One Miracle: All I Ever Needed
Maybe if I did great in my first year in Ateneo Law School, I would spend my summer 2013 without worrying whether or not I will stay in the same school for the incoming academic year. Since what happened is the contrary, I ended up suffering every waking moment. My negative thoughts almost killed me . Thinking of leaving Ateneo was hard to bear. If I were selfish, I can simply walk away and never look back. I do believe that there are still greater things other than law school (though my dad believes otherwise). The case is I have loving parents who expect me to bring home the bacon. I love them so much that I don’t want to break their hearts. I don’t want them to see me as a failure.
The summer days were not easy for me. Waking up each day, knowing that I’m getting closer to June 2013, was difficult. Deep in my heart, I believed that there is hope. I convinced myself that I will get a second chance in law school to make things right. I prayed to God that he may grant the ultimate desire of my heart. I told him that I’m doing it not only because my parents want me to be in law school but also because of my dream. The two semesters in my first year in law school taught me that being a lawyer is my ultimate dream. I promised myself that I will become a lawyer someday.
I guess miracles do happen because I just got in for the new school year in Ateneo. Yes, I’m retained. It was an answered prayer.
Now, I got my second chance and I swear, I will do whatever it takes not to blow it. I’m happy and I’m thankful.
If there is one thing that the situation taught me, it is to never stop believing. We cannot ask for the things we want if we, ourselves, are not convinced that we deserve it. God will never leave us in vain. To God be the Glory. To Mama Mary of Simala, I love you. Thank you. I am in a happy state. Thank you!
This article was written one week before my grades and “the list” were released. During those times, I felt like the world has turned its back on me but I kept my faith. I tried to overcome my fear of not being retained by writing a positive post. And yes, it worked. Just like that. The law of attraction. The law of love.
Miracles happen when you least expected it to happen. It will happen when you never give up and believe in yourself. I am glad that it happened to you 🙂
true sis! never stop believing! i am always negative all my life and one friend told that this time its my time to shine and i did it for some reason. be positive.
Congratulations, Algene! Your positive spirit, hope, faith, and hardwork will for sure carry you through all the tough times! You are blessed to have very loving and supportive parents!
Congratulations! I am sure that your parents are very proud of you!
Congratulations Alg! 🙂 I can feel you. There are really times when we are full of doubt, that we expect the worst things that could happen only to make ourselves sort of ready. But by keeping the faith and believing everything will turn out fine, it's what makes us face each day with hope and positivity.
The law of love never fails. When we work hard for what we want I too believe someone Above never fails us. In my heart I know you will become a brilliant lawyer with a huge heart. God bless your dreams and keep the faith. :)..oh and yes, CONGRATULATIONS! 🙂
Congrats Algene, Yes miracles happen but I believe you really tried hard to achieve your goal. Soon, you'll be a lawyer.
What did you do (or where did you resort to) when you left Ateneo? Aren't there other good law schools in Davao?
If you read my post, you will find out that I never left Ateneo 🙂
Congratulations! There is no question that you will be a lawyer if you really want it. Good luck for this school year.
Congrats and I'm sure you're gonna be a lawyer someday with a passion and desire like that.
Congratulations on making it on the first year even if you had some doubts about your grade 🙂 Good luck and God bless in the next years to come 🙂
GOD always hear our prayers. HE may not give us everything we want in life but HE will definitely bless us with what we need… You need to achieve your dream and now you are blessed with the chance to pursue it.
Revisiting to ask a hypothetical question.What if, miracle Do Not happens? What will be man's way to achieve the impossible?
Just keep on praying…not only you believe…but act on it!
And no objection to that Atty. Algene!
I commend your strengths and for not giving up. Pursuing a dream may not be an easy thing. But persevering and hoping for the best is a good approach, especially when your dream is on the line. So glad that you got into your next term in law school. You'll surely do better this time around. 🙂
I believe in the law of attraction. Yes, do keep the positive vibes coming and definitely everything will come in place. Goodluck on your endeavors. Soon you will be a lawyer!
It's not a miracle. You earned it. 😉
Keep moving forward. You can do it, CoffeeChic! 😀
Congratulations! They deemed you worth of another chance so you better take real good care of it 😉
