My greatest scar
When I was a student, I used to walk 1 kilometer from my house to my university everyday. I did this in order for me budget the 30 pesos allowance given by my parents. So basically I save 15 pesos everyday just by walking but I spend 30 minutes in traveling. One time, my friend offer me a bicycle for a low price. The bike was totally in good condition and because of the offer and the need to save time, I decided to bought it.
All was good for the first month. I save money as well as time. Until one rainy morning, along the busy street of Colon Cebu City, my bike slipped as I avoid a car in front of me. As I stand I thought everything was okay not until I notice my left arm was bent like it had an extra elbow. I was rush to the hospital and they immediately performed a surgery and put some stainless steel titanum on it. Yeah I'm a Titanum now. 😂
Instead of saving money we spend more than 60k for the surgery because of the one careless accident. The struggle continues because I can't used my left arm for 2 months and by the way I'm a left handed person. There are many challenges I faced at that time. I need to learned how to write using my right arm and its hard during a time limit exam 😅. I cannot carry heavy objects anymore including my lover (if I have). And I have to be careful always with my steel arm.
Here it is now. All back to normal. I can flex it, bent it and use it normally. Because of it, my chance to join the army is gone. But I know God has a better plan for me and it happens for a reason. The reason might be a lesson for me to learn or a better future future for me.
i salute you sir for your courage and determination that despite what had happened in the past, you still strived to aim for your goals and dreams. That mark definitely shows how resilient you are! And now that you are an army, I salute you even more! Keep pushing and reaching for your dreams!
