1. What mistakes did you make that taught you something?

• Mistake that I did in my work is having a white lie.

2. If someone asked, “ What kind of student are you?” How would you answer?

• I'm Responsible maybe sometimes I'm lazy but I always try my best to change this attitude. I'm honest, and Lastly have a respect to others, especially to my teachers.

3. What kind of student would you like to be?” List down three specific things you'll do to become the students you want to be.

• Having Confidence
• Smart
• "Just be yourself"

I admire you for your academic and values excellence because it shows that you have the character of a good student.

Allow me to remind you to always maintain respect towards your parents and teachers regardless of your achievements today and in the future, because they value you, not based on your competence alone, but also on your character. There is a thin line between arrogance and confidence, and this is where character becomes important. An achiever must add humility in his life so that he may know the difference between arrogance and confidence.

There is also another aspect wherein character is important to me personally. Character will define how we will respond to life’s successes, and failures. Nobody wants to fail but we should accept that it is a part of life. I would not probably be standing before you today if I had understood what it would take to succeed because I have no answer for it. But I am standing here because my success in the Bar Exams grew from my own set of failure. Simply put, success grows from failure.

So when failure comes your way, do not be discouraged, do not doubt yourself. Rather, use that failure, that doubt, and other negative emotions to motivate you because that, dear students, is character, which I believe is a key to success.
