By Joannah Kaye B. Borallo Small.Young.Innocent.Incapable.Weak. These are words of how most of the people describe me especially now that I am taking the risky path of being a doctor. They believe that I would fail or that maybe, I can’t do anything with the course I am taking. However, I just laugh their thoughts off. This is because for me, I know I can do things and in fact as of now, I am starting to become a good doctor already by planning and doing things on how to promote civic consciousness and do my role in nation building. Know more about yourself and the people around you. This not only means getting information about me but also my family, the people around me, the nation and the whole world. This process is essential because how could I help when I don’t know anything? How would I know which solution should I suggest or impose when I don’t have the roots of the problem? It would just probably make things worse when I try to solve something without any know-how’s in that matter. That’s why as of now, I am watching news on TV, I am reading newspapers whenever there is one at home and I am using the Internet to gain more knowledge. Share what you have. Of course, when I know things it is but proper to share it with people around me. This is because if there are a lot of people who would know about things that matters them, then more people can help me with my cause. More people can then act towards the betterment of our country. Volunteer for organizational and community works. This is a common answer of every person when asked what he/she can do for his/her country. However, it is still one of the best ways of directly helping our country’s development and it is for the reason that when we do volunteer works, we are personally in contact with other fellow Filipinos while doing something to improve the state of our nation. When we are in contact with other Filipinos, we are united and thus we communicate our causes
