Being differently abled is a challenge. I managed to take these
challenges in a higher perspective which include inspiring people.
Last February 16, 2016, at Hotel Essencia, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, I was invited by SPI Global to be an
inspirational speaker for their CRM APAC's Visayas Assembly, Managers' Kick Off Seminar.
I
was tasked to amplify the commitment of the managers in their work
output. I find it difficult but challenging. It was a talk show type in
which I was interviewed
by the host. Our conversation started well until I became emotional in
the middle of the interview. This was the part when I was asked about my
inspiration in pursuing my studies and dreams in life. I got emotional
because I recall the hardwork of my parents
and all those people who helped and believed in me along the way. I
told them my story and tears started falling from my eyes. As I glance
on the audience, I can also see their tears and some of them can't help
but cry. As I continued my story I was so happy
deep inside knowing that I've inspired them. I ended my story by
leaving a message to them and I said: "Our disability is not a hindrance
to our dreams, instead it is a challenge for us to be successful in
life." Then I received a standing ovation from them.
