Graduating Poem

Announced Friday, May 9 at the 9th Annual Filipino American Graduation Celebration

Annihilate the negativity
Exhibit positive productivity
I strive to be the best that I can be
Perhaps one day be the next extraordinary
Revolutionary

You see everyone,
I relocated back to my hometown of LA,
After living in the Northern California East Bay,
Ultimate reason,
Being,
In order to go back to school,
To expand my lifelong tool,
Of education,
Growth & inner activation,
Inspiration,
Self-renovation,
It’s taken me 3 long arduous, stressful years,
Self-driven, a multi-tasking mogul of several responsibilities ,
So that I can complete my Bachelors Health Science degree,
And begin to create interventions for several communities.

My gratitude extends to God, my creator above ,
Who gives me His unending Love,
from my dear supportive family, my parents Linda, Victor, and brother, Jepoy
Oh boy,
Be aware
There's my boyfriend, Jose,
what can i say? He's great.
My cousins, Val, Larry, JP who's been w/ me through my personal history.
So has my friends, Thomas & Kay.
Who's laid.
Beside me through laughter & tears.
…These people are the instruments in my life.

Plant the seed and push for peace, because we are one global Filipino family!
