(2122 1st Sem OCM) How does the story of Sabs Ongkiko inspire you? What desire was awakened or reignited in you? by Office of Campus Ministry [LS] https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires Our Personal Desires and the Needs of the Community en-us 2021-09-07 09:52:45 UTC 2022-01-05 01:41:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Antwa Constantino louieconstantino https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741348947 I personally felt that the story of Sabs Ongkiko inspires me to really go where there is a need for me in this world. Her story reminded me of the years I spent in a public school as a student from Grades 7-10 and mingling with more public school students across my home province. There are many, many holes and errors in the way a lot of systems are run in the public school system and it was there I understood the value of proper education and care for the students. ]]> 2021-09-15 02:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741348947 Antwa Constantino louieconstantino https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741349799 Ms. Ongkiko reminded me so much of the idealistic person in me. I wanted to do the same, provide a service back to the community after seeing firsthand how difficult it is without the help, generosity and care of others. Having received a relatively better educational setup as a science high school student, I was fortunate enough to have the resources and the capacity to fend for myself, stand for what is right in that school, and really push for better systems. That is what I was able to contribute then. That's where the world needed me then. Now, as someone who was awakened by the social involvement in that school and in the Ateneo from Senior high onwards, I can say that I find myself wanting to intersect with the world in where I can help bring justice to all our fellow citizens. But it also reminds me to also serve the underprivileged in an educational sense: to help them reach the same opportunities I had. That desire to be for the people was once more reawakened in me today, and I feel that I am on that path through my course and my future choices.]]> 2021-09-15 02:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741349799 Paula Muriel https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741392164 Ms. Sabs' story inspired me to break away from the fear of going out of my comfort zone. Oftentimes, when we are used to our daily routine, we do not want to do something unfamiliar or daunting to us. However, we have to realize that we were not living this life to serve only ourselves. In Galatians 5:13-18, God calls on us to fulfill His command of loving our neighbors as ourselves. In everything that we do and in every choice that we make, we have to think of our brothers and sisters as well, most especially those who need the most help. ]]> 2021-09-15 02:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741392164 Paula Muriel https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741393095 The desire to be of service to others was reignited. In this time of uncertainty, it is easy to only think of how I (and the people closest to me) can survive both physically and mentally. However, there are so much more people who need assistance and those who have more privilege need to realize their duty to reach out to these individuals so that all of us may rise above the many challenges of life. ]]> 2021-09-15 02:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1741393095 Jomar Talampas https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1742270423 She really inspired me to choose the vocation where I can serve best or where I can contribute to the community the most. It reminded me that the profession or the title is not what is important but rather, it is what you do and the impact of your vocation. It inspired me to choose a vocation for a nobler cause rather than just for personal gains. This reminded me of our lesson in theology wherein, as children of God, we should do what is more loving for God, for our neighbors, and for ourselves.]]> 2021-09-15 10:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1742270423 Kurt Ong https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1742278308 I think that as of the moment I feel all the more inspired to really trying to pursue a career in relation to counseling inspire of my current course. I still want to go through the process of going through a masters so that I may be certified and be able to help others with their problems since I have really found a passion for listening to other people's problems. But at the same time I realize that just because my occupation may end up being different from what I was hoping for, this does not mean that I cannot still love and care for others wherever I am. I do not need to be a counselor to be a friend and listen to other peoples problems. So I guess irregardless of what my work will be like after College, I hope to be able to show love and care to those around me.]]> 2021-09-15 10:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1742278308 Jomar Talampas https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1742305344 To be honest, her story is very similar to my story since I am also a biology major planning to take medicine but I am confused if I will pursue a teaching career. It awakened my desire to be in service for the youth again and to encourage them to dream through education. I believe that teaching is also a manifestation of the passion for service where a lot of people will be touched and it also molds the future of everyone.]]> 2021-09-15 10:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1742305344 Renee Pimentel https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1743289907 Sabs Ongkiko chose a vocation where she felt was best for her and used it to serve others. She went the extra mile by being great at what she does. What truly inspired me was her line that says,” Gamitin mo ang iyong talino at talento upsang i-angat ang ibang tao.” It inspired me because she devoted her life to a career that will benefit not only her but also the community around her as well. In doing so, she is able to touch other people’s lives and even inspire a lot of people too. As a college student, my future may seem so uncertain yet, from Sabs’ talk, I learned that we should also consider how we can give back to the community through service.]]> 2021-09-15 16:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1743289907 Renee J. Pimentel https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1743305577 The desire to give back to the community. This pandemic has brought so much uncertainty in my life and others that I sometimes forget that a lot of people are suffering greater challenges than I. It’s easy to magnify our own inconveniences whilst looking away to the chaos around me. From Sabs’ talk, I realized that we should not only look at our own troubles but also to the troubles of our fellow brothers and sisters and do our best to help them.]]> 2021-09-15 16:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1743305577 Kya Mercader kylamercader https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744018961 Ms. Ongkiko inspired me to keep sharing all the love I have within me to the things I do and the people around me, no matter what. Doing so also enables me to keep embodying my calling with the utmost effort since everything done in and with love is undeniably more than enough. Another reason why her vocation sparked mine is that I have been working on my mantra and motive to spread nothing but all love. It can be difficult since it all comes down on how you choose to respond to people and situations. At the end of the day, all things are done by, in, and with love comes no regrets. ]]> 2021-09-15 21:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744018961 Kya Mercader kylamercader https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744038478 It awakened my desire to keep being and doing good by all means. Though, of course, boundaries should still be established and maintained. Ms. Ongkiko's story reignited my passion to serve others, including myself. She also reminded me one of my deepest desires which is maintaining a balance in distinct aspects in my life. Hence, her story served as a reality check, for me to stay grounded in myself, desires, and surroundings.]]