I CAN BE A STAR

"I can do this. This is my motto whenever things get hard because I believe that God is with me"


"Come let's practice", I called my friend Armand one late afternoon afternoon after our English class.He called other participants to proceed to the school gymnasium.

Each one took his assigned place and started reciting the first stanza of the poem. Then, the second and so on until we successfully finished reciting the entire piece.


"Good job, children! You can win this, "Miss Villanueva, our English teacher commented.

How did Masilanueva motivate the children to give their best?

I could still recall one of the most challenging moments in my life three years ago when I got sick of dengue. Nobody could tell that I can surve that time. But because offered everything to God, I have nothing to worry.


That moment made me realize that only in His hands can be sure that I can be a star and will continue to shine even in the midst of darkness.
