Me, Myself and I

Good day. Let me first introduce myself. I`m Len-Len F. Falcon, 2<sup>nd</sup> year Education student at University of Batangas. I took up Bachelor of Elementary Education and planning to major a Content Course. Right now, I`m 18 years of age, living in the city of Batangas, barangay Kumintang Ilaya together with my family.  You can know me better if you will encourage yourself to read this story of mine.

I`m from a happy and blessed family, even not that rich like other`s have, still, we`re filled with love. But when I was a child, I didn`t feel the love that my parents have given to my siblings. I felt the discrimination that cause me to be quiet whenever I`m with them. Even my social relationship outside the house got affected. I`ve got shy even in a simple situation and I don`t want somebody staring at me because I think and feel that there`s something wrong with my personality. Maybe, it`s because of what environment I grown up to. Then the time passed by until I graduated elementary. My parents planned to send me in a private school and to be an evening student like my brother. At first, there`s a fear within me because this would be another challenge given to me like being a stranger who will meet another people and adapt another environment. But still, I go through all of this even though there`s a part of me saying that I can`t do this anymore and I`m tired of understanding the things around me. But when I become a working student at the age of 15, I began realizing all of these things. I`m so thankful to God alone for He has given me this kind of circumstance that made me realize that “Everything happens for a reason”. This experience also make me to draw near to God again since I`ve got lost in the way that He preferred me to be with. Because of God`s revelation, I moved on and happily walk with God until I graduated high school with flying colors that cause me to be one of the EBD Scholars which became a big help for me to continue my studies despite of financial problem.

There are times that we blame other people, ourselves or even God in the negative things that`s happening in our life. But I think, it`s better for us to accept this positively or should I say, take it as a blessing from God. I believe as what the song says that “There`s a rainbow always after the rain”. Meaning, despite of what you`re experiencing right now, God is so good and above all things that He can turn impossible things to happen. Just trust what God says in His Word for He will never ever fail His promises, as long as you`re a child of the Most High God.
