Post from GYL VP Mikka Ella Japon Rolon
Minsan, sa dami ng ginagawa natin bilang volunteer, mapapatanong ka rin talaga sa sarili mo—“𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗸𝗼 𝗽𝗮 𝗯𝗮?”

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀, 𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗱.
Nakakapagod ang sleepless nights.
Nakakapagod ang mahahabang biyahe at paulit-ulit na paglalakbay.
Nakakapagod ang sunod-sunod na events, meetings, preparations, revisions, and last-minute changes.
May mga araw na physically and mentally drained ka na, pero kailangan mo pa ring bumangon, ngumiti, maging present, at sabihin sa sarili mong—
“𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗽𝗮. 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻.”
But in the middle of all the exhaustion, I learned something beautiful:
𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘆 𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮. 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗸𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻, 𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗮, 𝗼 𝗻𝗮-𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲.
Kapag nakita mong may kabataang unti-unting nagkaroon ng confidence dahil sa isang activity na minsan, ilang gabi rin ninyong pinaghandaan.
Kapag may taong ngumingiti nang buong puso dahil sa isang experience na, kahit sandali lamang, ay naging magandang alaala na maaari nilang dalhin habang buhay.
Kapag may isang kabataang, sa gitna ng lahat ng doubts at fears niya, ay muling naniwala sa sarili dahil naramdaman niyang may mga taong handang makinig, umunawa, at magsabi sa kanya—
"𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝗺𝗶 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗼"
Kapag may isang pusong napasigla, isang kabataang nabigyan ng inspirasyon, isang pangarap na muling nagkaroon ng pag-asa, at isang taong, sa halip na sumuko, ay piniling bumangon at magpatuloy—
𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗱, 𝗽𝘂𝘆𝗮𝘁, 𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗵𝗲, 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗯𝗮 𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻.
Dahil minsan, 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗼.
Minsan, 𝗺𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗼—𝗸𝗮𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗶, 𝗸𝗮𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗸𝗹𝗶, 𝗸𝗮𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗶.
And if our service becomes the reason why even 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆—
𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙩,
𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙩,
𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜.
And through every journey, one thing remains constant:
𝗚𝗼𝗱.
Sa bawat pagkakataong akala ko hindi ko na kaya, 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵.
Sa bawat araw na sobrang bigat na ng katawan at isip, 𝗛𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Sa bawat long travel, sleepless night, unexpected challenge, at moment na parang gusto ko nang sumuko, 𝗛𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.
\I may not always understand why the journey has to be this tiring, but I trust that 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗛𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀.
Kaya higit sa lahat, 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁, 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱.🙏🏻

GYL has taught me that leadership is not always about being in front.
Sometimes, leadership is quietly working behind the scenes—staying awake while everyone else is sleeping, traveling miles just to serve, carrying responsibilities nobody sees, and choosing to show up even when you're already tired.
And maybe, that's what makes service beautiful.

You may forget the sleepless nights.
You may forget how tiring the journey was.
You may forget how many times you had to adjust and start over.
But you will never forget the moment when you realized that 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻, 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱.
This July and August, once again reminded me that the life of a volunteer is not measured by how easy the journey is, but by𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆.
Here are some of the journeys, commitments, and memories that made these past two months meaningful:

And behind every activity are people who chose to serve.
To my fellow 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗮-𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀, thank you.
Salamat sa bawat “𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗽𝗮,” sa bawat late-night preparation, sa bawat long ride, sa bawat pagod na tinawanan na lang natin, sa bawat problemang sabay-sabay nating hinarap, at sa bawat pagkakataong pinili nating magpatuloy kahit gusto na nating magpahinga.
𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗴-𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮.
We may not always receive recognition.
We may not always hear “𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂.”
And sometimes, people may never know how much effort was put into making an event happen.
But if even one young person walks away feeling inspired…
If even one person discovers their courage…
If even one dream becomes a little bigger because of what we did…
𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.
Because at the end of the day, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.
We are creating experiences.
We are building confidence.
We are creating memories.
We are giving hope.
And most importantly, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
And for every opportunity to serve, I will always be grateful to God for allowing me to be part of something bigger than myself.

This is more than volunteering.
This is our way of saying: “𝙉𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙖𝙢𝙞. 𝙉𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙠𝙖𝙢𝙞 𝙨𝙖 𝙞𝙣𝙮𝙤. 𝘼𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙖-𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙥 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙪𝙠𝙖𝙨.”🤍
Another two months of service.
Another chapter of growth.
Another collection of memories.
Another reminder of God's faithfulness.

And as long as there are young hearts to inspire and communities to serve—
𝗚𝗬𝗟 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽. 🌱
