Gusto Kong Maging Seaman

Watching "Ako ang Simula" sa channel 2.  They are featuring a school in Alcala Pangasinan (South Central School).  This school does not have a computer lab like the schools here that we know.  They have ONE, yes ONE PC for all their students. Pentium 1 at that.

Guess what.. They have been winning computer competitions, as reported on the show.

So the show gives out new computers and a laptop to the school.  But the thing that caught my attention was the top student of the school.  When asked by the host what he is planning to become or what  his dream was.

The boy answered, "Gusto kong maging Seaman."

Karen Davila: "Ano naman ang plano mong gawin or ano ang plano mong trabaho sa pagiging seaman?"

Boy: "tagahugas po ng pinggan".

Not realizing his potential or what he could reach the host, teary eyed, hugged him and explained that he can reach a much higher goal than washing dishes.

This boy has been winning computer competitions for his school with the use of a single outdated computer. 

Full of humility and simplicity.  "Kid ikaw and simula"..
