"Dito ba ako mas magiging mapagmahal?"

As simple as it sounds, this talk truly reinforced the reality that everything I do must be done out of love - whether this be in terms of making big decisions or simply in terms of treating others with respect. I felt grounded after listening to it, and feel the desire to do simple day-to-day actions with more loving intentions , instead of simply doing something to complete a task.

"Ang nakakatulong sa akin ay ang pagtingin sa mga maliliit na desisyon na nagawa ko na sa buhay hanggang puntong iyon."

Sab's story inspired me to believe that every decision we face serves as a sign of God's plan for us; no matter how seemingly small or mundane these may be. She allowed me to realize that we should never taken simple actions for granted, because the accumulation of these actions eventually allow us to discover our vocation and serve God in avenues that our bigger than ourselves.

On another note, I was inspired by her ability to see the challenges of "going beyond yourself" as avenues for growth - instead of merely hardships alone. This mindset shows how her experiences have shaped who she is today and allow her to continue living out her mission as a child of God.

One Desire that has been reignited in me is my desire to serve people. I chose my Psychology as my course so that I can be of service to others but hearing Sab's Ongkiko' story made my motivation to help others stronger. Seeing that you can of big help to the community by being a person for others is something i aspire to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Sabs' story helped me understand how privileged I am to be able to discern what I want to do with my life. She made me realise the privilege of being able to choose what I want my vocation to be in life. But despite this privilege, one thing that has stuck to me is to choose to love others no matter what I decide to do. The power of creating an impact out of the love you hope to send out to the people you encounter is why Sabs' story continues to inspire me.

# data[].attributes.body
What inspired me about Sabs Ongkiko’s story is her conscious decision to love others. After reading her story, I feel driven to make just as great an impact in others’ lives by finding my own path in life. The story is a great reminder for me to think beyond myself especially in a time where I have personally felt more disconnected and self-absorbed with my own troubles. Her story reawakens my desire to critically reflect on who I am as a person and how I want to live.

The desire to learn more about how I can apply what I learn from school or curiosity to help the people around me. I am currently taking up Data Science and Analytics which could help me further understand and make better decisions together for a better world and life.

# data[].attributes.body
The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspired to look back at the small things in life and think ahead for the bigger picture. Through these steps of looking back and thinking ahead, I am inspired to open myself to new opportunities that could align for me to answer the call of vocation from God and my happiness. Your purpose is where you are happy and serving others wherever it may be.

A desire that was reignited/emboldened in me is my lifelong desire to be of genuine loving service towards those in need of assistance. Her story assured me to some extent that all the "growing pains" which I am currently experiencing in the process of preparing for my future in service towards others would be well worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
Sab Ongkiko's story inspired me to not only follow what I feel and believe to be God's calling for me in my life, but to also do so with love and with other people in mind as well. I personally agreed with her statement that it is in the little yet loving decisions that we do every day that truly makes us who we are. Wanting to become a surgeon myself, I have always thought about and worried about the process of becoming one (worrying if I was even good enough to get through medical school, worrying about which school I would go to after college, etc). It is in these times where I remember and reflect upon the purpose for why I have decided to become a surgeon in the first place, which is to be of genuine service towards others.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like her story inspires me to become less self centered. Before I found that the spoils of my success should be mine alone, because it was my effort and struggle which achieved it. However, after hearing her story and message, I am now more inclined to use where ever I am currently in life to help those who need help.

A desire that was awakened in me was the desire to help others and be a person for others -- not only for myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Her story inspired me by teaching me how to follow my dreams and goals no matter what outside forces there are. That our decisions no matter if right or wrong, these always will be learnings that would mold us to be better.

# data[].attributes.body
Listening to the talk made me sit back and discern about what my next step would be after graduating college. I think that the desire for wanting and being more, especially when it means being my best self is what was awakened in me. This gave me the inspiration to move forward.

# data[].attributes.body
My desire to more closely look at my "small decisions" was awakened. From now, I hope to be more loving and giving in the small decisions that I make- as I realize that these add up and affect my big decisions

Her not regretting her decision to not pursue medicine was inspiring. As someone who always second guesses himself, I felt inspired knowing that as long as you choose the more loving option, you won't look back on your decision.

