Without giving it many thoughts, I have tried everything since joining CariNavi. I have accompanied tha intervier with a school counselor, organized one of monthly Civitan Clubmeeting(Nov. 2001) and was a responsible reporter for that meeting. I have participated in designing the cover page of the PR magazines and tried to create catch phrases for them.
Through these activities, I have listened to numerous stories that could influence my life style in the later years and I was able to make hands-on experiences.I have, now, desires to propose my original plan and, I am in process of making such proposal.
Planning something that I wanted to try and transforming such plans into actions by teaming up with other members and taking advantages of environments that CariNavi offers will sure to help and provide me the nourishments for social growth as a person.

What is the single biggest chage I felt within me since joining CariNavi is learning to cherish what I like the best. Throughout years in Elementary School, Junior and Senior High Schools, and now as a University student, what I always had in the back of my minds were that so long as I studied and took lessons, everything was all right. I have become aware that such passive attitudes may only result in passive life style.
Since joining CariNavi, I have learned not to live the way it had already been planned for me but I have learned the importance of finding what is the best in me by myself and make further improvements on it. I will continue to work and try harder.

I am among many young persons who had no vision and no idea on what to do in the future. Growing up in the pre-decided environments, I have always felt the things happenings in the actual world were remote and I have nothing to do with them and, as such, I have been unable to plan my own future.
I realized I was still waiting for something even after joining CariNavi. Although inspired by great stories from Navigators and learned a lot from their experiences, emotionally moved by some, those great stories were just great stories or they were interesting and no more. I became aware that I have neglected to become useful not only to peers of similar age groups but also to myself.
CariNavi offers opportunities to everyone who wishes to further his potentials. It is strictly up to the individual how he takes such opportunities. I like to make my contributions to young people through writing articles that may be useful to them. And, for me, I will try to become more independent.
