Always Busy

"I'm studying!" Do you know how I feel whenever I scream that out loud? I feel excited and proud. I tend to not tell anyone how proud I am of myself with the obligations I have, especially at my age. My age is something I rarely think of anymore in the recent years. Compared to other people in my batch (Class of 2014) (who are already college freshmen), I am young, very. I am only sixteen (16) years old. Oooh I'm young and I shouldn't be doing all these stuff. If I think of it and act that way, I'll be forever buried ten feet under all my humanly obligations, and it's definitely not the place I want to stay in my whole life. Yes, whole life. You are exaggerating! Oh my gosh! No, I'm not. (You are probably wondering who that person writing the italicized words is. Those words are statements that I expect normal and not understanding people would most probably say.) Yes, whole life, because if I turn myself into someone who simply wants to take the load off of his back and breathe all the time, I would drown. Surviving is mostly about attitude, and a multitude of our human neighbors do not understand that. People always think it is about the money. Well, it is, but not that much of a big deal it is! The world does not revolve around money. Hey, if you do not have the right attitude in life, do you think you will get an abundant amount of money. Nope. Nu-uh!
  
Going back to my topic. Why did it take you so long? Oh I am sorry; I was too busy talking about people like you. Always busy? Wazz that for? Recently, I finally understood myself. I am lazy until I start doing my task. I am definitely not proud that I am lazy, but I am sure proud that I know how to deal with it. Whenever I tell myself "stand up and study for the SAT. You see that book that is about 2 inches high, you need to finish that in three weeks time." My heart will panic, but I try to calm myself down. And I get those feelings of ... laziness. I always remind myself, "just do it. Fight your attitude. Rather, change it. Or, rather, DEAL WITH IT." and I stand up and get that humungous book and study because Harvard would most probably would not let a lazy Filipina girl in their premises. I am not expecting the admission officers to see this post, but I sure do hope they will. If you are an admissions officer, I would like you to know that:
- I would not be able to tell how many days or weeks or months I would need to define and explain myself to you, but I can give you a few of my characteristics here.
- I know 5 languages. English, Filipino, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- I LOVE learning new things. In fact, I'm working part-time for a preschool tomorrow, again, and we are going to an event by the UNICEF. Plus, they are giving us a tour around their place here in the Philippines.
- As much as I love learning, I also love seeing others learn. I am the founder of a non-profit organization called Happy Brains. We nest experienced tutors and teachers who are willing to teach children for free. Aside from my love for teaching, one of the reasons why I put this up is that whenever I see volunteering organizations online, I get excited and all but their places are far, far from me, and most definitely my parents would not allow me because of health concerns. I am a very asthmatic person and we are trying to maintain my asthma-free condition right now. So, I thought, maybe there are others like me in other places. Happy Brains would like to help volunteers be able to teach nearby. If you would want to know more about Happy Brains, please wait for the link. I'm still building the website for them. But, we already have a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram account. :)
- I am deft with math, music and arts. I really want to be a doctor. Whether you (Harvard admissions) accept me or not, I will become a doctor.

That's it for tonight. It's 1:04 am and I wouldn't want to lose brain cells.
