One of the most aspiring and worth emulating persons I’ve known is from grade 7
Sapphire of Soong National High School that moved my heart because of his rare quality
at his very young age.
A 13-year-old is a man of perseverance, courage and values. In spite of the
challenges brought by this pandemic he remains strong and determined in life. He is a
working student at his very young age. In his age, he already started to earned money.
He worked as a “farmer” and everyday he received a salary of 250 pesos as a result of
his labor. He said, “pobre kayo mi sir, mao na mutrabaho jud mi”. He added, gusto pud
namo mutabang sa panginahanglan sa balay.
With all the experiences he encountered. He is now a man of values. He believed
that, “If you become a person of values then and only then you will become successful in
life, Success is nothing without the values you earned from your experiences. What
brought him great joy is the people who molded him to become a better person. He was
so grateful because of the people who reached him to realize his dreams. He was
optimistic and confident that what he learned will always be remembered and kept in the
heart.
Zairiel have high hopes to finish his study. He is very eager to balance his work
and study. Though there are times that he is tired going to school to get the self-learning
activities but he is destined to withstand whatever circumstances for he wanted to make
his dreams come into reality. He is an inspiration. He is a Hero to his family.
