"The people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do it." —Rob Siltanen
Though the future may not be clear
What is clear is that I will not give up
I will never give up on myself
Despite the temptation of an easy life style
What I hope to achieve is to become someone in history
I want to leave a legacy behind.
When people see my name they'll know that I changed the world
Even if I don't get to meet these people that I inspire
I hope that one day, my life will be this way.
However, I do have fear. But that's normal.
I want to change the education system. I want to help people in both the U.S and the Philippines.
I know that I can't do that alone.
But my fear is... That I have a habit of losing myself in my work.
It causes me to take for granted the people that are in my life. Though I don't lose them, my relationship with them will be effected.
These people will always support me and I will always support them
But how close I am to them may change
And my fear is that in the end, I will achieve what I am striving
But I lose who I am in the process.
Hopefully, that will not be the case.
But if I didn't fear, then I wouldn't strive.
For how can a person gain if there is nothing to lose?
