I do not want to die. At an early age, I refuse to let this water of societal crisis drown
the life out of me. I am one of those youth that is sinking further and further in a society that
barely teaches us how to swim. Not so far away, I can see a hazy image of light. Above this
water that suffocates me, I can feel the hope for survival. I want to grasp that light. I want it to
shine vividly in the future.
The CESAFI aims to rescue us, the youth. It is an event that promotes solidarity among
schools to nurture us through academics and sports. It helps us find the intellectual and
physical edge that we need to break the hindrances of our development. It is here not to carry
us instantly out of the water of our sorrows but to teach us how to swim on our own so that we
can develop our strengths as the foundation of the future. It advocates on gearing us today to
become agents of change in this sick society and to build a future where there will be no more
waters of crisis to fall into.
With hope that we will survive, the reality of our predicaments is only a rough part of
our journey towards development. Our poor condition gives us an eye to not let this persist in
any way in the future. It intensifies the burning passion for change among us. It drives us out
our uncertainties for the future and washes away our fears for failure.
I hold the future in my hands. If I were to die today that shining light of hope will vanish
and will never again be found. Thus, with the aid of CESAFI I believe that I will rise from this
abyss of disastrous society where poverty is a bottomless pit and knowledge is constantly a
missing necessity. The future awaits me. I must survive. With a conviction fortified by the
support around me, I will live on.
