me.

Remembering the lines from the poem allows me to reflect on the happenings in my life. I felt that the author has the same experience as mine which made me think that I am not alone. I consider it as the most life-changing text because I became more positive, determined, and hopeful as time goes by and as challenges continue to arise. "You may see me struggle, but you won't see me fall" has become a mantra for me when I'm feeling down.

If I hadn't had the opportunity to read this poem, I might still be the weak one from a few years ago. Therefore, reading texts is really vital because every word has a significant impact on one's soul. Words are more than just words; they can be with you when no one else can. These are something you can hold onto when everyone else's hands let go of you. Lastly, it can motivate you to become a better and stronger version of yourself.

Since Spider-man has been talked about lately, a text I had on my mind is from the marvel comics "With great power comes great responsibility". For some reason this makes me motivated because spider-man is really a teen badass character.

I don't read that much but reading makes you entertained with imaginations and thoughts of other persons while also improve your understanding & reading skills which is important.

For me, it's The Alchemist. This novel taught me to pursue my dreams by following what my heart's desires. With each passing obstacle and hurdle, we can learn a lesson. Through this, I realized that reading is important in one's life because it stimulates one's imagination. It allows us to dream and think in ways we couldn't before.

As far as I remember, the story that I red is Until He Was Gone by Jonaxx. This story is about love, I learnt how to be patient to wait for your love once, don’t rush that kind of relationship, since it is not that worth it, if you rush it. But, if you patiently wait for it, it will become the most unforgettable thing that happened into your life. Reading has aided me in learning something that I should be aware of.
Because of that, I am also able to read perfectly.

There is this one quote from Russel Barkley, a psychologist.
"People who need the most love, often ask for it in the most unlovable ways" and I stand by that. because as I have observed people, there are a lot of people who lash out and or are very irritable and unreasonable and the truth is that they really just need a lot of love. And I'm not saying this to excuse their behavior or for us to put up with that behavior like that. But I do think that having that in mind can help us become more passionate and have more empathy for people in general. Reading doesn't always have to be in an academic sense but the ability to read people, their reasons, their myriad of personalities is a precious tool anyone of us can learn to make the world a little less painful to live in.

the text that changed my life was the bible I used to be a sinner I always swore and watched 🤬 but because I felt that all that was wrong the word of god changed me.

reading is very important because it passes on to people details that we cannot memorize reminders that we should know.

I could say that 'The Taste of Sky' written by ventrecanard has made my views in life vast. I admire how righteous the female lead is. And I am also amazed of how the male lead loved her so much. Although he ended up dead in an asteroid explosion, sacrificing himself for earth and for his love, Behati with their child. This text made me realize why reading is vital in one's life. A text is something that could make you feel a lot of emotions, and I need to feel those emotions because I'm addicted to crying my heart and letting my emotions free at night. Reading is needed everywhere since every signage, the bank notes, the menu in a restaurant, all need to be read.

Last 2014 I bought a book entitled The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. One of the line of the line from the book that  I would never forget was "pain deserves to be felt" because no matter how hard we try to hide the pain that we are feeling, we don’t get to choose if we get hurt; it is a near certainty that we will experience pain.

Reading this text made me change how I deal pain in life and reading this text made me realize that each individual has a problem that they are going through.

The text that had the most impact or life changing to me was the story from wattpad “Will you cry when I die?” is the title of that story and I cannot recall who the author was, but the story was so wonderful. The genre of this story is fantasy and mystery. Every chapter of this story has a short poem that makes you realize that dying is a moment in life where everyone will start to love you. It will make you feel how special you are. It gives me the feeling of sadness and how life could be. It changes how I look at situations, especially in problems.

Reading is important because it gives information or experience in person. It also gives entertainment and sometimes a person who reads, seeks emotion in reading. And for me, reading is a way of relaxation to me. It gives the feeling of traveling to another world. It gives joy in reading a story, seeing what others think and how they feel even if they are not existing or how the author makes the story.

A post from a fan account on Twitter that has a caption of  "Just because others are having difficulties, doesn’t mean that yours get any less difficult." I considered it life-changing because it assures me that my feelings are valid. That our feelings are valid, whether it's just because of a small or big thing. It also says that comparing feelings won't do any good.

Reading text is important because it helps an individual to grow in any aspect, that someone will grow mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. It also gives new information, and learn and develops skills about different things.