> 2021-09-15 21:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744038478 Angelica De Leon https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744552410 I was inspired by Ms. Sabs Ongkiko's courage. She gave up the opportunity to study medicine and become a doctor, which to other people may seem as a "brighter" future as compared to being a public school teacher. I'm pretty sure that some people have told her that she is "sayang" or that her decision was wrong, but she did not let that hinder her from pursuing what her heart truly desires which is to help people through education more than anything else. Personally, I don't think everyone is able to have the courage to do that.]]> 2021-09-16 02:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744552410 Angelica M. De Leon https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744593938 Ms. Sabs Ongkiko's talk strengthened my desire to enter the teaching profession in the future. I really saw how she felt so fulfilled in her profession and found myself also having that same desire to help in educating people and also feeling the same sense of fulfillment when I do so. I've always thought of being a teacher at one point in my life no matter what profession I end up getting into, and this video made that desire stronger. To add, her statement, "Kapag nakakaangat ka na, gamitin mo ang talino at talento mo para iangat ang iba," has been really striking and inspiring for me.]]> 2021-09-16 02:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744593938 Kiana Altoveros https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744686724 Ma'am Sabs Ongkiko's story encouraged me to reflect on my past small decisions in life and connect it to some of the bigger decisions I've made, especially with regard to my chosen school, course, and organizations which have definitely shaped my personal identity. Tracing back, it is interesting to view how life has panned out given the choices I made over other choices, or the opportunities that I pursued over the opportunities that I did not take. What was truly moving in Ma'am Ongkiko's story is that she had the courage to pick the least obvious (given her external circumstances) but the most loving choice. Now, I truly hope I can do the same.]]> 2021-09-16 03:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1744686724 Corinne Limsin https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745043767 Ms. Sabs mentioned how her small decisions helped her make a bigger decision. With this, I was led to see a new perspective where each choice I make, whether small or big, could lead to something greater. A friend once told me that growth is in the uncomfortable. This involves going out of my comfort zones to ultimately find what I am passionate about. Especially now, I recognize how important it is to love what we do, to choose the more loving option. It opened my eyes to see the possibilities for a different approach as to how I make decisions.]]> 2021-09-16 06:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745043767 Joanne Sy joannesy https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745091789 Ms. Ongkiko's story has inspired me to reflect on myself and my current goals. I am encouraged to look back on my decisions and align my goals/ gifts with the needs of the community. With this, I hope to make the same selfless decision that Ms. Ongkiko made, and that is to help others with the talents/ gifts that God has given me. Furthermore, I am inspired to always choose the more loving option with every choice I make in life - whether it be my vocation or simple everyday actions.]]> 2021-09-16 06:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745091789 Joanne Sy joannesy https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745127258 In reading John 6:1-15 and Ms. Ongkiko's story, I am reminded of the many different talent and gifts that God has given us to serve Him and others. Even if that talent seems small for others (like the little boy's seemingly insufficient bread and fish), we can still use it to help a lot of people in our own ways. Thus, my desire to give back and help my community was reignited in me. As I reflect on my skills and talents, I hope to find a way to uplift and grow alongside others. I hope to be like the young boy who serves multiples of people - to be a "person for others". ]]> 2021-09-16 06:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745127258 Angela Favis https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745469491 Although not as big of a decision as hers deciding to pursue being a teacher even after taking a course preparing her for med school, I too once switched lanes. Ever since I was a kid I was so used to saying that I want to be an accountant when I grow up, only to take a course on economics many years later simply because I thought that this would benefit a lot more people than myself, and that my teacher in economics back in high school was awesome. Ongkiko's story actually consoled me, made me realize that there is no one straight and correct path to achieving a sense of fulfillment, and inspired me to be a lot more confident in the path I chose to take and am taking right now. ]]> 2021-09-16 09:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745469491 Angela Favis https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745491877 Now that I'm on my third year as an economics major, I sometimes end up worrying that I won't be a "proper" economist at all and that all these years of taking economics would be for naught because of my incompetence.  I worry that I won't be of any help at all, and that I'll just end up working for myself. However, what Ongkiko said about being able to choose to be a loving teacher and her working her way towards being that kind of teacher through each small decision that she makes reminded me that I'm still in control of the "kind" of economist that I will be in the future. It reminded me of what I am doing right now - studying and working hard to be an economist that can actually contribute something. Through Ongkiko's words, I was reminded that as long as I take the time to decide properly on even the smallest of things and learn to discern which actions would help me be the person that I want to become, I too can be of help to  other people, and that I too can be as awesome as the economists that I have met and talked to. ]]> 2021-09-16 09:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1745491877 Wendell Ong https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746119575 Sabs Ongkiko's story inspired me to make the best out of what I'm doing, whether it be the big or small things. I realized that I must take the necessary steps as well to help myself know what I want to be in the future, all the while choosing the path where I will be able to show my love for others and use my strengths for the benefit of others.]]> 2021-09-16 14:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746119575 Wendell Ong https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746141367 My desire to explore and try out newer things, especially things and opportunities that will help me discover more about myself and what I want to be in the future.]]> 2021-09-16 14:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746141367 Audrey Lim audreylim1 https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746350780 As I watched and listened to Sab's story, I questioned myself if the path I am taking now is the one I want, the one that will help me become a full human being for myself, and for others. I have always wanted to enter the business field, but after watching the video, she definitely inspired me to think deeper about the choices I make whether or not I was forced into the situation or not. I still have the choice to choose which path I am going to take, a path that is going to make me fully me, a person I can be for others, and God. I can no longer just sit idle by and let life continue, but take the steps to move forward, on the way to where I can fully achieve my life's purpose.]]> 2021-09-16 15:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746350780 Reverie Valarao https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746585720 The desire to keep fighting. Honestly, due to how glum the future seems to hold for us now as we brace what feels like our hundredth lockdown, I've slowly become more and more dispirited in each passing day. Ms. Ongkiko describes to us the process of pain, but emphasizes the continuous growth that comes along with it. I hope to keep fighting for myself, for others.

