A very inspiring message from a young student from Davao. Please, read on: To my peers, let us be more than what we planned to be. No one need be great in order to be great. Deeds need not be recognized, for good things don’t need recognition in order to be good. If you sing, sing for progress. If you dance, dance for progress. If you play sports, do it for progress. We all have our own ways of fighting, of helping. Every little thing counts. And right now, every little thing is needed more than ever. And it’s a challenge for all of us. But what’s more challenging is to keep ourselves humble. Humility is as elusive as it is as loyal. Philanthropic deeds aren’t enough. Hundreds of thousands worth of donation isn’t enough. We have to ask ourselves, for whom do we do what we do? This is our time. The fate of the Philippines is in our hands. Let’s do this for our country. Let us redeem its dignity where it lost it—right where we are now. Let us be who we are called to be. Let us not allow anyone to enslave us further. Let’s do this not for hatred of the government, but for the love of our country, our motherland. Let us be Filipinos. ------------------------------------ Let me share this Andrea Isabelle Flores Mejos to my colleagues and friends from: The Nameless: Unsung Heroes & Martyrs - Pi Sigma Fraternity Alumni Association, Inc.
