My life on sheets

I wrote a three-page speech, and by far, in my opinion, is the best speech I have ever written for just a measly one hour of my stolen time. Ironically, it's a speech I made for somebody else to deliver.

For as long as I can remember, it has been  in my bucketlist to deliver a speech that can move my audience. Just when I didn't expect it, a dear friend accomplished it for me.

When she delivered the speech, I felt like I was the one talking, in which every lines she uttered is also a discreet story of my life.

EXCERPT: 
I am proud to say that I made mistakes; that I made stupid decisions; that I hurt many people; that I am not perfect…. But despite all that, I am PROUDER to say, that I am willing to change, and that I HAVE changed.

My desire for being a better person everyday I offer to one person who served as my anchor, my source of strength and my inspiration. She is my mother. Now, if you ask me what my purpose in life is, it is to do whatever it is that will make her happy.  I love you ma, and thank you very much for your unconditional love.

Concludingly, I am speaking here to testify not about my passing of the board exam for teachers. 
I am speaking here to talk about dreams. About life. About God.
I am here to testify that dreams do happen even the most impossible of all.
I am here to testify that life is all about trying.
I am here to testify that God is real; that He knows the desires of your heart; that He will never forsake you; and that God has a plan for you.

I do not take credit of whatever I have achieved. I am just an instrument of God’s love made possible through the persons around me who helped me achieve what I am now.
