bittersweet authenticity of a callow

Bittersweet Authenticity of a Callow

I’m Abby Ramos. LDS. 19 years old. Senior. BS Biology Major in Cell Biology in UP Mindanao. I’m very determined to finish my studies on time: APRIL 2013. I wish to proceed to medicine at St. Luke's Medical Center College of Medicine, Quezon City, Philippines after graduating in UP. However, I would not pursue my dreams on becoming a doctor yet. I believe in the saying, “good things happen for those who are willing and have patience to wait.” Furthermore, I was inspired by my favourite scripture verse, 3Nephi 13:33 found in The Book of Mormon, I realized my goal to serve as a full-time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. I believe that greater blessings would come in serving as a full-time missionary. I would be very honoured to help in Heavenly Father’s plan to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of men. In two years time when I turn 21, I would be on the mission field, hoping to teach, to inspire and to help people to “Come unto Christ.”
I am very blessed with a diligent character towards my studies. This became my weapon against my struggles and persistence in achieving my academic goals in UP. Coupled with my strong faith in Heavenly Father and my diligence in obeying in His commandments, most especially, the word of wisdom and maintaining a 100% attendance in my Institute class, I am proud that I am a regular BS Biology student, one of the creams of the crop that is hoping upon the completion of the remaining requirements, would graduate on time. Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said on the 182nd General Conference: “By His grace, He will do for you what you cannot do.” I believe that although I am callow to many things and not relatively intelligent compared to my classmates, there has been always a divine intervention, great blessings that came from Heavenly Father that had placed me to where I am today.
I started this tumblr account last year to have some place to hide where I can freely express myself, my thoughts and emotions without being judged by the people I know. I struggled expressing these things, and I find blogging as a safe refuge that would help me in my difficulties. But, I have a new perspective now. I don’t tend to hide anymore. I want to arise and shine forth and be a good example to my followers. Sure, I still would not deny the fact that I am still sensitive and emotional but I have learned to control and pacify myself of negative emotions with the help of my knowledge of the gospel and my obedience to the counsels of the prophets, seers, and revelators of the church. The best counsel that I have received was from Elder Richard G. Scott of the First Quorum of the Seventy during the 182nd General Conference. He said, “Yielding to emotions can drive away the Spirit.”
Although at times I am sensitive and emotional, I have a bubbly personality. I have real friends from church, at school and in home. I love my friends and I treasure them. I share my standards with them and I am glad for the good influence I have for them. There are a lot of things about me that you are yet to know if we became friends.
My family is not perfect. It is nearly broken, or was broken already. I, myself am confused. Anyhow, I still love each of the members of my family. However, if we could not work keeping our family intact, I still have hoped to have a wonderful family on my own in the future. I will nurture it and will not suffer that it will be broken. And I will make sure that we are sealed through time and eternity. My ultimate goal in life is to be married in the temple someday and to endure to the end.

I couldn’t be more proud of my best friend here: KIMBERLY ANN NAMUAG (right). She has already finished her personal progress and will receive her young womanhood recognition awards: the medallion and a certificate, tomorrow!
I love her so much! She is an exemplar, a guardian of virtue, a loving sister, an obedient daughter to her parents, a diligent student, a good friend of mine and a virtuous and lovely daughter of our Heavenly Father :)

Forgive - The past is the past. It can’t be altered. We can remember our misfortunes yet what good would that do. Move on. Move forward. Do not hold grudges. Persistent resentment of another uses the very same energy you could be using to love. To persist in resenting…
