I was hanging out with my classmates when somebody approached us, “Kuya, bili po kayo?” (Brother, would you like to buy?) She was holding a plastic bag with biscuits inside it. I was amazed with her courage to convince people despite the fact that she might get offended by people who do not understand her situation. Yes, she may not be affluent but her industriousness is really inspiring. It is not a new thing because we are living in a country which, according to the book I read, Sociology: Focus on the Philippines by Panopio and Raymundo, 36% of total population are living in poverty. The estimated value was based on 2000 Philippine Census and maybe it already increased today. However, poverty is not a hindrance if a Filipino wants to be productive and successful. Maybe we are just lazy but if we will work hard and if we are determined, nothing is impossible with the help of Almighty.

I can’t recall the day when I first stepped into the hallway of my school. Starting from an introvert individual, I can see that I had physically evolved and mentally challenged.
Why did I choose to take up computer science? Why not ECE, accountancy, or law? Would it be because we are in the world or age of computers? Could it be because of the widespread of computer games, internet use, blogs, or that cs is an in-demand course? Definitely not.
I couldn’t think of any reason why I chose this course but many reasons about shifting into another course keep coming out of my mind. I never dreamed about being a computer programmer- making my eyes blur, multiply the number of my white hairs from complicated machine problems.