# data[].attributes.body
Sabs Ongkiko's story quite simply allowed me to reflect on my own approach to self and the people around me. I find most remarkable her point on how we mustn't merely understand our being a person, but the how in our being a person for and with others. I think especially with my disposition as a maturing adult, I have been quite too caught up with my own growth and struggles. I must not only find more hope outside and instill it inwards, but also the other way around.

# data[].attributes.body
Sabs Ongkiko inspired me to relish my motivation to help others in need even in the most difficult time. Although choosing what's good for me and the immediate persons is also a form of love, it is also apparent that there is a society hoping for just a loaf of bread. Nothing really beats the feeling that you are able to help a lot of people.

# data[].attributes.body
As someone who is still trying to find my vocation in life, the story of Sabs Ongkiko inspires me because it shows that choosing the most loving option may eventually lead to finding that vocation. Her conscious effort to continue to love and to choose love despite all the challenges of becoming a teacher showed me that in whatever path I choose, what is important is loving and serving others. Through this, we embody what it is to become a person for others.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that most of all, I desire to connect with others again. With this pandemic, I have lost human touch with others. I no longer couldnt socialize with my friends, and couldnt connect with people whom Ive never met. Looking back, it was an amazing experience for me to be living in a dorm, and going to school in the Ateneo campus. They say that you learn a part of yourself through how others see you, and I cant wait until the day I can go out again and meet with all these people.

# data[].attributes.body
What inspires me the most is how she made her big decision to pursue teaching was through reflecting on her past decisions in life. Normally, and I admit to be a part of this, when we think of our dreams, we try and imagine our future. We picture how we fit in that world, and whether or not we believe its worth pursuing. What I realized from Ms. Ongkiko was that we should also account for how the person we were in the past, has grown to become the person we are today in the present. Following from this, where do we see ourselves going to in the future?

# data[].attributes.body
Sab Ongkiko's story inspired me to pursue my career path carefully in order for me to choose the path that can best help people. As a game development major, I believe that games can create bonds and help form better relationships with people, especially during the pandemic. Through pursuing what I love, I want to help others create bonds and rekindle old ones that may have been lost due to the pandemic that is happening.

# data[].attributes.body
The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspires me to never be afraid of making decisions or overthinking too much about them. In order for me to know what is truly important, I just actually have to look at the smaller things around me and just look at the path I have taken to get where I am now. Although it shouldn't discourage us from trying out new things and taking these opportunities, reflecting upon ourselves and our passions will actually lead us to discover more about ourselves and it's sort of like our own vocation. I wish to find my passion as well and to folow my heart wherever it may take me.

# data[].attributes.body
After hearing her talk, my desire of being a person for others and helping my fellow Filipinos was reignited. Before the pandemic, I would often join outreach programs to help the less fortunate. However, because of these restrictions, I feel that I am being hindered from doing so. She made me realize that I need to use my God-given skills and talents to help my community. Before helping others, I first need to understand myself as a whole so I can truly be of service to them.

# data[].attributes.body
The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspired me because it helped me realize the importance of knowing what you want. Even though I am already a junior in college, I haven’t quite decided what I want to do once I finish. She helped me realize that it is important to take little steps to help me determine what I try want in life. It is a reminder that I need to address more than just what I want on a personal level but also take into consideration the needs of others.

# data[].attributes.body
After listening to Sabs Ongkiko's talk, the desire to be a person for others was reignited within me. As a student swamped with requirements and org work, I sometimes find myself too busy to think about other things. However, I realized that there might be no meaning in all this work if I don't have a purpose to work towards. Ms. Sabs Onkiko helped me remember that work is more meaningful if you have a purpose, especially when the purpose is to be of service to others. Ultimately, I was reignited to choose the more loving option in my work and my everyday decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
I deeply resonated with Sabs Ongkiko's story because I too am quite confused on which career path I should take. As a psychology major, I have multiple careers to choose from as it is a versatile course (e.g., human resources, medicine, etc.). However, after listening to her story, I realized that paying attention to our everyday decisions could aid me in discovering what I truly want to be. Moreover, like Ms. Sabs Ongkiko, I wish to engage in a meaningful career where I can be a more loving person.

