“Blazing New Trails to Success”

When I look up in the sky at night and I see the stars, I think about the mystery… “How did they get up there?” Did they climbed the highest mountain or swam the deepest sea just to look right back at me? Or Maybe did they walked the longest pathway or ran to the brightest light just to shine so brightly at night. I say this to say even the stars in the sky has steps toward success. Invited guest, ladies & gentlemen, judges and my fellow achievers good Evening . Chasing college for your success is what we are program to believe is the path toward success, through life and school. But if we use our own determination, dedication and commitment we are blazing our own trails to success. In my life I’ve struggled towards my success but I’ve always remembered that in order to become successful I would have to encounter three things
1. Determination.
1. Dedication
1. Commitment. Being determined is having a mind set to do something. Say for instance A girl now in the eleventh grade was failing biology from the eighth grade and when she went in the tenth grade she was fed up with the low grades and wanted to make a change. She then worked hard and was determined to pass this bio class.
To be dedicated is to put your heart, your mind and your soul into it. The same girl she continued to work hard. She was dedicated to her studies. She asked her siblings to help her with upcoming quizzes. She stayed back and asked the teacher questions when she didn’t understand. She already had a mind set to pass this class and she was putting her all into it as well.
Commitment is a promise or entrustment. So back to the story about the young girl. She was very committed! Her teacher told her that she would have to come in both lunch and break time so she could help her fully understand. That girl came in every break and lunch time. She was never late and never missed a class. So therefore she had a mindset to pass

    Gladwell describes how when opportunity presents itself you should seize it. After doing so you shouldn’t take it easy because you’ve grasped it but you should work ten times harder and put the hours in to master the objective. You have the chance and opportunity to do that time so why not take advantage of it? Beyond all this it takes a certain type of person to put in such commitment, its the person's upbringing that builds them to be this way. Gladwell specifically describes this theory but I won’t being getting into depth with it.…

    Having dedication to me is being a productive worker with incomparable effort. I believe that I possess this quality. I have learned from two hard working parents how to be a dependable, responsible person. There was a time that I had a solo concert for the performance center I go to. I was very ill and didn’t think I would be able to make it. With a few prompting words from my parents, and some strong cold medicine, I successfully performed a very difficult song in Italian. It went because I believed that it was my duty to go and perform. It would have been unfair to my vocal coach if I didn’t come, and made an excuse. No matter what, I strive to be committed to excellence and success, because I want to be an excellent and successful person.…

    My universal theme, which could be one of the most important, is commitment. Commitment is your devotion to something. If you are committed to something, then you will not stop doing that certain thing until it is accomplished. Commitment is obligation, it is passion, but it is also voluntary. Not everyone chooses to always be committed, but at some point in someone’s life, they are committed to something.…

    Commitment is something which engages one to do something, a continuing obligation especially financial it starts in the heart, tested by action and opens the door to achievement. It is also the state of intellectual and emotional adherence to some political, social, religious theory or action especially the conscious linking of works of literature and art with such theory of action; it is to serve others demonstrated by an act or acts of selfless service. Based on the CWTS module one’s commitment is the character of determination and loyalty found in every Mapúan. We are dedicated to achieve the highest quality of results in all our undertakings. We commit to act responsible by being accountable for our actions and by fulfilling our obligations. For me it is about engaging oneself and responsibility , here in Mapúa CWTS we are committed to serve others who are in need especially in urban areas in Manila and we are also called to commit ourselves in developing students-community development workers that shall serve as active partners of the institution, of the community and of the nation in implementation of different community development programs, projects and activities, contributory to nation-building and achievement of social transformation focusing on the national security, development and welfare we have to serve the local community through a project geared towards the development of the barangay where the class will implement the project .
