Worth deserving as a C.A.T Officer

Everyday brings new chances to grow, new beauty to see and goals to pursue. Every new day is a step towards my dream. Yes, I’ve met my expectations in C.A.T training the well-disciplined commanders and trainees, the hot weather, the very tiring exercises, the unexpected activities just like when we had our rotating meal and dog style meal during lunch and also the fruitful learnings.

I learned how to cooperate with my co-neophytes, I learned to work not just for myself but for the community and to unite with different kind of people, I learned to follow every instructions they are giving and the most special thing I learned from this training is the importance of responsibility. Most of us don’t want nor like the “bad” or down times in life, but there are the times that make me think and grow the most. What I don’t want is precisely what I need to make myself better.

I am worthy to become C.A.T Officer because I have the capacity to be a good leader and I know that I am a responsible student. I pay respect for the one who is taking incharge of the command. Yes, I am worthy enough to join the C.A.T program because I am and I have patience in serving other people. And also I know how to make things in good but I’m not that too perfect.

As we all know nowadays our youth institution are engaged with different bad activities such as “gangsterism”. All I want to do right for that is to help in teaching my co-students on what is right and what is good for them. Through this, we could all be better persons in this community, simple as that.

Do you think you are better than you’re trainors? My answer is NO, because in this training we don’t compete for who’s gonna be the best, we work here as one troop and has unity.

Not all students are enthusiastic about having Citizenship Advancement Training even though they will have it only once very week. For me the C.A.T was yet unforgettable. The C.A.T Officers teaches us different lessons about enhancing the social responsibilities and commitment to the development of our community and also to develop our ability in disciplining ourselves. During our C.A.T training, it was somehow a burden, for instead of having some unfinished business. I and my co-neophytes need to fulfill a day of training. However each day is an exciting experience. Like, every morning and after lunch we had our very tiring 13 armed forces exercise, cleaning up the ground, the rotation meal and the dog style meal, the marching all over the covered court of the campus and also how would I forget those bloopers during discussions and in drills.

During the C.A.T training, I found myself in one of those terrible down-and-out, instead of thinking the “C.A.T training is terrible” I just said to myself “these times are opportunities I’ve been given to gain valuable experience that no formal education could ever give me like this.”