# data[].attributes.body
The talk helped reignite my desire to serve people with the skills I have and skills I'm still developing. For the longest time, I have aligning my standards for an ideal job with what would give me the most financial compensation or most personal fulfillment and growth. But after hearing the story of Sabs Ongkiko, I realized that we ought not to live for ourselves. There is so much more to life than just money and pleasure. We live in a community with so many people who are in need of help in so many different aspects. With the talents we are blessed with and the jobs that we seek, I'm thankful that this talk reminded me of how God calls me to be a person for others in my own little ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what inspired me the most from Sab Ongkiko's story is how she desired to become a loving teacher. It was just a simple word addition and yet it drastically changed the meaning of the simple phrase. At this point in my life, I honestly still am unsure about what I wish to become in the future. In my mind, I constantly tell myself that I should just settle with becoming a doctor so I can earn a lot, even though I'm not fully interested in the career yet. But upon hearing Ms. Ongkiko's story, I suppose it added an extra layer to this already complex decision. Her sharing got myself to ask the question, "would I truly be happy with that job?" Would I enjoy what I do as a doctor? Would I become a loving doctor?

As of now, I don't have any concrete answers to these personal questions that were evoked by Ms. Ongkiko's sharing. However, I'm thankful that it has managed to open my eyes to the spirit of magis. I was reminded to look back at the whys in the things that I do. It made me reassess my priorities in life and helped reorient my worldview towards becoming more compassionate to those in need. Hopefully one day, like Sabs Ongkiko, I'll find the career that will truly make me happy and others happy as well. Hopefully, I'll finally be able to become the best and most loving version of myself through my chosen vocation.

# data[].attributes.body
The desire that was reignited in me is the desire to find my vocation and do my best in it for the benefit of others. Just like Sab, I am unsure if the course that I am taking right now is my vocation. It makes me realize that I have to keep trying new things, and see where my skills can meet the needs of the community. The desire in me is to keep looking for ways to serve the needs of the community, even in small, everyday decisions and actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Sab Ongkiko's story inspires me to be conscious even in the little things. These small decisions can actually contribute and lead to a bigger decision. Knowing this, it is then important to choose the more loving option not only when making big decisions, but also when making everyday choices. Sab Ongkiko also inspires me to choose wisely on what to become. As she said, she and her co-workers are teachers, but each of them choose what kind of teacher to become, and this distinction is seen in the way they interact with students. This makes me realize our attitudes towards a task or job can define not only ourselves but what we can do for others. If we pick the more loving option, we will be able to serve God and others. This selflessness means that our community can grow to become an even better happier society.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this story awakened my desire to serve other people in the best way that I can. I really appreciated her talk since it reignited my desire to become a doctor in the future. I was motivated to continue doing well not just in my academics, but also serving various sectors even in the most simplest ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Her story inspires me in the sense that she was able to remind me that our jobs do not truly define who we are, rather it is what we do in these said occupations that truly matters in our lives. This to me is very interesting since it reminds me to do things not necessarily for the "income" or the benefits that I may receive through my actions, but I must focus on the "outcome" or what my actions and acts of service can mean in the greater scheme of things.

# data[].attributes.body
Sab Ongkiko's story inspires me by making me think back on the small decisions I have made in the past and how I think decisions will eventually help me in the future when I make bigger decisions that will determine how my life will go.

I think her awakening and realization to be a teacher instead of a doctor is quite inspirational considering how these two professions both in completely different sectors in society; and with the common thinking that pursuing a medical profession will eventually make you have a much more comfortable life, she still chose being a teacher. I hope that I may have her courage one day to be selfless and possibly choose a profession that I will both be happy and satisfied with.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, Sab's story reignited my desire to serve others through acts of charity. Even though helping others is certainly not always an easy task, it is very rewarding knowing that through my own ways, I am making the world a better and more loving place to others.

# data[].attributes.body
Sab's story is a great example of living for others. Instead of becoming a doctor, a profession that is known to have high salaries, she chose to become a teacher and decided to serve others in the way in which she does best. She inspires me to live my life for the benefit of others and to become truly selfless.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I am still uncertain of the path or career I will choose, there is always this desire to be a person for others and a person  journeying with others. I know that I am not alone in this greater scheme of things. "Lahat tayo ay gumagawa ng paraan." And it is certainly a challenge to be a loving person, but it allows us to grow and learn how to become human.

