THIS ESSAY WAS ONE OF MY PEACE EDUCATION SUBJECT’S ASSIGNMENTS. I GREATLY ENJOYED WRITING STUFFS LIKE THIS FOR MY PROFESSOR SINCE HE IS VERY LENIENT IN HIS TEACHING. HE WOULD ALWAYS SAY, “JUST PUT YOURSELF IN YOUR WRITING” OR”INCLUDE YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN YOUR ESSAY”. TO CHAZE SANCULI, I GIVE MY THANKS AS YOU OPENED GREAT IDEAS IN MY MIND, I MISS YOUR HUGS.
“You have to start believing. You are not a loser. You are bound to be the best, so live up to it.” –Hazel Sanculi, Former Editor of the Advocate.
This is what she told me when I attempted to quit in the organization I am dreaming of. From the time I realize what she wanted me to understand, I told to myself that things might be more complicated than what others is experiencing at this very moment.
I entered college so quickly that my high school aura is still in me. During high school, my classmates tells me that I’m the toughest person and I see things as a challenge – yet my weaknesses became visible when I made a commotion between different sections through my undisputed hand (with the use of a magical chalk) and mind. The consciousness I had was very frail.
So when I enrolled at this prestigious university, I was never happy with the environment I’m having during my first two years. Maybe, it’s because I still can’t figure out how to deal with this enormous surrounding.
It was the moment I qualified for the FEU Advocate. And it’s the same time I started knowing myself better. Who am I?
Mimi, Mort, Nervs, Nerva, Nini, Mine, Mini, Mumi, whatever people call me, I am me…just Minerva.
To my family, I am the studious and talkative ‘only’ daughter. To my high school friends, I am the ‘playful’ one. To my college friends, I am the ‘know-it-all’. To my classmates, I am the ‘nerd’. To my Advocate family, I am the ‘bully-mimi’, boss, power-tripper, writer, organizer and fun-to-be-with.
But I never relied the evolution of my personality from those perceptions. Once in a while, I give myself time to reflect, to weigh things and choose what matters most. This is vital for my self-development. Every person’s attitude is dynamic. It’s my way of knowing ‘Minerva’ better. No one knows the real me. Each person has their own secrets, and their own way of assessing one’s self.
I think it’s important that I know myself better than what other people do since I can analyze the situations I encounter. Back then, I believed that I am a quitter – the epitome of a loser. Now, I believe I that I am tough and confident enough to pursue my dream and continue the life through the life I want to live with forever. The real Minerva is always conceded.
