I am but a small voice
I am but a small dream
To smile upon the sun
Be free to dance and sing
Be free to sing my song to everyone

Chorus:
Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one
Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one

We have one hope
We have one dream
And with one voice
We sing…

Coda:
Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

(instrumental)

I am but a small voice
I am but a small dream
To smile upon the sun
Be free to dance and sing
Be free to sing my song to everyone

Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one
Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one

We have one hope
We have one dream
And with one voice
We sing, we sing

Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

 Set in 1953, Katherine Watson (Roberts) is a free-spirited graduate of UCLA who accepts a teaching post at Wellesley College, a women-only school where the students are torn between the repressive mores of the time and their longing for intellectual freedom.

All i can say about this movie is  that, we should not limit our own potentials.  We should go beyond our expectations and reach for the stars no matter what the consequences are. If you have a vision, if you have a dream, then go for it. Time is gold.  And you know what? Did you know that the noblest job in this world is teaching? We should be proud of our mentors/teachers for they just don’t teach us about our lessons. It’s also about life. It is not ALL how perfect you write & say but MORE ON what & how NOT SHALLOW the meanings of your understandings…..it is about sincerity in what you believe in….about being genuine….about being good deep in your heart….

 Most of the time, i consider myself as the opposite one. Why?

First let me define what a reactive person means. According to Stephen R. Covey, reactive people don’t take responsibility for their own lives. They feel victimized – a product of circumstances, their past, and other people. They don’t see themselves as the  creative force of their lives.

It’s like seeing a half empty milk in a glass over half full of milk in a glass.

Mostly i am  an impatient person, get irritated easily, anxious, and insecure over such little things. Like arguing with my dad or with my sister over such nonsense issues. I’m tired of this. Keep repeating things over and over. I’ve realized I have taken things for granted.

Let me tell you more about myself. I am 25 years of age and still I’m in college. Yes I am proud to say, that I am very loyal to my alma mater… haha. My mom passed away a few years back. I am the eldest daughter. I have two younger sisters but apparently the youngest died a few months she was born.

For the past 22 years, our family struggled hardships. My mom got ill after she brought me into this earth.

A few years back, I was a happy person. I got a grandma who profoundly dedicated her time to God and Mama Mary by praying rosary everyday, having ecstatic cousins visiting every summer, a well-loved friends and neighbors. Most of all, am proud to say, I stand for my core values in life. I was surrounded with much love.

That was a long time ago.

Until I too got ill.

To cover up my emptiness, I just go shopping. When I am anxious, I spend my school allowance on anything that catches my eye. I have no real intimate friends in school. Because of my personal situation, I mostly rely on my own self. I have low self esteem.

Right now I say to my self: Enough is enough.

My motto: “Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy—because we will always want to have something else or something more…”

If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self…”

From now on, today, I Will be a PATIENT, HUMBLE, HONEST, POLITE, and most of all, a LOVING person. I will treat others as i want to be treated.
