I am a kind of person who really strives in everything that I do and who's willing to humble myself to others for me to gain more learnings from my mentors and peers. One thing that I like about myself is that I am always open for more learning, may it be through the critisms from others, from my own mistakes and triumphs or from awesome stories of amazing persons. I believe that there is still a huge room for improvement for everyone if we are all willing to learn new things and develop our potentials that we have.

The talks earlier were very empowering and inspiring, and I really felt how powerful their impact. In academics, I will continue to dedicate myself and persevere in my education, as I focus on my purpose, passion, and the profession I aspire, as well for God, for my family, and for the lives of the people I may save one day as a doctor. For leadership, I will continue to empower others and inspire them to be leaders themselves, to participate and volunteer. I will utilize this leadership to create a positive impact to the society and to the lives of the people around me.

Embracing it and all of its colors, also dig into it and understand it. I will try to do more and be more as a daughter, and person as part and parcel of the community where I live. I am human and I am very willing to adapt and accept change.

Today's speakers shared stories that resonated with me in personal levels. It reminded me of how important the responsibility that I have is, whether in academics or leadership aspects. The action I'll take to further my direction is to evaluate myself and remind myself of my goals. I'll continue to work hard for what I advocate for and improve myself to be better. There is always room for my potential to grow, so I'll continue to water and nurture it.

I believe that the actions that I will take to enhance or further direct both my academic and leadership potentials is that I need to have a positive attitude and by putting myself beyond my own capabilities. I will utilize what I have learned from the talks. I should know my purpose and have a passion with a heart when I do the things that I love and to serve my community genuinely. We should always soar high and influence others as well to be leaders. Be You and Believe that we can be more from ourselves.

During the talks,  I really felt inspired and empowered not just as a student and a leader but, as well as a person having a purpose in this world. And having heard the experiences of each speaker, I realized that we all have our own stories to tell as well and to share to each and everyone. And that we all are great in our own ways. Just keep believing, keep fighting and just be yourself.

When it comes to my academic potentials, I am willing to give more time and effort when it comes to studying. I will not put too much pressure although I will still strive for maximized learning. I am also willing to act on my academics in a literal sense wherein what I learn will be placed into actions when making rational and good decisions in my life. When it comes to leadership, I am willing to leave my comfort zones to help communities who are in need. I am willing to consistently release my efforts to create a sustainable and healthy community. In the process of doing these actions, I nurture my potential in both concepts.

This night is full of comprehensive and inspiring discussions. One thing that really engraved in me is that we are a leaders and characters of our own story. We may have a lot of differences but we share one thing in common and that is our purpose. We wake up for our loved ones, for the people who believed in us and for the community. We always take a leap higher than who we are in the past and that alone is satisfying. Imagine for more years to come who will you become? As long as you continue and strive anything is possible.

The sets of talks today made me ponder the question, "How do I help myself become a better individual?"

The main takeaway I got from today was about staying true to myself. What my goals are and what I stand to believe in. By being who I am no one can be like me, I become unique and special. While in that sense, I also get to ingratiate others to do the same as well.

Before I go to sleep tonight, tucked in my pajamas, I'd ask myself, "How do I help myself become a better individual?"

We must always stick to our core, why we wake up in the morning, what is our purpose and what do we plan to achieve in life. If we could answer this question you will definitely live a life with purpose and with direction.

I'll try to do more on self-introspection, to assess where I could give more to my community with my attainments in academics and leadership. It is always my mantra that everything we have said and done, everybody will forget it but they will never forget HOW WE MADE THEM FEEL, and THAT'S OUR IMPACT 😍

In order for me to further boost my potential as a student and a leader is that I will first know my purpose or know who am I doing all of these things. And also setting my self as an example to other will not only boost my self but also boosting other people confidence and determination as well.

Potentials are maximized with opportunities presented. Just like today's discussion, there is still a lot to be pondered upon. However, through the guidance, motivation, and support brought by family, friends, and fellow youth leaders, the sky's the limit. Let's all be a Yes Man :)
