Most people think that success comes with a good education. That a man who wants to succeed, must finish college, and just finishing college isn't enough, you have to make sure  the school you're attending is well known, you have to make sure that the course you're taking is in demand. Because if you don't meet this requirements, you're just another normal human being slave to work, giving sweat & blood to a job that doesn't pay you any good. But the truth is, one who eagerly runs after money/material/position is the real slave, pouring out heart,soul & time to one thing that is not really of great importance once we leave this earth.

Success, as most of people think it is, is measured by how you dressed, how your home looks like, how much money you have in the bank,how much luxury you can afford, and how much news worthy things you've done in life. And no matter how hard we try to convince ourselves that success aren't these things we still find it hard to believe.

And as for me, i guess you can call me an out of school youth, because that's who i really am right now. But i wouldn't change a thing, because to me success is now close at hand. Because to me success is being able to do what you love, and being able to give to others. Although i still plan to attend school, i would have to say that i don't regret a thing the moment i decided to quit studying a business course, because it isn't the one for me. And when i left school i learned a lot of things i wouldn't learn if i were studying. But please don't get me wrong, it is right to study, it is right to finish college, nothing is wrong with these things. It's just that not everyone is meant to  study that certain course, or even not everyone is destined to go to school. I guess you can already get what i'm saying. And to me, im not meant to be at school at a particular season of my life, and that season is now.

The now season is an adventure i never thought i'd have, though i wasn't able to go places, i was able to do so many things , discovered new loves, and created new friends. I volunteered for the missionary ship Logos Hope, i got the chance to print some shirts for money, i learned how to skate with a long board, i've spent many afternoons at the beach by my self, i got involved in a new ministry and i started growing, both emotionally and spiritually. I can finally say that i am no longer a kid anymore, i have matured and it wouldn't have happened if i were in school surrounded by young boys & girls rushing to fall in love, drooling over One direction or Daniel padilla, craving for the latest fashion trends, and trying to be cool. Trust me, in due season i will deal with them when i go back to school. And again please do not get me wrong not every girl is crazy about 1direction or Daniel Padilla, not every boy is sporting a Justin bieber look, still there are some who does better than that.

Anyway, Success is now close at hand, for i am being continuously changed & shaped by my God. It is a thousand steps a way but while i'm walking i'm earning it, i'm learning it. I am thankful for i no longer depend on material things, i no longer view money or position as security. I am now secured and assured that i am placed in the palms of my God. The one who called me, and placed passions & talents inside of me. And in that perfect day , after all the sacrifices i've made, i'd realized it's nothing at all compared to the reward, the reward who is Jesus Christ.

You might think that im just another religious/Jesus freak, you can call me names if you want to, but that wouldn't change a thing.To me my success, my victory, my passion is in Christ Jesus.

And who knows, maybe i can be a youtube sensation and earn lots of money i wouldn't need to go to college? Who knows i might invent something more awesome than the latest smartphone? Or maybe i might just go find a part time job to support myself, and the things that i love, or maybe i can just do what i love to do, sing for Jesus, move for Jesus, and love people, then i'd be a successful out of school youth!