Ms. Ongkiko mentions how our paths should be an intersect of our personal desire, the needs of the community, and the most loving option for us to be able to give back to our community. We must always remain grounded in our pursuit for growth and compliment this with the heart to help better the conditions of our fellowmen.]]> 2021-09-16 17:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746599222 Edgar Patrick Samson https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1746814805 Back when I came into the Ateneo, I wasn't really familiar with the culture. I simply tried to lived as I did just like in High School. I was just trying to survive, get good grades, and maybe have fun on the side. However, throughout my (limited) stay on campus, I have come to see the spirit of Magis and how it's embodied in the community. It's becoming more and doing more FOR others. It's not self-centered self-gratification but an actual and genuine care for others. It honestly reminded me of why I remained and served in my current org. We help a lot of students in everyday. We chose this job and remain willing to be of service to the LS Community as a whole.

Vocation not in the sense of a more profitable occupation, but vocation in a sense that she found her happiness in helping the youth through education. Her decision to choose the more loving option inspires me to do the same. Although it is easy to say, I know that choosing the more loving option has always been difficult; but Sabs showed how these difficulties are not reasons to stop. In fact, these are all the more reasons to become better. She inspires me to find where my vocation is, where the world needs me the most, and where I find happiness in addressing those needs. She inspires me to choose to live that vocation by overcoming the little challenges that come before getting there and when you are already there. ]]> 2021-09-17 00:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747306486 Vikay Macandog https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747308149 Sab Ongkiko ignited this desire in me to also pursue the path I find my most meaning in. I may not be able to tell where and what it is as of now, but I am motivated to look into what I am deeply passionate about and where I am most needed in. I desire to make meaning out of the gifts I have been granted upon by helping others find theirs. ]]> 2021-09-17 00:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747308149 Ino Samson https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747405575 Ms. Ongkiko inspired me to believe that being in the Ateneo and studying in my course is a big responsibility. As we are all privileged with education, we must then give back to community. In order to achieve this however, I must study harder in order to expand my knowledge and capabilities. I know that many students in the Ateneo are experiencing burnout due to their course or the quarantine. Ms. Ongkiko's story, however, reminds us of the goals we set before we started our college journey, as well as those that we made along the way.]]> 2021-09-17 01:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747405575 Ino Samson https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747410849 I now desire to help others with the skills that I have currently, and those that I will continue to develop.

It makes me think about how I can wholeheartedly contribute to this community. It’s important to think about all possible options and to put myself out into the world with an open mind and heart, it is by doing that, that will help me find what my passion is. Furthermore, using my talents and passions to help others in whatever way I can.

Lately, it's been so hard to align my small choices in life because of the pandemic. I feel like I was enclosed in this bubble where my end goal was only to finish my modules and get good grades, but Ms. Ongkiko reminded me of the bigger picture. It's always been my goal to serve my community using my skills and talents. Hopefully, I'll be able to do this with my future profession just like her.]]> 2021-09-17 02:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747558857 Angelica Gabatino https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1747568366 I'm actually facing the same dilemma as Ms. Ongkiko. Though I'm still in my third year, I'm also contemplating if I should continue to medicine later on or in the academe. Her story inspired me to reflect on my small choices because maybe I can also find the answer to my vocation in them. But more importantly, I feel like I was motivated to gain more knowledge, wisdom, and love so that I can share it with others someday.

We both love empowering education and serving the kids, so I feel more motivated to become more active in my sector-based org that has the same advocacy, even though it is not face-to-face.

Her story made me reconsider why I was learning and trying my best to look for a job or internship. I realized that there is much more for me to consider rather than just money and that to chose the loving option is to choose more people than those who are close to me. I usually make decisions that I think will benefit me or the people close to me but I am not inspired to think about how my decisions can help even more people outside my social circle.]]> 2021-09-17 06:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748015142 Wesley Co https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748018312 The desire that was awakened in me is the desire to look at things from a new perspective and start thinking of decisions that can help more people. I still want to enter into the business industry but I think now I can make better and a more loving decision that can benefit a greater number of people.]]> 2021-09-17 06:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748018312 Selda Cervillon https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748079907 What Ms. Ongkiko have said, it gave me this notion: "I'm in the right track". When she explained how the small decisions, even if they're as tiny as a spec, it does affect our overall being. During the pandemic, we also receive monthly ayudas, they're given in boxes where the contents would be kilos of rice, canned goods, and even powdered coffee but my family...we're just 3 people in the house, we can't even finish 1 month's worth of grocery. What I did was, I gather the canned goods, for every corn beef I pair it with sardines as for the fairness along with 1-2 kilograms of rice. 

You know the people that live on the streets, where they would beg for spare change from drivers? Instead of giving them money, I just give them the ayudas that I packed, I do it every time I travel. 

I notice that I've been giving a lot towards people, especially the ones who are PWD, specifically the mute and or deaf. I would always buy food /drinks from establishments that promote or have staff that are mute/deaf. My first time encountering one was when I bought a rolled up ice cream from elait, the problem was I didn't know the lady at the counter was deaf until I noticed that she writes everything she want to say on a whiteboard. It was a new experience along with (kind of) being a new 'culture' for me. After I received my order, the food was really good, that a thought suddenly popped...

Are there mute/deaf chefs?]]> 2021-09-17 07:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748079907 Selda Cervillon https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748100914 I never did like the concept of having a family business or be the one to start it because I know it's heavy work along, I don't want to handle a business because I want to be a chef that perfects their skill by traveling into new cultures, experience street foods of different country, along with practicing them along the way. 

But after my experience with a mute/deaf employee of Elait, and how good they do their products like other fellow humans...

It has sparked a flame in me to do my best to open a business, a business where everyone is treated equally, a cafe/restaurant that is also a haven for PWDs to eat in, a business that would give equal opportunities. A place where they feel they're not alone.

