Moments: Hey! I'm an Applicant

Did it ever came to your mind of becoming a social worker? Donating things which can, in some way, provide what people need like clothing, school supplies for the kids, foods, medical missions and more? Yeah, I bet you did, especially when you're still that kid with the innocent and pure heart? hmm?

Back when I was young, ughh.. a little bit younger, I had thought of becoming a social worker, sort of, I don't know how I came up with such idea but maybe because, as a child, seeing those street children with their old ripped out clothes and their tiny little bodies which grew accustomed to the burning heat of daylight and to the cold nights as they lay themselves on that ice-cold pavement that we occasionally walk through, you just can't help but feel sorry for them. That as their pitiful, begging eyes stare on that food you were holding while spreading their hands; giving then the food seemed to be the right thing to do. Even when you were a child, however, you know all too well that these were not obviously enough, and in that instant, you'd say "What I can do for now may just be so little to accommodate everyone of you but one day, I'll make sure, I'll be coming back armed with enough things to help you guys out." [hmmmm... typical childish thoughts ey? Nah... you're wrong, when I said those line, I was dead serious!]

Such thoughts remained as a thought until my best friend Farrah, invited me to join ICJEC - Iligan City Junior Eagles Club, an organization which aims to provide the needy with services they can offer, such as, feeding program, outreach program, medical missions, and a whole lot more!! I was so happy and got very excited to hear the news but the moment she added that, this is no ordinary organization and is actually a fraternity... well, I started doubting, not only will it make my parents upset but of course, I, as an innocent young lady [char! assuming..] with a very very tiny body almost fragile enough to take any form of hazing!?? will this move be reasonable? Hell no!! BUT, my best friend assured me that this organization we were about to join, completely discourages any form of brutality, so as her friend.. yeah, I trusted her word and proved that she wasn't bluffing or anything..

July 23, 2011, along with James Sunogan, Miguel Rico Medilo, Janh Dacua, Mae Florence Separa and my best friend, Farrah Marie Separa, we officially applied for a membership and under ICJEC President Jhay Ruben Gagara, we started our first clean up drive activity at Children's Park.