Rupi Kaur's works are the ones I read in my spare time. The poem "Milk and Honey" is an example of this. Reading poems is important for me because it helps me with my speech patterns and gives me knowledge about the use of punctuation marks. Sometimes I can relate to these as well, as it gives me advices that I can use in any situation.

A life-changing text I have read is the children's book "The giving tree". This story focuses on a boy and a tree with a special bonding right when the boy was still young. Because the boy was slowly growing up, the distance between the boy and the tree became bigger. In the end, due to the tree's love and care for the boy, the tree was ready to give everything even itself just for the boy's needs.

This story helped me changed my life for the better because it taught me how to never expect anything in return when you give something. I learned that giving should come from the heart wholeheartedly. I also learned that even when people leave you, there will always be that someone who is ready to be with you until the very end.

There are a lot of quotes that moved my heart in different occasions. I couldn't find it anywhere but I have this little quote that helped me write my new year's resolution, "if you don't feel pressured, you are not doing enough."

During those moments, I'm mortified about adulthood and my responsibility as the eldest of the family. I'm pressured about the road I'm taking, the decisions I'm making, and the risk I'm about to make. I know to myself that my plan is big, I don't know if I'm capable to do it or I'm out of my mind. But when I heard that quote, it relieves my heart that everything is alright. Then it reminds me of Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken. It's better to choose the path that takes up risk, at least moving forward, you will be satisfied with the decision you made. In the words of Deshauna Barber, "Do not fear failure, but please, be terrified of regret."

The text that I've read that changed my life is the poem by Emma J. Swain entitled 'Find Your Drive'. It's life changing for me because it states that you need to keep fighting in your life for you to survive. That you need to find your passion in order for you to find yourself and enjoy your life while you're also loving it and yourself. Even if it's hard to live, all those hardships create who you are today.

I think reading texts is vital in one's life because it helps the reader to gain or to obtain new knowledge and reading can also teach you lessons whether about life, academics, religion, history, love, cultures, traditions, etc.

"To make your ambitions come true, you have to make risk"

I forgot where did I stumble upon this phrase but it is the most remarkable phrase that I've read that really made an impact in myself. I consider it as life-changing because this phrase really motivated and sparked many realizations within me.

During  my 16 years of existance, I've realize that some things may not always go according to plan and there are many risks and sacrifices along the way so you just have to make sacrifices and take risks to make your ambitions come true. In this way, you've done your besta and have less regrets.

Reading texts have so many purpose from obtaining knowledge to entertaining one's self. In my perspective, reading texts is one of the vital factors that affect the growth of a person as an individual because we obtain knowledge through reading, we also somehow communicate through reading, we become inspired or obtain ideas through reading, just how I realize and learn many things from the quoted texts above from a literary text that pushed me to grow as an individual.

Teacher of mine, now a professor at University of Santo Thomas said to me verbatimly "The world does not need help, it need revolution. Revolution is change Hiro; not a charity that someone can give it to you only at his/her will."

As a Marxist-Leninist, this world is blinded by fascism; the rich that is. Capitalism blinds the oppressed that in order to survive this world they must also become an oppressor.

"End is not your spot, so fight."
This line had a big impact in my perception about life, when I read this line, many realizations came into my mind and how I live my life. It says that ending is not meant for me, as long as I breathe I should continue to fight and fight until I succeed. This text also helped me to realize that this kind of reading can have a big realizations in our life and can change our negative perceptions in our life. It can be lesson and a full of wisdom meaning.

“You really didn't see the sadness or the longing unless you already knew it was there. But that was the trick, wasn't it? Everyone had their disappointment and their baggage; only, some people carried it in their inside pockets and not on their backs.”
― Maggie Stiefvater

It's not the same statement, but it conveys the same concept; I saw it in a movie, but I can't recall the title. This paragraph is quite detailed. You may give it significance in a variety of ways. However, for me, the message is the acceptance of everyone because we do not all have the same experiences and methods of living. We may also learn to be appreciative, forgive, and be prepared since the owner sometimes forgets what is truly in it. And if you show them what's inside your baggage and that you know the limits of each one, they could be dissatisfied or lose you in time.

This text altered my perspective on acceptance, perspective, and judging others. That some people truly do merely hide their genuine feelings, while others broadcast it to everyone, and so on. This text made me recognize the mistakes I've made in the past, the disappointment I've felt without knowing why he/she did it. So, for me, this passage encourages me to be more open-minded and cautious with my words.
