PASSED EXPERIENCE ONLY As I know that my life is full of challenges that give more inspiration to do something good to other

people, not even in my part but also to the side of my beloved parents, brothers and sister. I am in the third placed son of Pio and Luzbella. I have six brothers and one sister. As I know that if we are in a big family belongs, the main problem is financial, food and clothing. As I remember when I was young, I live in mountainside of Maasin Iloilo. This place before was uncivilized. This is the place of rat. That gives headache in our government. Its because of the risk situation, my father decided to migrate in other place. Fortunately, he found a place that near in school. At the first time when I saw another children going to school, I was happy and excited to join with them. I approached my father and asked that I want to study, he smile looking at and said ok ah basta ikaw. When the classes open, he enrolled me. At the first time of classes I was astonished because I walked almost one kilometer. I felt tired everyday but because of the excitement to join and play other children its just like a giant live in a place were more food. That gives life for them. When the time come that I was in grade six, that I remember, theres event happened that I will never forgot, when I was inside of the class room my teacher delivered her lecture and I was listen attentively, suddenly I felt weak until I collapse. My teacher got cramming and refers me in the clinic until my soul return. That event happened to me I have learn that I abdicate other things not in the food. Every time I remember this event I inspired to make a dream that make a better life for me. Fortunately, the class was end and I got awards maybe this gift that I received from the hardworking. I know that the lord have plan for me and I will discover it. I pursue my studies in high school without supporting of my parents. I was working student. I worked at night and study during the day. I finished my studies with sacrifice a lot. I have a dream that I need to accomplish before I pass on this word full of tears. When I was fourth year high School, There is a guy visited in our school. He is a seminarian. He was conducting a vocation campaign. He gave the exam for those who want to enter in seminary. It because of my curiosity, I took the exam luckily I passed it. I always communicate our vocation promoter, Fr. Ruel, I asked him about the formation of seminary; and he told me that you must attain the vocation orientation; I attained the vocation orientation placed in Zaraga Iloilo. That activity I learned little bit about the seminary life. It because of my dream that I need to change my bad attitude and habit, I decided to enter in seminary. Almost two years that I am journeying in seminary, I realized that I am not happy I do not know what the reason behind maybe it is personal problem because I was affecting by the family problem. I wrote this experience that I have because I dont have subject about the inspirational story. Maybe this semester is my last journeying on this seminary. I know that I have a vocation even not this calling, but I have also calling beside of this priesthood. If I will get married someday at least I have a knowledge that I can apply to myself and my family. I know that God is always live in us. He knows everything what our plan in life. I hope that God should be favored my decision, and he listen of what I have asking to him. God is merciful and have an infinite love. Thank you for reading maam, May the lord blesses you always and give long life so that you may able fulfills your mission that he prepare for you. GOD IS WITH US, WE MUST REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS WHEREEVER WE OUR.
