It was something that I am looking forward since the fourth grade. Many of my classmates are always telling stories about their experiences in different resorts, and I am envious with them. They told me it would add my knowledge in leadership development. I thought that it will be a memorable event for me, even though it costed me a sum of 3,500 pesos.

I had to decide properly. Then, I realized something. I could video call my father far in the ship. I realized that he could grant me to join this event. Even though my mom is mad, my father allowed me and gave me the money right away. It was truly memorable yet I lost my borrowed slacks in the resort which costed 500 pesos. Because of skype, I persuaded my father to join the leadership seminar in Rizal.

Also, the typhoon left a significant damage so we are thankful for the cancellation.
