For two weeks, I have been interviewing
applicants for our Junior Officer Training Program in BMS and one of our
questions is “If you were to do one thing that would make an impact, what would
it be?” The most recurrent answer is to simply
give back to society, help the environment, and/or be of service to the less
fortunate ones. Honestly, I am extremely
happy upon hearing these answers from numerous applicants because I believe
that it is important to be service oriented or mainly put others above one’s
self. If I was asked the same question,
I would most probably answer it the same way.
However, I will be more particular with my answer and say that I want to
make an impact by sharing what I have to the Filipinos who do not have shelter
and proper hygiene. I have to admit that
I have a weak spot for street children, homeless people, and individuals making
a living by selling in the streets. Thus,
our service learning project is connected to this population.
My main point is that I am pleased to hear
that I am not the only one who feels like there is a need to help our country
(society). At least, our generation is
now starting to be more conscious about the environment and their self. This is
a good sign for our country because today’s generation will be our future. In five to ten years, they will be able to
gain top managerial positions in the future and so, they will be the ones to
implement CSR activities in their companies.
Our small deed as a student actually makes a big deal in building one’s
career since being successful relates to the one’s fulfillment.
