Two of my classmates when I was in Elementary are
running for a position during this Brgy Election. I’d call them classmate K and
classmate B. I witnessed the speech made by classmate K during the meeting de
avance ( if I spelled it right ). Man! He speaks like a Mayor, a real
politician far from classmate K i used
to know. Though, with all fairness in School He really has a leader-like traits
and charisma. I didn’t know then, that He would have the courage to be a real
politician someday.. J
To my surprise I often caught myself smiling to the
thought. Again it made me realized that time passed like a flash. It seems like
it is not so long ago when we were sitting in the same classroom, listening to the
teacher, writing, doodling and playing! We were kids then. And now, here they are,
aiming to be one of the leaders of their respective places, about to hold a
position which serves as crucial branches of the Brgy. It wowed me. J
I had a little chat with classmate K on the same
night I heard him on his speech. Man! He is a matured speaking/thinking fella.
I just hope it’s not just because of politics, but if it is I wish him to
continue doing so.
Whitney Houston is sooo right when she said in her
song that the children are our future. I didn’t give so much attention on those
lines before and now I realized. Indeed, The Children are our future. Back in
the 90’s we were those kids who looks up to the leaders back then, now some of
my fella are about to be the leaders who will be looked up by kids in this
present age ( Like my nephews ). Again, it reminds me to take care of the
children especially these children that God has entrusted to us. Good- nurtured
kids equals good future. I may not yet
be the parent who has the direct responsibility of these children but I can be
a Tita who can help the parents in shaping them to be the good leaders someday.
( that if they choose to be ). Honestly, it is not so easy to discipline or I
may say to handle a child especially with my age and with my experience. But I
guess the effort of trying alone is a credit already. J