# data[].attributes.body
It's inspiring how Sabs Ongkiko aligns her passions and purpose—to be a loving teacher.

I have yet to learn what I am passionate about and what I ought to be. Thus, I have to take the courage to step out of my comfort zone to learn more about things/activities, which will help me know more about myself and eventually help me grow. Her story also inspired me to consider the magnitude of decisions. Questions such as "What  have I done?", "What I am doing?" and "What I ought to do?" are crucial in knowing oneself, especially in who you ought to become.

# data[].attributes.body
My desire to do something that inspires and helps others was reignited. Whatever I choose to do at this point, I just want it to be something that has a positive impact on others.

Right now, I am currently undecided as to what career I should pursue after college. The fact I'm already a junior makes me even more nervous since I'm graduating already next year. With this said, regardless of whatever career I choose to pursue, Sabs Ongkiko's story inspires me to choose the career that will not only benefit me, but that which will allow me to grow as a person by helping others around me grow as well.

# data[].attributes.body
It made me reassess the decisions that I have made to reach where I am right now. From entering the university and shifting to another course, to the career plans and small choices such as leaving the org. It made me wonder where these decisions were me leading to–where am I, and God, leading myself into? It inspired me to look into my purpose instead of doing what everyone else is doing. Do my thing, stop comparing myself with others, and ultimately focus on my business and my purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
I was reminded of my desire to be of service to others and to live a life of love, whether it be in the career I decide to pursue, or in the relationships that I have and will form, or in my personal day-to-day choices. Hopefully, all of these would contribute to the good of everyone around me.

After hearing Sabs Ongkiko’s story, it made me think and look back at the small choices I have made in the past and it also made me think about why I am where I am right now. Her story has also pushed me to become more open-minded in the paths that I can take especially career-wise. It is commendable how she ultimately chose the more loving option and chose to serve the common good rather than merely looking for personal gain.

The desire that was reignited in me is my desire to help others by working harder to be able to do so in the future. There have been many times over the pandemic where I've forgotten my original purpose and why I chose the path that I did, but because of her story it has reignited that passion in me to continue.

# data[].attributes.body
Her story inspired me to continue to work hard in order to reach my goals in life. Similarly to her, I am taking my course as a pre-med because I hope to become a doctor one day, and the main reason I chose this career path was because I would be able to help and serve others. However, with this path, I am in constant struggle with dealing with my insecurities and with battling burnout, and so the part in her talk that inspired me the most was when she said that we must stretch ourselves and go out of our comfort zone. Dealing with these issues is quite normal and natural as part of my journey. It inspired me and reminded me of my purpose and what it must take for me to achieve my goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Sab's story made me think of the other factors that I should consider when deciding what kind of job I should pursue in the near future. I chose my course because I thought it was my best shot at becoming a successful businessman after graduating college. I didn't have any second thoughts in pursuing my course, nor did I have any other course in mind that piqued my interest. However, upon  taking very difficult majors subjects that barely sparked motivation in me and experiencing a series of hardships that I found quite unnecessary, I started to realize that shallow and foundationless desires don't last that long. In light of this, I think Sab's speech inspired me to to work towards an impactful goal that should give my life more meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
The desire that was awakened within me is to use my capabilities and offer the resources I have for the common good or the betterment of our society. When we choose to do what will encourage others, we get a sense of purpose in our lives, learn to be selfless, and understand that the world needs more people like Sabs Ongkiko.

# data[].attributes.body
Her story inspired me to pursue what I feel like I should do even if it wasn't the original plan. Sometimes we have a set goal for what we want to achieve or become so we work hard to get to that, but then during the process, we realize that that is not what is meant for us. This becomes disheartening after all the work that was put into it or we get confused as to what we should do next. No matter what we decide to do, we should pray and listen to our hearts and to God because if it is God's plan then it will definitely be worth it.

Sab Ongkiko's story had reignited my desire to be of service to other people. Since high school, I have always been a member of sector-based organizations that allowed me to immerse into the lives of the impoverished and so that I may be able to help them in their situation, in many ways as possible. It is in seeing the satisfied smiles of the people that I've helped that I feel a great sense of fulfillment within me. Hearing Sab talk about her own pursuits of being of service to others had reminded me of the advocacy that inspires me to keep going with my premed studies. Her words have reminded me to continue to study hard so that I may become the best medical professional that I can be.

