Here's my ultimate dream...
When we speak of the "ultimate", we always mean the extreme aspect of anything. It is what stands above all. I have a lot of dreams I want to come true, for myself, and for my loved ones. Now if I were asked what is my ultimate dream, I would stop and ponder upon myself, which one of my dreams can be the ultimate. At the instant, I would normally say, "to be successful and contented on what I will become";. But that would be so general. Questions such as, "successful, for what?" and, "contented on what?" will consequently arise. And there I am, confused and bothered, not knowing what I really want. As always, I'm caught up in this mind-boggling mystery of myself, my ignorance on what I want to happen in my life. Thanks to this composition, I found some time to think about what I haven't thought about the whole of my life. Taking time to realize my ignorance and getting a hold of my thoughts and feelings, I now know what is the ultimate and most genuine of all my dreams. I want my parents to be proud of what I will become. I want to have a faithful and solid family of my own. I want my faith in God to be stronger than ever. Given these three aspirations of mine, I will feel successful and contented with my life. And that will be assured.

First, in wanting my parents to be proud of what I will be. Every person needs encouragement and inspiration to do good in their lives. In my case, I think I got more than enough encouragement and inspiration from both of my parents. Given all of my failures, my shortcomings, and lack of respect, both of them are still there for me. Headaches and heartaches are all that I have given them and nothing less. Realizing all these, I made it a point that I will make it up to them. No matter how long and how hard that task will be, I will do it. All they want is for me to be happy and grow more responsible of everything that I will have and everything that I will do. Not only will I be like that; I will also let them feel the love that they have given me the whole of my existence. Second, in wanting to have a faithful and solid family. I came from a broken family. I know what were the causes of having such a family. And it surely affects the total personality of each member. Thank God in our case, we have concerned relatives and friends who supported my sister and I to become more of what is expected from us. I will surely do my best to have a family full of values, surrounded by the ambiance of great love for each other. Third, in wanting to have a stronger faith in God, more than ever. I am a catholic. I have studied from four respected catholic schools since kindergarten. I know every moral teaching the Catholic Church has to offer. But still I have doubts in my faith. Questions often arise every time I do something wrong or even right. Restless I have become because of the load that is bothering me with my every move to become good. That’s why I long for that time in my life, where there are no more questions that will haunt me on my beliefs. I want my faith to be solid as a rock. Each and every day of my life has a struggle, with a constant urge to believe and trust God with all that I am. To reach that stage in my life will mark the completion of my ultimate dream come true...

We all have our call from God. If someone asks me what I think is His call for me, I'll just smile and say, Simple! It is to follow my dreams, reach my goal, and in the end, hold his hands and join him in paradise.