I've been doing my best to incorporate this business that is still 'in progress' in my head to my homeworks in LAS, and the comments and grade that I've been receiving from these papers...I didn't expect that I would have grades higher than the 70% I'm reaching. I'm not a smart person, I don't have medals to show for it but I know I'm smart enough to make a plan to reach this desired goal. 

I have failed multiple times in life but I would always dust myself off and just keep moving. The years of tripping down on every obstacle in life, I think...these were my small actions that would lead me there.]]> 2021-09-17 07:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748100914 Sharis Paterno sharispaterno1 https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748112104 Her story inspired to think more about how I approach my goals in life. I shouldn't just be aiming for a fixed role/ job/ position in life, but the adjective I choose to add to that is very important. I'm also inspired to be someone loving. Just to add, I'm also currently stuck in discerning which career path to take: teacher or a businesswoman.

In this day and age, a lot of us may be more inclined to choose a career generally deemed successful, whereas a career in education is usually perceived as the opposite or not as near. Ongkiko dedicated her life where there is a greater need in society, which is an altruistic action that inspires me to do the same in my own way.]]> 2021-09-17 07:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748129583 Nerissa Jumawid https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748143299 Given our subject in THEO 13, I found Ms. Sabs Ongkiko as an embodiment of what vocation is. She pursued a different path of what she initially thought. Through discernment and aa few look backs, she chose the path that not only provided meaning and purpose to her life, but a path that benefitted society--especially children--through education. I was inspired by how all the build-up of those small events in her life lead to a big change to her and those around her. And that even in the most simplest of things, she is able to create a big impact. ]]> 2021-09-17 08:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748143299 Nerissa Jumawid https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748149561 My desire to help and persevere despite these trying times were awakened.

Growing up, I've seen circumstances when people couldn't stand up for themselves. Sometimes, I was one of them. Now that I'm much older, I've come to realize that one of the things I would want to do is to help people against injustice and exclusion.

I, too, wanted to be a doctor for so long — from the moment I enter elementary school, all the way until my final years in high school. However, all of a sudden, I didn't want to push through with it. Somehow, even if I wasn't all that passionate about business and entrepreneurship, I suddenly wanted to take a business management major in pursuit of continuing my dad's business. This was because I saw how he treated his employees, all of whom were not necessarily "qualified" people who had years of experience in work or had complete educational backgrounds. These were people who didn't have much for themselves, but conversely had so much to give for the company. Listening to Miss Ongkiko's story reassured me that just because I'm not going down a path of saving people's lives, that doesn't mean I still can't do kind things for other people.]]> 2021-09-17 08:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748180004 Jerrick Yu https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748181127 Sabs Ongkiko's story inspires me to find your purpose, because your goal and purpose may not always the same. Even when we are on our way to achieving what we desire in life, we must also not forget that we do not exist just for ourselves. We were put here on Earth both as a blessing and in order to be a blessing (to others).]]> 2021-09-17 08:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748181127 Janno Chanyungco https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748185651 I personally felt inspired when Sabs Ongkiko was still undecided in the career she wishes to pursue after graduating. As of today, I am still undecided on which career I will take up on college, and seeing my peers have a definite plan pressured me. However, after hearing what Sabs Ongkiko experienced, I realized that I still have time to decide. I have also learned from her that I should reflect on the small decisions I have made and love doing because this will help me choose my career path. ]]> 2021-09-17 08:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748185651 Jerrick Yu https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748185923 In my grade school and high school years, I used to actively participate in community and outreach programs especially those by Gawad Kalinga. Although I understand that these are all difficult in this state of pandemic, I am reminded that I should not allow it to dim that desire within myself to help the community. May it be after the pandemic or in small ways right now, we all have the ability to be of service to our fellow brothers and sisters]]> 2021-09-17 08:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748185923 Janno Chanyungco https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748189688 My desire to help others was awakened after listening to her talk. I learned that we should use our strengths, talents and wisdom not only to uplift ourselves and achieve greater things but to also help others. By helping others we also uplift other people and by working together we can achieve greater heights. ]]> 2021-09-17 08:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748189688 Aeron Luciano https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748193111 Sabs Ongkiko actually has kind of made me inspired in a way. All her life, she wanted to be a doctor but also dedicated a lot of time in wanting to help the youth by doing lots of little things for them. When she was asked the big question of what her big decision will be as it will affect her career, she chose to be a public school teacher instead. It is amazing to think how she chose the vocation of being something that will be for the greater good and something that she lowkey wanted to also do. Her story makes me want to think what I really want to do after college and see whether I actually do want the career path I am trying to work towards. Do I really want to pursue business?]]> 2021-09-17 08:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748193111 Zam Albano https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748196329 Ms. Ongkiko's story is a beautiful reminder of the intricacies of our connection with others. We are all part of something bigger than ourselves, whether that be the institutions that govern us or the beliefs that shape us. With that in mind, I'm inspired to challenge my boundaries in changing how I live in order to not only further benefit my wellbeing but benefit those around me as well. It is through those kind of changes the collective are made great, allowing others to be inspired in a similar manner and reaffirming the hope in our shared humanity.]]> 2021-09-17 08:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748196329 Aeron Luciano https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748200038 Thinking and reflecting about the experience of Sabs Ongkiko, it made me really discern about the life decisions that I will be making very soon when I graduate out of college. I've always been interested in helping people find their confidence and teach them how to develop their own sense of being themselves, and I have helped a few people along the way and it really feels fulfilling. I've also always wanted to do business to be financially stable for the family and I hope that in the future, I will be able to find a vocation that makes me help other people and at the same time be financially stable.]]> 2021-09-17 08:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748200038 Mari Valle kristenvalle https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748242730 Sabs' story inspired me because she made me want to thoroughly analyze how I want to live my life.

It was very evident that she really wants to grow in loving others.