I find the experiences of Sabs Ongkiko to be very inspiring as she had shown the importance of self-reflection and discernment when it comes to choosing a career path. I feel truly inspired about how sure she is about herself, and how she is able to look into even the minute details of her life and be able to make a very important decision based on these. As someone who is in his third year and is often wondering about  career paths, I've gained a much deeper respect for people who are very driven and determined to attain a specific and concrete goal. Hopefully, I will come to a point in my life that I will also have the same sense of clarity and sureness,  like what Sabs Ongkiko had when she had to make the final decision on her career.

# data[].attributes.body
My inner desire to choose a career path that truly resonated with my interests and beliefs was reignited, after watching Sabs Ongkiko's speech. In today's day and age, career paths are often determined by things such how much money can be earned, or wether our parent's would approve of it. Sometimes, people don't stop to think wether what they're doing actually interests them, or if it's something that would add more good to the world. I believe that the aforementioned factors are crucial in finding one's true calling or purpose in life.

The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspired me to look at the greater meaning of the career path I chose to pursue. As an ITE student, I began to ask myself how can I utilize what's been taught to me, to aid those in need.

Sabs Ongkiko's story is truly inspiring, especially with how she paid attention to her smaller choices and passions when choosing her path as a public school teacher over the more prosperous or successful career. This shed a light on discernment, on how the smaller choices we make when we are able to decide for ourselves show us our desires. The way she highlighted the importance of raising others up was something that struck me as well.

Sabs Ongkiko's story made me think about who I want to be in the future. I've realized that all this time, I've just been thinking about myself and how I will benefit from my personal successes. But now, I feel as though her story gave me the proper inspiration that I need to change my outlook on life and be a person for others.

# data[].attributes.body
Sabs shared about what she wanted to do and pursue in life—to choose the more loving option and become a person for others as a teacher—which only reignited my own passion for service. In a more encompassing aspect, listening to this talk bolstered my desire to be a more loving person, to respond to others with love.

# data[].attributes.body
This talk of Sabs' led to a personal reflection of what I believe I am innately called to do in my life. While she was determined to become a doctor, she failed to ponder on her own what it is in her life she has the most capacity for. And through her own self-realization, I feel compelled to deepen my understanding of my own capabilities and passions to dedicate these into a career that I would thrive in, in turn being able to serve others the best way I can.

# data[].attributes.body
Her story was truly inspiring and heartwarming. She was able to reignite the fire in my heart to always choose the more loving option. As a future physician, I will always remind myself to use my knowledge and skills to help those who are in need, especially to those who are unheard.

Sabs Ongkiko showed me that taking an alternative path to the course I chose in college could open doors to great opportunities and experiences as well. I never knew what degree I truly wanted to pursue in college but similar to the speaker, it took me to connect the dots looking back to find the direction I want to take for my future. Sabs Ongkiko's speech reignited my desire to turn my passion into a career.

# data[].attributes.body
Towards the end of Sabs Ongkiko's talk, she encourages the audience to go beyond their comfort zones despite the difficulties and discomfort it will entail. Just as she chose to not only become a teacher but a loving one, I aspire to carry the same mindset as I take on responsibilities in my career one day. Not only will I benefit from the growth, but having a Magis outlook will also enable me to serve a greater purpose whether it be bringing positive change/s to the industry I'll choose to enter or impacting the lives of others.

Upon hearing her story, the desire that was reignited in me was to pursue the path I initially wanted for myself. Despite having to change the course in which my life was headed. Similar to Sab's decision to pursue teaching after devoting her college career to a pre-med course.

# data[].attributes.body
I found Sab Ongkiko's story particularly interesting as finding her life's purpose did not happen drastically, rather multiple instances led her to her decision to teach. I found this comforting as I often struggle to decide what I would like to devote my life to, whether it be a career choice, or choosing a college course. Thus, her story inspired me to perceive the collective choices I have made thus far as a guiding hand towards what I will be doing for the rest of my life. The decision doesn't have to be made in a single instance but over time as I learn what I would be best suited for.

# data[].attributes.body
The desire to leave a positive impact was reignited in me when watching the inspiring talk. I've always wanted to help uplift everyone around me, but I've sort of lost my own way and prioritized shallow things such as money. I now know that I need to evaluate my reasons and actions in order for me to live my life with purpose and fulfillment. I currently am still unsure of what I what exactly I want to do but I hope for it to be in the same path as helping Filipinos get what they deserve, much better than the current context suggests.

