One Step at a Time

    July 24 10:45 PM, my friend from college texted telling me to listen to the radio, BOMBO RADIO because the DJ / announcer is enumerating the names of June 08 NLE Top 10 students. I thought it was just a prank or a joke again because in the past few days I’m always hearing dates on when the results will come out and I always end up disappointed. But then, It came to my mind that maybe this friend of mine is not joking at all, so I hurriedly opened the internet and typed the url of a website my friend gave me. To my surprise, the result of our examination was really there, so I downloaded it (pdf file).

     I told my sister to call mom because the result is already here, she hurriedly came while saying "te? ara na? abe lantawon ta!". As I scroll down the page I felt cold and my throat was dry, hehe. My mom said "O, ga palanugnaw na si Jingle o, hahaha! Abi ako nalang pa scrolla da." my sister being so excited said "sa letter D nalang bala daun ma." So she did, then she said "o… wala!" I felt the world crashing down on me … my sister said "padaluma bala ma, ara o! Dequiña, Cesary Jo!" We focused our eyes on the screen and looking at each other we suddenly hoorayed and hugged each other. hahaha! Dad suddenly came out of the room and joined us in our happiness.

    The feeling is very good. Passing the NLE is not a joke, it takes courage, will and determination. I know my friends will make it, every night I’m praying for it.

    The next step, is to apply for volunteer duty. Yes!

    GOD BLESS to us all and take care!
