Embracing the Ripple: How Change Begins Within

 "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

- Mahatma Gandhi




I deeply resonate with the idea that "change starts with me" and believe it to be a profound insight. It reminds me that I have the power to be the catalyst for change in my own life and the world around me. By taking ownership of my thoughts, behaviors, and actions, I can actively contribute to positive transformations. I understand that change is not just a societal or systemic issue; it begins at an individual level and requires introspection and personal growth. In my view, "change starts with me" means recognizing that I am an integral part of the larger fabric of society. I acknowledge that my attitudes, prejudices, and actions can impact others, whether positively or negatively. Therefore, I strive to be mindful of my words and behavior, treating others with empathy, compassion, and fairness. By leading by example, I hope to inspire those around me to question their own beliefs and behaviors and actively participate in creating a better world. Furthermore, I believe that "change starts with me" is an ongoing journey rather than a one-time endeavor. It requires constant self-reflection, learning, and adaptation. I am committed to regularly examining my own biases, unlearning harmful patterns, and challenging the status quo. I understand that change may not always be comfortable or easy, but I am willing to embrace the discomfort and push myself to grow. By continually striving to be a better version of myself, I aim to contribute to a more inclusive, equitable, and harmonious society for everyone.

My mother is all that gives me life

"When someone asks you where you come from, the answer s your mother"

-Anna Quindlen

 Mother's Day is an important occasion to show appreciation and gratitude towards our mothers, and although it can be difficult to celebrate the day when mom is working abroad, there are still ways to make her feel special and loved. One way to celebrate this special day when mom is working abroad is to surprise her with a video call. Having a video call with her on Mother's Day will make her feel loved and appreciated, as she will be able to see her family together, even if it's through a screen. It is also a good idea to prepare some special messages or a card to read to her during the call, expressing our love and appreciation for everything she does for our family.


Another way to celebrate Mother's Day is to create a care package and send it to her. This care package can be filled with her favourite snacks and treats, notes, and small special gifts from her children. It is a good idea to personalize the package with her favorite photos or something that reminds her of home. This package will show her that even though she's far away, she's still missed and loved very much. Moreover, many social sites and apps can facilitate the online purchasing and delivery of custom care packages, especially during times of social distancing.


Finally, we can also celebrate Mother's Day with our mom by planning a future get-together. Our mom can plan to come back home during the next Mother's Day, providing that it is possible under the circumstances. On that day, we can organize a family picnic or go out to a special dinner to celebrate together. This way, we can make up for the missed Mother's Day and make her feel even more loved and appreciated. Planning such an event in advance can also help her feel more connected with our daily lives and will give her something to look forward to. Therefore, these are some of the ways we can celebrate Mother's Day with our mom working abroad. Though the distance is far and the time zones may differ, the love for our mother is eternal, and it's important to show her how much we appreciate everything she does – not just on Mother's Day, but every single day.

The nation's labor force is its greatest asset.

"It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."

-Babe Ruth

In the Philippines, as well as other countries throughout the world, Labor Day is a frequently observed holiday. It is a day set aside to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of workers from various industries. In the US, it is observed yearly on the first Monday in September, while it occurs on May 1st in the Philippines. It has special meaning for Filipinos since it serves as a reminder of the battles waged and the sacrifices made by laborers over the years.

As a high school student, I believe that Labor Day is significant because it gives us the opportunity to appreciate and acknowledge the importance of the labor force in our lives. Without workers, essential services such as healthcare, sanitation, transportation, and education would not be provided. The holiday also recognizes the historical struggles of workers for better wages, safer working conditions, and workers' rights in general. This fought from the Philippine revolution all the way to contemporary times were workers also fight online misinformation, discrimination and human trafficking in several forms of labor.

Furthermore, Labor Day also raises awareness about current issues in the labor force, such as unemployment, underemployment, and unfair working conditions. As the pandemic continues to impact global economies, many Filipino workers are facing job losses and income reduction. The holiday serves to remind us of the need to support workers' rights, especially in these challenging times. It is an opportunity to advocate for policies and initiatives that promote fair labor practices and protect the welfare of all workers, including the marginalized and vulnerable sectors.

In conclusion, Labor Day is a holiday that holds great significance for Filipinos. It serves as a reminder of the vital contributions made by the labor force and the historical struggles fought for their rights. As a high school student, I believe that it is essential to acknowledge the importance of workers and advocate for fair labor practices. In doing so, we can ensure that every worker is treated with dignity and respect and that their contributions are recognized and appreciated.
