"Don't limit your challenges; challenge your limits."

That is the quote that talks about the whole essence of the
symposium held last September 20. It was a very inspiring hour as we,
the students, were able to heed life lessons from our guest speaker, Mr.
Arnold Aranaydo. We learned that despite the things we lack in life, we
can still be able to surpass those limitations and make them our assets
to move forward in life. We should not be limited unto what we are today
because there are so many things in life that we should explore and
experience. We should not settle in our places, but strive hard to achieve
the best version of ourselves. It will always be depend on our will,
choices and determination, and never on the things we lack.

In our conducted symposium, with the theme “Life... Beyond

Limits”, we all get our mind, heart and soul open about what struggles
and difficulties that those who have disabilities and yet that kinda barrier
didn't hinder them to continue striving for success. And now, they are
more productive and a great contributor in society and also serve as role
models and good example not only to those alikes but also on those who
are living without ease that you can do something that will be beyond on
what you if you will don't limit yourself about the things that you can do.
With a proper training, you can further hone your skills and with a
continuous learning about yourself as you walk the path you created,
you can further understand your essence. In result, you will earn not just
money or tangible things but also those intangibles especially affection,
respect and acceptance. For all of us, those differently abled are not
seperated or different from us but should be included and accepted as
part of growing society. We should treat them as our own common and
should be respected as ourselves. We have to include them in the
society because they are with this ability which help and contribute in
uplifting success and welfare.

They can do what we can even with those anchored hindrance

because they treated it as a blessing not a curse. They will do what we
can because they have all the will power to transcend and surpass their
limitations. Because life is a continuous journey so we can encounter
peoples in different dilemm and situation in society. Some can build you
and help you grow while the remains can serve as a lessons that you will
carry along continuing life process. Like what the our guest speaker had
already done in his life, about the train, learn and earn. We are all
subject to success and triumph even we have disabilities and/or
underprivilege because that doesn't define you as a person. You are the
writer of your own path to success and the playwright of the fate you are
about to take.

Thus, at the end of the session we have learned that for us to be

able to learn and grow, we need to move beyond our comfort zones and
in every things that are limiting us to be more productive, we should not
have any doubts in transcending into it because we as an individual,
there is no one who will help us first but ourselves only. After our
speaker shared his experiences In life, We feeled inspired, because
throughout all the challenges, problems and difficulties he have
experienced, he still get the triumph on his life, regarding his physical
appearance. He have shared many achievements he have reach that
makes us more inspired, because as a student that didn't have any
disabilities, this sharings may be a challenge for us, because there is a
pressure on us that saying on our mind that we should achieve the
things he have done, we should be like him which is being a successful
one, but after applying holistically thinking, We have realized that instead
of thinking this thing as a challenge for us, we should consider this
happenings on the life of our speaker as an inspiration that will serve to
us as a motivation. We have learned also that even with those stopping
button in their body, they still choose to press continue driving in the
journey they make and that it was a very fun experience to be given the
opportunity to organize an event. Though it may be hassle at some part,
it still cannot be denied that the memories we shared from the
symposium are meant to be kept within our hearts. We, as classmates,
were able to know each and everyone's capabilities more especially
when it comes to editing, designing and even performing. In this
symposium, we are all understand the meaning of success that you work
on and the difference of it the success you give up. We are all able to
reflect about the situation and real-life scenario of a differently able
person is traveling at. In this event, we should get and apply those
teachings on how will you attain success even there are forces that will
gonna stop you in achieving it. We should be curious about what you
can do if you will to surpass your limit. That lesson implies what will be
your life... BEYOND LIMITS.