# data[].attributes.body
Sab Ongkiko's story was one full of hope and initiative. I was deeply inspired at how she takes the time to reflect and know how best she can help those around her, something I barely see around me. In our society that values wealth and rank, Sab Ongkiko reminds us to go beyond our worldy aspirations and look deep down to what we care for the most, and do everything in our power to help. I was inspired to do the same, reflect on who I am, what I can do, and what I want to be.

Well, this story was able to reignite my passion in law, I have always wanted to become a lawyer ever since I was a little kid because I believed that I could create a meaningful impact in the world by doing this. I was diverted for awhile, and now I am persuing something entirerly different. This story made me realize, that there are other ways to impact people's lives and everyone has the ability to play a big part in helping others.

The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspired me, as it showed me that there is nothing wrong in chasing your dreams, even if it may take u on a new path then what you are currently own you have to take the opportunity whole-heartedly and always keep your well-being and the well being of others in mind. This will help you acheive spirtual and mental growth

The desire to be a person of others. I think her choice to be a loving person really shows that no matter what career or path you walk in life there is always room for others and that we should never disregard other people.

She inspires me to look beyond where I am now. As a 4th year in physics sometimes I feel trapped not saying that I hate my course but sometimes I feel like doing physics is something that I am going to be doing for the rest of my life but watching her video I am reminded that I am still young even though I might graduate in physics I can still venture out of that and try new things and learn new things about the world and about myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Her story inspires me to reflect more on who I am and I want to be. It's amazing how she was walking the path she wanted and she didn't even know it. Her small choices made her who she is and wanted to be. It's daunting discerning what path one has to take but it's exciting for the past holds some truth we sometimes don't notice, the present holds some power to shape a story that continues to be written, and the future holds some hope to who we can be. I hope my journey has, can, and will lead me someplace I am proud and happy to be in where I have loved everything and everyone that becomes part of my journey just like her.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching Sab Ongkiko's talk, the desire it reignited in me was to be a service to others especially if we are able to reach our goal. Usually, our own goals and desires blinds us from helping others due to the reason that we want to attain what we desire by any means. However, this should not be the case since we are already blessed to be in a better opportunity or situation than others. We should be able to give back to others whenever we are able to.

# data[].attributes.body
Sabs Ongkiko truly discerned where her vocation should lie. That vocation is not only a call for yourself, but a call for us to be more human and serve others if we can. She followed her compassions and shared her talents selflessly and became a beacon for others to start doing the same, so hat eventually the system does too. She works for something bigger, like her decisions, and in journeying with the people she helps with, she continually does her best to make little decisions that align with the bigger decision.  It helped me to see that there are things in life I can devote my talents to, but that first I should mold myself into a person who can help others best and discern my personal vocation more.

# data[].attributes.body
Though I am unsure of what field I want to pursue after, I was always sure that I wanted to help a community once I open up a business. Sabs Ongkiko encouraged me to keep holding on to that dream and to always put it into heart as it reignited my passion to serve.

# data[].attributes.body
This awoke in me the desire to be more self aware. I need to check my privilege and find out what is the "more loving option" in my context. I hope to be able to utilize this reflection to dig deeper into myself and figure out what I can do to be more.

Sabs Ongkiko's story inspired me to look deeper within myself to understand what I can do and to use it lovingly. As I am getting closer to graduating, people have more frequently been asking me what I want to do after and I would always answer that I am not sure yet. Sabs Ongkiko pushes me to keep trying to understand myself as it is through reflection that I would be able to find what I want to do. Her story is something I will always remember now that I am choosing my next steps because it reminds and grounds me to choose the option that is more loving.

Her story inspires me to go beyond myself. Right now, I've been focusing a lot on my personal growth and development through focusing on my acads and extracurricular work. However, Sabs Ongkiko's story makes me want to be better not only for myself, but also so that I can contribute to the greater good. As of now, I'm still trying to determine what I can do for others which is why my current vocation is to find my greatest passion and to connect that with my personal advocacy.

From Sabs' talk, what reignited in me is my desire to being a person for others and helping out the community. Especially in our current situation, it is very important to helping the community rebuild and being their for others during the rough times that we are going through.