I admit that I am still deciding, continuously so on what I want for my future but I know that I really take into consideration my acquired interests and skills in this period of incubation.

However, I would still say that Sabs TEDx Talk gave me clarity. This clarity was a little nudge towards a direction that I could take should I put my mind into it.

And yet despite this apparent lack of agency, she says that they still had the choice to be good and be loving and caring with what they do and it's an option a lot of them are taking every day.

Nearing the end of my college journey, I am getting more and more confused with which path to pursue after college. Do I study for the NMAT? Do I pursue a Master's or Doctorate degree? Do I start my own business? I want to achieve so many things and deciding which path I want to take is such a difficult thing to do.

Ms. Ongkiko's story inspired me to reflect upon the past decisions that I've made to better understand what it is that truly makes me happy. Similar to her vocation, I have always been drawn towards social issues especially because I have been blessed with an education that emphasizes the importance of immersing oneself with such social issues. Overall, her story gave me hope that choosing the more loving option can make me happier despite it leading a less traditional lifestyle that is deemed to make one "happy". This means that happiness can be found in being a person for others rather than more materialistic goals. ]]> 2021-09-17 15:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748955165 Bea De Ocampo https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1748962031 I realized that the desire to help others goes beyond that because it can also give me a sense of fulfillment.

Sabs Ongkiko's story inspired me to introspect and to look to myself to see if becoming a doctor would truly make me happy and would truly help me grow as a person.

In the past I have done a lot of service work as well like Ms. Ongkiko, with teaching children, being part of religious clubs, and working on projects for children, which always made me feel the happiest even with the stress that one can feel during these events.

I see Sabs Ongkiko as a fearless person because she went with her heart despite the circumstances. If I was in her position, I would've stuck to current plans out of fear of what others would think and the disapproval that I would face from my family even though I'm unsatisfied.

"Mahirap piliin maging isang mapagmahal na tao. Kasi kailang mong lumabas at higitan ang sarili. Sa paglabas ng sarili para kang binabatak... Pero sa tuwing mababatak ka naman, lumalago ka bilang tao."

As someone eyeing to land a corporate job in the future, I have been hearing things like "there are companies that have a man-eats-man culture," hearing this is very intimidating, nerve-racking, and above all, questionable. For me it is questionable because why would someone want to step on another person just to climb up the corporate ladder. I have always thought that, "do people in corporations really think that it is okay to step on another person as long as they get a promotion and salary raise?" But Ms. Sabs Ongkiko cleared my mind from these questions, she taught me that there could be loving people in different career paths. Therefore, if I were to be given a chance to land a corporate job, I shall be a loving person. Despite the tight competition in the corporate world, I shall help my colleagues if they are having a hard time. As well as clap for others when they succeed instead of envying them. ]]> 2021-09-17 22:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1749679295 Marjorie Viola https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1749687062 Ms. Ongkiko awakened my desire to continue looking for my passion. I have always wanted to work for a corporation, but I was never certain on what position I should apply to. Her method of considering the small decisions she did as she grew up, inspired me to do the same. In addition to this, Ms. Ongkiko awakened my desire to use my skills to serve the sector. For the past few days I have been thinking if I should join Kythe-Ateneo's art exhibit. After Ms. Ongkiko's talk, I am now sure that I will join and use my skills to promote Kythe's advocacy. Lastly, her story awakened my desire to continue serving other people. As of the moment, I am a member of kythe-ateneo, a sector-based organization.

Following my dreams will help me become better at the job too thus spreading passion and love to others as well. As a comtech major, I have always imagine myself working in the corporate world, but I cannot help but imagine what my life would be like if I ended up as a veterinarian, because I really love animals. I would also feel like I would be making a huge impact on the families of the pets I will treat because pets really play a big role in a person's life.

Three years into my college journey and two years into this extraordinary situation has made me into a person who goes through everyday as if it were a routine. Studying well and doing my extracurriculars leads to a goal in mind: to have a nice academic record and a decent resume. But it's been tiring to only anchor my everyday to this quantifiable goal.

I want to be more purposeful and driven when lending a helping hand and this helped me realize how there is so much more to it in our society than our own personal problems that may be clouding us in life. This serves as a reminder for me to keep the desire of being in service to others and how we can always use our privilege to actually help those in our society who are unable to provide for themselves, especially at a time like this amidst the pandemic. We should not only care for our own struggles, but rather, we should always have a thought or a "look out" for the people around us who may be needing much more than what we are currently desiring for ourselves. ]]> 2021-09-18 05:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750041106 Isabela Acosta https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750041321 The desire for me to communicate helpful goods and services honestly as a marketing professional was reignited in me. I have always k down what I wanted to be but the pandemic has made me feel “slow"and I have forgotten what it is to dream and work for those dreams.

Recently, in my Industrial-Organizational Psychology class, we had to map out our career plans.

In a world wherein everything seems like its moving and changing quickly, its easy for us to rush into decisions. Personally, this is something I am guilty of. We feel a sense of urgency to do something, and tend to take away time to discern on what the decision we're about to make and its impact.

Sabs Ongkiko's talk inspired me to really take time to reflect especially when it comes to my personal vocation. Sometimes we just need time to recall our experiences to see what purpose is really meant or fit for us.]]> 2021-09-18 05:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750048201 Martina Marquez martinamarquez1 https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750050065 The desire to impact people's lives is what awakened me through Sabs Ongkiko's talk. I would say that I am determined to do what I put my mind into. Though I tend to get frazzled, lost and tired because I realize halfway that I'm pursuing too many commitments, and these are things I don't find myself contributing as much too. 

