by Joana Sumaylo


We must have decision to make in our life .A change to be a better person and as a student here in STI. We made a decision every time, day or seconds of our life. And every decision we make affects or change our life.

We must be responsible every time we make our decision. It reflects how we handle our personal life. Every action we make must have a right decision that a person make and it’s because of his own choice and it’s his decision. It maybe a positive or negative that will change the personality of an individual.

Decisions are only a guide to help us decides what we must take or have. Be careful and aware of your decision, it may affect your life or the life of other around you. If you made a wrong decision don’t be afraid to make another decision take it as a lesson and you must learn from it. Every decision change us, and this change must be positive for a better and a good citizen.

Now a days, many students might have to take wrong direction in their life. As a student, we need to make sure that we can take a good direction in our life to have a better future. This starts with a change. A change were we need to discipline our self and to make a good decisions in every action that we can take.
A change starts with us. As a student, I want to prove myself that I can also make changes in my life specially in my style of living. We can achieve it by trusting our self, by trusting God and to believe in our ability.
We must accept our self first before others can accept us. And people will only respect us if we are true and who you really are.

An Effective Change

An Effective Change

by Lexues Villafuerte

Imagine a candle in a room that has no light. In order for the candle to be lighten, someone must ignite the flame. A candle only needs a spark to lighten it. The candle is the change that when it ignites the flame, the whole room will be enlighten. But to do this, someone must move.

Filipinos are known to be hospitable, lovable in our country, courageous, and united. But if we try to look on the problems of our government, where are those good traits of Filipinos? Our country is facing many problems like in poverty, education and even in government system. But these things couldn’t be changed if the country’s people will not change. We all need to change. We Filipinos are known to be courageous, hardworking and intelligent. But these traits will not be effective because we lack self-disciplined, we only intend to do our own choice in life. We also lack of initiatives. We always depend on our government. We never think of the better ways on how to be an effective citizen of this country.

You need to change for ourselves. We know that life is not easy at all. So what’s the problem? You always complain and complain. You tend to say that you lack time where in we have a lot of time to watch tv. You complain about you headaches where in you drink wine last night it that’s why it makes you feel dizzy. The problem is in you. You never think the reasons why you have this problem. You think that if the world changed, what’s the use of changing ourselves? Know yourself and do your best to get what you want. You are the one controlling yourself. Whatever a man thinks, he does. So why don’t you think of changing yourself? Change how you act and live as if you already have everything. Say thank you even for the smallest deeds. How can you given more if you’re not contented with what you have? Be grateful in everything you receive. Inspired others on what you’re doing and with that changed in yourself is now beginning.

The Change I want to see begins with me

Ronie Avena

          A world full of struggles and pressures that we all know is not easy to handle. Starting a change is not easy to begin with, change can be for better or for worse, it depends on the person on how he/she will bring some change, In my opinion Of Course I want some change for the better , not only for me but for my family, friends, relatives and for everybody.

Now I’m only a typical college student who wants to finish a degree in the future, to make my parents proud of me, and I know this hardships I experiencing right now is a key for success in the future. When I finish this I will have better job, I can help my parents with everyday living.

          When I become successful in my career someday I promise and I surely will help other people in the society, make an orphanage to those people doesn’t have a shelter, to the elders who abandoned by their family and finally I swear that I will not add myself to people in this socity who gives hard time in the present time.

Discipline your mind

Discipline your mind

by John Lester Garcia

The human mind is one of the most advanced systems in the Universe. The mind is part of the intellect, self-awareness and consciousness of who we are. To discipline your mind, you need to control how to work your thoughts and direct positive intentions. A good way to start is by changing your thoughts in positive attitudes. Because the more positive thoughts you have, the more your mind will be at peace, reducing stress and negative emotions.

One of the main things that prevent your mind from becoming discipline is distraction. Example is being addicted in computer games, watching television, listening music, more fun in reading magazines and etc.
When you discipline your mind, you allow yourself to achieve your dreams in your life. And you have to be willing to take a chance even though you may be afraid.

The first thing you have to do is believe that you can change. Start listening to how you think of yourself and discipline your mind to control your body. And have the right mind of we our thinking in a every seconds that we need to think a idea for the good of everyone.

Change molds the world. To live a fruitful life is to live a life that is adorned with challenges. We need to undergo a process. And that can never be easy. 

by Jemeca Santiago

Life is a process and a process connotes change.

Change isn’t easy. When we wish to change ourselves, the change will be met with great resistance. Change is the most difficult phenomenon that may happen in life. Though we experience hardships, tortures and other forms of abuse, we still go away from change because of the sad reality that we are used to live a difficult life and the worst is this difficult life has provided us a subtle comfort zone that has made us coward and afraid of change.

As a youth, we should be thankful that we are given a chance to experience this phase of life. It is when we’re being a youth that we are starting to have so many dreams to chase and so many hope to count on. It is when we’re being a youth when our minds are full of idealism that becomes our guidance. Guidance is fulfilling our dreams and building our nation’s future. Youth are going to grow up, we are the generations that will become the leaders of our nation. We are the future leaders of our country. And that is why, THE CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME, WITH US. This is a position that brings a lot of benefits and opportunity for us. We are the generation which started to plan the future of our lives, and not only our lives, but also the lives of our society. The youth have such a big power in helping to change the world for the better. It all starts with something that we call idealism. Idealism is a trigger that keeps us move on the track that we choose. This is the phase when we try to find something that we believe. This is the time that we actually can use to make a better living through the role of youth in building a change.

We are the front liners of our nations. Without consistent and effective actions. Without constant vigilance over our thoughts, our words, our behaviors, our actions and decisions. Without a pushing forward of our ideals despite the resistance, the fear and the doubts of others, our efforts will fail.

Aim High! For The goal

“Aim High!  For The goal”

by Anthony Cabral

‘The changed I want to see start with me”. Why do we need changes for a better person? How can affect into our life? What are those needed to be change? If you want to change your life of course you should to choose the change for the better because this is the big decision that will change your direction into a person. You are the one to decide the need for change and you are the one who can decide to right or wrong pathway. To make changes you need to be aware. And we need know what we are ability. You should know what you can contribute to make change for the better. You must know your limitation to having changes.

As a student, it's very difficult to make changed as a better person. As the part of this nation, we can contribute to make changed in my own simple way. To become wisely, practical, useful and excellent we should cooperate all to be sure that changing will be better for the future, but not easy to change our life for making a good future. We are having a own big responsibility so that we should focus in our mind.

Life is too short, we should start the changing in own way, for the next generation we can contribute our learning. “The youth are the hope of our country”, a saying from Dr. Jose Rizal. So the youth are has a big responsibility to make a better future. We can choice in right direction or wrong direction it’s depends upon to your decision.

We can say that past is the symbol of trials when the present is the right time to make a better person and the future is the symbol of hope. We just face the problem for the better life “try and try until you succeed”. Hopefully the youth will be good model that can share to the next generation. And main goal of the changing ourselves to become better person is to be fully developed our country.