Sabs Ongkiko's story made me realize the importance of taking a step back and understanding all the small decisions she had in the past helped her in pursuing her desire to teach others. It inspires me to reflect more and realize what I really want to accomplish in the future and how I could help and serve others.

Sabs's words reignited my desire to be part of our country's education system. Her story reminded me of why I chose to take the Minor in Education program. My desire to take part in the positive change for our country was awakened. I was reminded of my hopes and aspirations for the future's youth—I am doing my best in school for them to experience education, not as a privilege but a right that they are entitled to.

The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspires me to live by the Ignatian core value "magis," to always choose the more loving option. She encouraged me to do what my heart wants not only for myself but also for my kapwa. This reminds me of the value of compassion for others.

In addition, I really love what Sabs said about choosing one's profession or career. Kung pinili mo man to, pinilit ka, o napilitan ka lamang, ikaw pa rin and magdidikta o magpapasya kung paano mo gagampanan ang 'yong trabaho. Even if you did not freely chose your job, you can still do your best in it. You can still do your best for yourself, your family, the people you love, and your kapwa.

I found the desire to build meaningful relationships with others in pursuit of an encouraging environment wherein I can grow with other people. I think it is natural for us as human beings to learn from our experiences — but to do this alone would not be as fulfilling as developing and learning from our connections with others. If we form a bond even with just the small communities around us, then we can strive for a meaningful growth experience alongside other individuals who aim to grow as well.

Sabs Ongkiko’s story inspired me to not give up on my dreams and work harder towards my career. As a college student, I aim to develop my skills to equip myself for the professional world. Additionally, she talks about how she aims to use her career as a teacher to be more loving towards her students. In this sense, her story also inspired me to build fulfilling relationships with others wherein I grow as a person as I aim to lift them up as well. I think if I surround myself with encouraging individuals, it would create a healthy environment both for me and for other people to continuously grow and develop.

The desire to really follow my heart and follow what I really want to do. But most of all, the desire to put others at the forefront of all of my decisions and when acting to help others, to do it with love, kindness, and compassion. I think it's easy for anyone to help but it's a whole different thing to help with a kind heart, and this helped me to remember that.

# data[].attributes.body
Her story inspires me in the sense that she really followed her heart in doing what she wanted, even though society and most of the world had other expectations for her. I appreciate how she stuck to her morals, and even if either way she would be helping others through whichever decision she had, I appreciate how she was honest with herself and choosing to be what she was truly passionate in.

A drive to explore deeper into my hobbies, decisions, and interests has arisen in me. I discovered that I rarely take the time to sit down and consider what areas of my life provide me the greatest joy. Every day, I feel like we are constantly bombarded with so much useless information and tasks that we have to do just to get them out of the way that we forget to value time and our sentiments. As a result, I feel we harm the process of discovering our calling, which is often manifested in the seemingly insignificant things we do for ourselves and others.

Sabs Ongkiko’s story reminded me that there is nothing to lose in taking the leap towards the decision that you know would best serve you and the people around you. Her story inspired me to be comfortable in the middle of uncertainty. She entered college with the intention of pursuing a career in medicine but instead chose to become a teacher, and she is content to be living a life of service, which she never realized was already second nature to her based on small life decisions. This really inspired me to be more open to possibilities that might serve me better even in the face of uncertainty.

Hearing Sabs Ongkiko's story, I was given a chance to look back on why I am where I am right now. Ever since I've been old enough to know what I really wanted to do with my life, I knew it really had something to do with healthcare because it was something I was passionate about. To the point that I still decided to shift into BS BIO after a year of getting admitted into BS ComTech because I thought that I probably should give up on that dream given the financial situation of my family, and that we won't be able to afford going through with it. However, I knew that science and healthcare was something that I absolutely loved learning, and the longing didn't really go away after my 1-year stay in a different course. So with the support of my mother, I shifted into BS BIO, and I felt more alive than I ever felt in college. But perhaps... I gave too much of myself that I wasn't able to look back and think if this was the person that I would love to be in the future, if this was the person that would be able to give to her family, friends, and society. I lost myself into the heavy number of units, the overloading, the numerous orgs, that I started to dislike myself and my situation. I felt too tired and burnt out, causing me to think twice if this is what I actually wanted after all. However, upon hearing Sabs Ongkiko's story, I realized that at the end of the day, this really is where my passion to give wholeheartedly lies. All the advocacies I've fought for in my organizations have aligned to the sector I really wanted to help in now, and maybe even until the near future. The actualization of my capacity to give wholeheartedly is accomplished in the sense that I'm determined to do something or to do more to the people who are in need of medical information or assistance, and this is how I show love and care for the people in my community.