The challenge I got from her talk was to pursue the desires that create meaning for others. The first step for me is figuring out where I can do this.]]> 2021-09-18 05:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750050065 Michelle Go https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750052238 I think I was particularly inspired by the way she took the time to discern her path. Even though it seemed that she was set on becoming a doctor because of the course she had chosen and perhaps because of the initial plans she had, she took a step back and thought about the things that she did and was doing, in the past and present. She pondered on what had been the most loving option as she served others, and she reflected on how and in what way she served. Personally I also have troubles with discerning, so this part of her sharing was inspiring to me.]]> 2021-09-18 06:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750052238 Michelle Go https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1750054700 For me, it was the desire to serve others and make a difference in how I serve.

This may not always be the most comfortable or most favorable option but to love even the unlovable is what allows us to go beyond and see beyond our own world and realize what we can offer to the world in our own unique way. As of now I would say that I cannot tell what I can uniquely offer to the world yet, but I am hopeful that throughout my journey the Lord will allow me to meet people and go through experiences that would allow me to realize that.]]> 2021-09-21 10:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1756720265 Latisha Tan latisha_tan https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1758733010 Contrary to what most people believe, Sabs Ongkiko has reminded me that life is beyond living and existing for your own purpose and desire.

I come across stories often of people feeling empty despite their recognizable success in this world. It has always reminded me that real joy is not dependent on gaining the world's version of success. Sabs Ongkiko is a living testimony of this. She is a constant reminder that fulfillment comes from living your God-given purpose. Because she followed her God-given passion, God guided her in every step of her journey, even those very little decisions that may seem insignificant for others.

Having a purpose in itself is already an unfathomable blessing. And so, accomplishing a certain task must not be done haphazardly for the sake of merely doing it. It must rather be done with complete joy, dedication, perseverance, and excellence. This is also why Ms. Sabs Ongkiko chose not to be a teacher. She chose to be a LOVING and COMPASSIONATE teacher. There is definitely a huge difference between the two as the other would surely make a huge impact to the lives of those she is surrounded with. I am indeed reminded to fulfill my God-given purpose through serving with excellence. And I believe that throughout my journey here, I can trust God even in the gray areas of uncertainties of excellence at times. These gray areas are placed in our lives to further strengthen our God-given purpose and not the other way around. It is to recognize that fulfilling our purpose with excellence is not dependent on our strength but His. ]]> 2021-09-22 01:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1758767047 Kianna Zalameda https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1758767501 I guess whenever I look at my dreams. I think immediately of the result. Where is the result? Am I this person already? I fail to realize that to get there, the decisions I am currently making as I get there play a huge part of the journey. I'd always feel I will just immediately get there without putting in the effort to try to be that person. Even when I reach certain positions, I'd just expect everything to go well. I guess it really is an important reminder to make sure that you choose for what is right in every single decision I make. Aside from this, I am always afraid that I do not have enough skills, smarts, and talent to make a difference in the world. But I guess that's totally wrong. I can make a difference with what I have now.

Her story shows how she willingly chose to be a teacher, to be in service to others, instead of going for a higher paying job in the medicine industry.

Her story is related to the concept of vocation that I learned in my theology class this semester. It was through those lessons and this story that I fully realize that we need to reflect and be brave enough to follow our true calling. We may believe that we should choose an option because that is what we grew up with and what everyone wants us to pick. However, I, now, realize that we should do things for others and for God. We must let go of our selfishness and self-serving desires and use our talents and energy into helping the people around us. This may be scary at times, but in the end it is our choice to be brave and be a loving person. ]]> 2021-09-24 15:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1765988022 Justine Olan https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1765993658 Her story inspired me to pursue things in the name of helping others and spreading love as opposed to enriching and serving myself. Thus, when I make the small choices in my life, I will do my best to choose the more loving option. Hopefully, I will be able to make a positive change in the lives of myself, others, and the community. ]]> 2021-09-24 15:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1765993658 Gloria Gemepesaw https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1766037939 Sabs Ongkiko's story made me remember the word "passion" and how much I have lost touch with that word. Recently, I have been feeling as if life is system and I am just a robot that exists to follow the norms. To follow what people tell me SHOULD be done because it is what everyone is doing or it is what will give me a bright future. When I was younger, I had a passion for reading and writing. But because of the people around me telling me that being a doctor or a lawyer is the only way to live a good life, I pushed that dream aside, quit writing, and lost the will to read books that weren't suggested by my teachers. Now, I force myself to take up math and economic subjects because it is what is deemed "necessary" in the real (corporate) world. I wish I had the willpower to turn my back on everything and pursue something that genuinely satisfies my desires like Ms. Ongkiko. 

Until now, I am still unsure of God's plan for me. At the very least, I will always be grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way. This is something that I have learned to do as a follower of Christ. Hopefully this journey of mine will eventually lead me to a path of what true happiness would be for me.]]> 2021-09-24 15:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1766037939 Liezel Brito https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1766186080 This wasn't the first time I've heard Sabs Ongkiko give a talk as I've read an article she wrote in my THEO class last semester.

I have always been insecure and would use the expectations and traditions of my family but my desire has been slowly reignited back with this speaker, and most especially by the reflection being conducted throughout this session.

There are many things we might think we are not capable of doing until we actually try it. By making personal development a regular and important part of my life, I become more kind, more empathetic and all the other qualities and virtues that make us better people.

Kasi kailangan mong lumabas at higitan ang sarili," this was a line mentioned by Ms. Ongkiko in her speech that struck me the most. It is indeed hard to be a loving person, especially to yourself. We can keep on loving and being there for the people around us, but sometimes we are afraid to make decisions of loving our choices. I actually applaud Ms. Ongkiko on her decision to continue and look back on her small decisions. From devoting her time to kids, having a vision for them, to being the ate or even a role model. These are sometimes the dreams that we miss out on. Doing something that we enjoy or love and pursuing something we plan may be two different things for each one. But choosing the former option, in my opinion, makes us more human- it makes us more connected to the people around us and rooted. I hope one day that I can pursue and make the same decision that Ms. Ongkiko did.

