The time of the Ka-VITAAN is now. They are creating waves and inspiring young Filipinos to aspire, believe and achieve! As First Vita Plus celebrates its 12th year, there are many things that are definitely worth looking forward to. The emergence of the Ka-VITAAN is one of them. It is amazing to see such passion and dedication from STUDENTS and young professionals who are very active and equally committed to spread the vision of First Vita Plus. Some of them are doing the business on the side because they are still in school but their energy is just amazing! iVE MET A NUMBER OF THEM WHO SPEND THEIR DAYS IN SCHOOL AND THEIR NIGHTS DOING TALKS, ATTENDING SEMINARS AND PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION. What is even more admirable is their focus. When you talk to them, you can see the fire in their eyes, the determination to change their lives and to fulfill their dreams. The best part of it is that iTS NOT JUST ABOUT MAKING MONEY. Ask them why they are in the business and they will immediately say, it is because we want to be independent. We want to give back to our parents what they have so generously given us all these years. We want to experience financial independence and depend on ourselves for the little things that we need. Why ask if we can earn the money ourselves? Financial independence is giving back to our parents, because life is never easy for a parent whose one and only concern is to give his child the best education and comfort there is. To be financially independent is to be financially responsible and to be financially responsible is to achieve financial freedom. I started managing our family’s shoe business when I was 19 years old. It was a challenge that “normal” teenagers wouldn’t even think of accepting because I had to run a multi-million peso business and take care of a workforce composed of people much older than I was. But I did it. My age was never a deterrent and I was not discouraged by the many problems that came my way. Why? Because I was armed with the optimism of my youth and with the determination that only comes from wanting to fast track my dreams regardless of the many trials that I had to hurdle. The same principle guides me now as I mentor First Vita Plus Ka-VITAAN. I want them to feel that no challenge is ever insurmountable, that no trial can and should bring them down. I want them to realize that youth is never a liability but an advantage that should be maximized. I want them to be emboldened, to reach far higher that their grasp and to dream bigger than what is written in their diplomas. As a mother, I value education. But what is even more important is that I want my children to know that THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE THE FOUR WALLS OF THEIR CLASSROOMS. WHAT THEY LEARN IN SCHOOL IS an integral stepping stone into their future but at some point, they must take a leap of faith into the unknown, into where their true passions lie. I do not gauge my children’s successes on their grades but on the learning that they acquire, and on the values that are instilled in them. -Maam Doyee Tactacan-Tumpalan (VISION OF KAVITAAN)
