Success! Success?

rarely do I see myself smile, look back, and say, it is all worth it.

what is success?

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

A new season comes to UAAP Ateneo. Ateneo will be hosting the UAAP this year. I feel nostalgic. 5 years ago, I joined a sport I didnt even know about. Two years later, I became a national champion. Four years later, I gave the Ateneo 3 championships and I was awarded athlete of the year.

Truly, hard work and perseverance pays. I love life.