I related a lot with her small decisions that encountered working with the youth, and as she reminds me to continuously look at the past as a tool to see what I'm meant to be doing at the present for the greater good of the future - not only for myself but for my nieghbors and for my love for God. ]]> 2021-10-17 10:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1821927389 Annika Rafer https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1821929892 I personally relate a lot with Ms. Ongkiko's story of serving and working with the youth. Ever since highschool/gradeschool all of my clubs and extra-curricular activities have also been with teaching and volunteering to help the youth in need in our country. Ever since the pandemic, I haven't been able to experience these encounters with the kids in real life in a long time which has blinded it from being my true calling. I was reignited to not let myself cloud my own judgement, but to see first hand what good I can do, ever since, and how it translates to what greater good I can do now and in the future.

Listening to Ms. Ongkiko's story, however, reignited a passion in me to be more aware of who I am and how I'm growing as a person.

Maybe I always ask to myself as to why people choose the kinder, more loving and more generous choices in life even to the people they do not know the most. Why do people can sacrifice themselves for something more than themselves?

Maybe as a person who isn't fully healed with my life and probably I see these aspirations of kindness and generosity in the near future when I am more fulfilled with my life path, I still ask this question to choose goodness and being drawn to the good something morethan my personal dreams.]]> 2021-10-21 12:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1833276594 Tymon Lua https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1833308809 I think it is the desire of giving oneself through kindness and generosity right here and right now.

I do always have this program in my life to become more kind, gneerous and loving when I am more complete or fulfilled in my timeline but just like Fr. Dacanay's lessons on Love where he has mentioned that "we do not need to be full of love to love or to be complete to complete/love someone."

Must I wait for the right time? Must I expect full kindness and generosity of the world just to be one? Well Iknow to some point kindness and generosity usually inspires before we become one but maybe it is not as rigid as my thoughts above.]]> 2021-10-21 12:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1833308809 Tiffannie Chan https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1833509745 The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspired me to not worry and stress so much about where I am at in life. For the longest time, she wanted to become a doctor; however, her sudden awakening towards her vocation to educate showed me that it's okay to be uncertain of what I am currently doing or where I will end up. One day, God's plan will unfold for itself and show me what I am truly meant to be doing with my life.

[Choosing the more loving option]. Her story showed me that the more loving option doesn't always have to be self-sacrificial. Well to some extent, there is a lot to sacrifice by choosing the loving option.

It made me think about how easy it is for us to overlook the small and minor decisions we make to do good for others when in reality, these decisions are what matters the most. It's easy for us to dismiss our own small efforts just because we don't immediately see its payoff, and we forget that sometimes, our presence and involvement is enough contribution to the change we want to see around us. ]]> 2021-10-22 10:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1835970356 Prestine Pajarillo https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1835972723 Her talk reminded me of my youth advocate/volunteering days.

Watching Ms. Sabs Ongkiko's talk just strengthened this desire for I believe that, just like her, my past experiences and decisions have led me to this realization and perhaps it is the path in which I would grow and fulfill my purpose.

Moreover, I especially like what she mentioned about how small decisions lead to bigger decisions. This is because I think it can also be rephrased to "small act of kindness and compassion can lead to a big impact in society and the future." This, I think, is a great reminder and motivation for us that no matter how small our actions may seem, we can make a change--we are a part of the solution.   ]]> 2021-10-22 22:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837278365 Timothy Cantonjos https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837354668 The story of Sabs Ongkiko inspired me because of the courage she had to shift career paths. As someone who always has a plan, this is such a daunting thing to do. She had the courage to turn down the potential opportunities of becoming a doctor and become a teacher instead.

It has drawn me to put purpose and fulfillment over my own needs and wants. Just like what Ms. Ongkiko said, I want to use my knowledge for good, whether it be through my career or continued studies.

My grandmother had also studied in a prestigious university and chose to serve as a public school teacher. No one was surprised then for the same reasons as Ms. Ongkiko. I look up to people like Ms. Ongkiko and my grandmother because they're willing to do what most people would shy away from. They don't just do it out of obligation, either. They do these things out of love because that's who they are. Through their choices of kindness, they became more and more themselves. Because they could see themselves clearly, they could also see where they were needed most and chose that every single day.]]> 2021-10-23 00:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837367451 Derick Gabrillo johngabrillo https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837378781 This reminded me to be kinder--to choose the more loving option every day. Being a better person doesn't always have to be some great act. It's in the little things we do everyday that shape our character. My grandparents used to say something like: be good and the rest (in life) will follow. I also want to serve my community somehow but I honestly don't know how I'd do it yet.

This line personally made me realize how we should think outside of ourselves, to be more selfless and work for others. This is where we can realize a part of our purpose is which is to contribute to others, not just ourselves.]]> 2021-10-23 02:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837522215 Carmela Rosete carmelarosete https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837551222 Ms. Ongkiko story inspired me to actually rethink the motives behind my choices. When deciding on what to do or what to be, there is a tendency for our actions to be driven by our own personal desires; however in the case of Ms. Ongkiko, both her personal desires and the needs of the community overlap with each other. As we are invited to chose the more loving option, one must understand on what that entails. In this case, it would be considering both your personal desires and the needs of the community. ]]> 2021-10-23 03:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837551222 Carmela Rosete carmelarosete https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837569289 Through this video, I believe that I developed the desire to choose the more loving option. With this video, I gained a better understanding on what that entails. My biggest dream in the world is to be fulfilled when I am older. That being said, I was unsure on how to achieve that before. Now, I learned that being in service of both the community and yourself will allow you to be more fully yourself. By choosing the more loving option, I am able to reach my goal of feeling fulfilled. ]]> 2021-10-23 03:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837569289 Dorothy Nicole Lao dorothy_lao https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837620139 Ms. Ongkiko's story has inspired me to choose the path and vocation where I will be truly happy and at the same time, be of great help to our society. It also made me realize that our decisions in the past, no matter how simple or small it is, can greatly influence our decisions in the future. We just have to take the time to reflect and look back for us to recognize that even small actions can leave a mark and make a difference in other people's lives. This should always serve as the driving force in our lives moving forward.

