finally.

it's the last week of the month--the ending of a month's plot and the beginning of a new chapter.

for the past weeks, i have been trapped in the cloud of confusion. the events were all going too fast! and from a simple student who wishes of nothing else but be--simple, i realized that there is more i could give to the world than just staying simple. however, though the desire for growth, change and maturity somehow manages to forge through thickets of self-doubt, i cannot help but find myself sometimes stuck questioning my capability and my readiness to the risk i am to take. this even led me to consider bailing out despite letting people, who believe in me, down.

i may want a simpler life. but to disappoint people, though it's the easiest way out, would be death for me. and then it struck me, the only assurance that i or anyone else have made a difference in the world is when we have done something that made the world leap in surprise!

how would i urge them to leap, if all i would do is just stand?

and so this week, i end my contemplations..

i am anthonette malaluan of BS Public Health Batch 2007-2011, running for VP Externals.

and i will prove that there is more to me, my batch and my college than what meets the eye.
we will leap and the world shall follow.
