Change is something that is constantly occurring in our lives. Not a single moment goes by when everything in our lives will remain consistent. In fact we need to be aware that change is something that will not change.
Sometimes we need to make choices, and I choose change for the better. This past few days, I have been thinking. I’m not a kid anymore. I am growing up and I need to accept that things are changing and I can’t do anything to stop those changes. And so I decided to grow up. Since first year until now, I know I’m still childish. I want that to change because years from now I’ll be in college. I have to face it with my eyes open and my mind build up. I need to be more responsible , if I want to really finish my studies.
I also want to make a change in my society. And I know I can change it for the better. I maybe just a student but I know I can make a change. I can join the activities that will help improve the cleanliness of our town.
I know I can also change my nation. Computers and internet are good things to change our nation. I maybe just one but one is all it takes to start change. I can post activities and information’s that will hopefully encourage the youth to join me change our nation. Just by studying, I know I can change the Philippines economy. By studying , I can get good grades and I can go to college and finish my studies. I can get a good job and the percentage of those who are jobless will lessened. And who knows? I might be an inspiration to the upcoming generation.
But the change I really want to do is to change the world. I know I can’t stop the wars between two countries or feed those hungry and homeless kids. But I can change the world in my own little ways. They might say that I can’ change the world because I’m too young but I won’t stand here and be the target of temptations. Drugs and early parenthood is the main problem of teens now. It’s a struggle not to be involved with drugs and stuff. But I know I won’t be one of those guys who don’t care about their future. I think by not being like them any good , I can also tell my fellow teens that we can help change the world by giving love to each and everyone. One’s love alone can change things for the better.
Changes can happen everyday and anywhere. But we need to see to it that those changes are for the better. And if they’re not, the we have to make it to be from the better.