Sabs Ongkiko made me realize that I should never lie to myself — to just be honest with myself — and awakened in me the courage to pursue what I really desire in life, no matter how scary or uncertain the future it entails might be.

# data[].attributes.body
What really inspired me was Sabs Ongkiko staying true to herself and I aspire to be like her one day, especially when it matters the most. As she mentioned, some people wondered why she suddenly pursued becoming a teacher when she was studying to be a doctor. As someone who is quite terrified with sudden changes in my life especially when they concern significant decisions I choose for myself, I applaud and look up to her because in my book, that takes a lot guts (for the lack of a better term).

# data[].attributes.body
It inspired me because her story reminded me of how important it is to have someone to look up to. There are a lot of difficult situations to make in life especially now that we are close to graduating and its important to talk to people about it or consult. For me, its my parents especially since I want to follow in their footsteps

I used to be from Legal Management but I shifted to Restaurant Entrepreneurship. Funnily enough, I also took into consideration the little things that I loved doing as a kid. From watching Masterchef, cooking, and copying lines from Disney's Ratatouille, these played minor roles in helping me decide to finally shift. However, because of the pandemic, I've kind of lost my spark because there are times when I feel hopeless after I graduate given the situation that the hospitality industry is in. I guess it's a matter of looking onto the bright side because there will come a time when God will guide me through the times that I may encounter hardships. I guess it's about finding that spark again.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe one thing that inspired me in her story was how she was able to look back at her previous accomplishments. Most if not all the time, I feel miserable and frustrated whenever I encounter failures. Maybe looking back at my previous experiences and accomplishments might remind on how I've made it this far. We can't just choose to forget our past because there are times when our past can define us and shape us to the person God wants us to become.

The desire to help my fellow people was awakened

Her story inspires me by making me realize that what I want to become may not necessarily be what is truly good for myself and for the society. Her story inspires me to really think about the vocation that I should take so that I can make the right decisions for my future. That way, I would be able to contribute to society

What reignited in me was that desire to give and share what I can through acts of labor which are powered by love. I am nearing my final years of education, and I am happy to have Teachers Sabs reminding me that I can do something for and with others using what I am most skilled and passionate about.

# data[].attributes.body
I have heard of Teacher Sabs's story before, especially touching to me because I live near where she teaches, but her story still inspires me a lot. Particularly, I like how she points out that in our small and big decisions, we can lift each other up. I too hope that I can serve for and with others, and her wise words about this really helped me in my continuing discernment about my mission and vocation in life.

This story is very much relatable to me because now that I'm a senior and only months away from graduating, there is that big decision of what I want to do after college. The thing is, I have no idea. I know it would be somewhere in the business or marketing area since it's what I'm studying right now, but with my many interests and desire to find something that will truly make me feel happy or fulfilled, it's hard to think about my future. It's very stressful. But Sabs' point on how all her small decisions led to making her big decision was very eye opening to me. I've never thought to look to my smaller choices as inspiration for bigger things and I just hope it is able to help me in some way, the same way it worked so well for her.

The talk gave a good reflection of where I m right now. I believe I will finish my STEM degree but I also feel like I will always have that inclination to teach others. I always felt like teaching and helping others develop fully would also enable me to enrich my life with meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
The story of Sabs enabled me to reflect on my journey so far. I was mostly confused or uncertain of what I want to become for most of my high school and college life. But by staying true to myself, I was able to see that the small and insignificant choices I have made and how these things, without me knowing at the time, contributed to the person I am today and what I want to become. Her story gave me reassurance that we will transform to the person we want to become as long as we keep pursuing it and keep staying true to what we desire.

It invigorated a spark to create things for the betterment of others. As a young college student managing a business, it reminded me the importance of having a brand existing as an outlet to fulfill the happiness of others first before myself; to put financial gain at the backseat and focus on how I can make others feel better.