Her decisions in life both small and big embody what it means to live a life of charity. I feel inspired to do the same in my own little ways. May it be by choosing to be a loving daughter to my parents everyday or by offering my talents to where I am needed most and labouring with love. :) ]]> 2021-10-23 05:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1837626291 Dorothy Nicole Lao dorothy_lao https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1838065852 The story of Ms. Ongkiko has awakened my desire to be a better and loving person every single day. She reminded me how simple acts can make a big difference in other people's lives and that all of us are capable of helping others because we have our own skills to do so. By continuing to be a loving person, being of service to others would be a normal part of our lives as it would automatically come from our hearts.]]> 2021-10-23 14:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1838065852 kate oranza oranzakate https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1860814512 I think what struck me most was how she discerned her calling. In an Asian household, being a doctor would have been one of the greatest feats one could accomplish and unfortunately, the sad reality is teachers, and public school teachers for that matter aren't seen as grandiose as becoming a doctor. But she chose not what looked great but where she would become great. I think it is very humbling as most people would look at Ateneans and see them as successful businesspeople, capitalists, the snub rich kids but she literally went down from the hill and it seems like it is her greatest feat. Headlines would say she "gave up" medicine to become a public school teacher but in reality, she served where she was called.]]> 2021-11-02 06:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1860814512 kate oranza oranzakate https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1860825239 I like when she said, "kapag nakakaangat ka na, gamitin mo ang kakayahan at talino mo para iangat ang iba" and proceeded by saying when everyone else did this, we need not rely on a single person to change the current system we live in. It actually reignited the desire to better myself in order to better the community. I knew that this desire was something I would feel often but would dismiss it as a selfish thought. I never knew that God would use this desire for me to be able to actually leverage whatever platform or position He would put me in to help people. The sad reality is, the heart is not enough. Without the means, I would be nothing and if nothing then how would I be able to speak and fight for those who have less than nothing? This is what often motivates me to attempt great things - that although I doubt myself often, or feel like there are things I would not be able to do - I am motivated to achieve because of other people. The poor, neglected, abandoned, oppressed - they need someone who will see them too.]]> 2021-11-02 06:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1860825239 Neo Khalel Mirto https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1861803788 Ms. Ongkiko's story is similar to the journey of the persona in Pilgrim's Theme by Manuel V Francisco Sj and Johnny Go Sj. It can be said that she has found her own unique place in the greater scheme of things, and that is as a public school teacher doing her vocation out of her love for teaching the youth as a public school teacher. This has reminded me that the things that I love, strategy games, a gacha game called Arknights, leadership situations, program heading, being a Management student, as of this time point to me towards being a leader for a cause, a deputy of a visionary to a greater good. One of those causes of course, is spreading the good news of Kuya Jesus Christ, and helping others achieve fulfilment in their life journey by drawing closer to the LORD, our Father in heaven.]]> 2021-11-02 14:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1861803788 Albert Gagalac https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1869492428 What really inspired me from Sabs Ongkiko's talk is her perspective on life and what it means to be human. Instead of choosing the career path that would've opened many doors for her, she ended up choosing what she has always wanted to do: help the youth.  

Her emphasis on compassion and love for others really touched my heart as it was something that I aspired to be as a kid. ]]> 2021-11-05 08:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1869492428 Albert Gagalac https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1869543419 I think everyone has had this moment in their lives before, feeling lost over what they want to do in their lives. No matter how prepared you seem to be for the future, because of the unpredictable nature of life it's hard to be prepared for everything. Because of this story I am even more determined to find out what I truly want from my life here on Earth. I hope as well to be able to help others through this goal I have for the future.]]> 2021-11-05 09:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1869543419 Dominic Balajadia https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1870306363 Her story inspires me as she believes that teachers are not only there to teach, they are there to touch lives at the same time. If all our teachers were to teach with the passion and thought of ms. Ongiko, the country will be in a better place. As, it always starts with our education, through our education we have the ability to change the country for the better. This story inspires because it shows how one can choose a passion with a purpose, which makes working more enjoyable and with a motivation to do your best on a daily basis.

She made me realize that sometimes taking the risk can be worth it, most especially if it's something that makes us happy or could benefit/help others in the process. Her story really moved me to rethink my life, actions, and plans. ]]> 2021-11-06 06:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1871240294 Wendy Yuchengco https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1871242996 Ms. Ongkiko's story really inspired me to take risks, try new things by stepping out of my comfort zone, and to pursue my dreams and things I am passionate about. 
I have always been uncertain about what I wanted to do in life, but she made me realize that it's okay to discover these along the way and to never ever give up or lose hope.
It awakened the desire in me to continue to grow and be a better person each day, and also to never give in to the negative doubts or thoughts I have in my head. ]]> 2021-11-06 06:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1871242996 Lance De Castro lanceandreidecastro https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1874278265 While watching Ms. Onkiko's TedTalk, I felt like it was very timely for me to watch it because it speaks about making decisions that would surely have an impact in my live. It really inspired me to seek out other opportunities even if it is outside of my comfort zone. The whole talk made me realize that no matter what choices I make in my life as long as it would help me love and look things in a brighter perspective. Her story really redirected me into something that make a person for others regardless of the decisions I make in life.]]> 2021-11-08 06:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1874278265 Lance De Castro lanceandreidecastro https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1874289211 Ms. Ongkiko said "wag nating piliing maging matalino, piliin natin maging magaling" which basically talks about her story.

That the situation I'm in right now is a testimony to my success in the future. ]]> 2021-11-08 06:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1874289211 Lance De Castro lanceandreidecastro https://padlet.com/campusministryls/OCMDesires/wish/1874294762 My burning passion in pursuing what I love reignited within me because of Ms. Ongkiko's story.
