How Inspiring
To those who’ve been reading my blog posts regularly, you might remember an article on public education from Boston.com which I posted
last June 30. Even a wealthy nation like the US apparently is burdened
with providing equal educational opportunities to its citizens. Imagine
my excitement when I saw a segment in ANC this morning about a Filipino
who started a movement in Boston to address this issue. The name of
this movement is called Emagine
which was founded by Oliver Sicat, a 27 year old Filipino-American
teacher with the purpose of helping lesser-privileged students reach
their dreams. A graduate of USC Rossier School of Education, he started
out a marathon in Boston to raise $20,000 dollars to buy laptops for 21
Emagine students headed for college. You may read more about him in the
internet.
Anyway, nagagalingan lang talaga ako sa kanya. At 27, He’s done quite a lot. He’s a Filipino making a difference in America.
Wow. I was just thinking, what can I do to make this huge impact on
other people? I hope he can come to the Philippines and help
underprivileged students here.
BTW, I also think he’s c-u-t-e. 
I guess there’s still a LOT that we can do. I wonder what I can do….
