I found love in YOU.

People find love in different in many ways, through things, through other people, and through what they do. I can say that I also find love in those things, but I found the greatest love.

For more than a year, I have been already living away from home and I can only count the days where I can wake up seeing the faces of my family and go to sleep at night saying “Good night” to them.

For more than a year, I have been already getting through my life with my friends who stand as my second family here, in the place which I call as my “2nd home”. I eat with them, find strength from them, and laugh and have fun with them.

For more than a year, I have been already been so in loved with all the things that I do independently. I decide by my own, I buy things by my own, I am responsible for my ownself. Being independent is what I really loved to do when I know I can.

But for more than a year, I sometimes think that I am slowly losing love. Love that I know, every person on earth wants, every person on earth searches for, and every person needs in order to survive.

But before I totally become so hopeless of finding love again from losing it, a great MAN made me feel so in loved with him in every minute of my life. He never leave me behind even when troubles come along. He always made me cry, cry of wanting to feel his touch, cry of gratitude for him for coming into my life. Since I was a little child, I just knew that there is only one man in my life, and that is my father.

But as I get older and older each day, a very blessed day came and I met the man of my dreams, the man who made me feel the greatest love that I wanted to have, that I needed the most and that I really searched for.

I just found love and...

I found it in YOU...

JESUS.

Leaders are not born with the greatest power.

Many leaders of today are said to be born. Many leaders of today are said to be the most powerful. Many leaders of today are said to take all the jurisdiction. But are these all what many leaders should said to be?

Since I was still in grade school, I am already into different activities that uncovers the leadership skill that I have. Stepping into High School, I have undergone into various exposures, significant seminars and trainings that strengthen and enriched my capabilities. And now while having my stand here in college, all that I went through when still a little child until now was what all that I’ve got to work, play, live and exist as a leader, not just to other people but into dominion of my ownself.

Recently, I have been affiliated to particular clubs having significant in Ateneo, that not only to test my learning and experiences but also to evaluate myself. This challenges me a lot since I know that elementary and high school environment is very different with college.

Thus because of this transition and challenge that I got, I’ve came to think that having leadership is different from having power. And true and good leaders are not born with the greatest power.

Leadership is a process wherein you get into control of your members’ behaviors directing them to achieve the goal of the group while Power is a then the need of controlling other people without even taking into consideration their needs especially in achieving goals.

A good leader is taking into mind the need of others than his own need. A good leader expresses his ideas based on the members and not to his own interest and benefit.
