Activity No. 2


Getting To Know About The Movie:

Aya Kito writes a diary, a true story based on her own life, was originally written in first person. It is about a girl coping with her teenage life along with a degenerative disease. She keeps a diary of not only what she does but how she feels and the hardships she must endure. Initially, the diary's purpose was for Kitō to chronicle impressions she had about how the disease was affecting her daily life. As the disease progressed, however, the diary became Kitō's outlet for describing the intense personal struggles she underwent in coping, adapting, and ultimately trying to survive her disease. As she notes in one entry, "I write because writing is evidence that I am still alive."



My Comments:

I love the man that can smile in trouble,that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection."Ti's the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
I was so grateful to see such determination for a young girl to continue fighting in order to live even though at the start she already knew that her disease has no cure, and soon she will die. Facing this kinda' problem will need such braveness and great fighting spirit. I realized that the most important thing to enjoy life was to make everyone around you happy.
I do hope people in this world will be just like her. Strong, brave and full of determination. Confident enough to stand up when falling in despair. Don't let any problems stand on our ways. In fact, let's take this as a challenge and face it with all our might, because in every sacrifices, victories will soon to follow. Let's just always remember 'problems have always a solution and every life has an end. Just don't easily give up, and always pray to the Almighty Father.
"Only those who are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same adventure."
-THEODORE ROOSEVELT-

My Mission in Life

God knows how much I love my family. Even though this world is so unfair, still God was always there. My father was suffering from a very dangerous disease. I was in first year high school, when my mother told me about his condition she was crying that time and I felt the same way. Every night I hear him groaned because of pain. I always asked God to let him live longer. Even my mother was suffering because she had heart problem and hypertension . After that, I realize and I was so determine to study medicine. I don’t care if it will take me 10 years to finish my study. I just keep in my mind that this is for my parents and family. I love them more than I love myself. I only I could give my life to them, I would definitely give it to them. I don’t know I’m going do if God will take my parents away from me, knowing that they are not coming back. I have to finish my study first in order to make them happy because their happiness is my most treasured happiness of all. I always keep in mind my motto “ True courage is pursuing your dreams even when everyone else says its impossible.

Sharing your blessings to others is one of my plan and my mission in life. I love to be a doctor because I also want to help people who are sick and can’t afford to pay the bills in the hospital. After helping my family I would volunteer myself to the national Red Cross especially people in Africa. For we all know that people in Africa suffer starvation causing them to be thin and sickly. I am devoted to help the society to have a brighter and better future. Blessings are meant to be shared and not to be kept all by your self.
