"Fellowship"

Fellowship… first way before anyway.


What is the best character should I have to show to the world? Did I really apply my entire teacher’s teaching about enhancing my character to be a good someone to everyone?

My teacher taught me different kinds of qualities to be a good person. From Nursery until now, but there were too many of it and probably I, sometimes missed to do those. From there, I was begun to confuse myself on which would be the best character that I should do first so that I may learn all the teachings my teacher shared.

Being so confused, I initiated a little way by collecting some information from my fellow students regarding the characteristics taught by their teachers and I also ask them, what would be the important characteristic should be the first way that which creates universal peace and healthier relationship among others?

The Xavier University, the venue of my little project. I surveyed twenty five students both from the first year and second year, and another twenty from the third year and fourth year level students. here are the top three on what they had told me:

• Be Respectful to others,
• Be Honest on everything we do, and
• Be Forgiving.

These perhaps helps students enriching their attitudes to be a good student and as a person. At least they have remembered their teacher’s teaching. But what matter is, how will they be able to perform it in their everyday lives? Being respectful to someone would never be complete when you do it just because you know they are older than you or somehow you know they are in the authority. Being respectful is by exhibiting respect to everyone, or manifesting veneration. Being honest will probably equal to good living, habitually speaking the truth. Be forgiving means to be gaining more friends and able to comfort yourself. All their answers were correct but there was this something in my mind that saying that there should be other than these ways, something in general. I am thinking on a very way that when we do it, it could do a change in both school environment and in ourselves to the others in the community. It is something can answer the question, “how to start creating universal peace and healthier relationship among others?”

Until it was Sunday, still I never skip thinking on what should be this idea reminded by my mind in form of questioning and recalling. “God is so Good”. As I was on my way to the Cathedral or the St. Augustine church, a group of people catches my attention. They were like a happy one family, happy friends and happy people. I saw people shaking hands with each other, a “beso-beso”, they sang a song cheerfully, and they’re welcome seems embracing each new and old member in delightful way. they probably know each member's name. I found out they were not actually relatives, and they’re church mates in one of the recognizable religion in the community. I know that God gave me the chance to find the answer by just observing them carefully with a heart. I was silently emotional that time that my tears were slowly falling down. I was very happy to what I have learned from them, knowing these people made me realized that the world has an enormous chance of changing, from a bad habituation into newly form good habit of making fellowship.

From that realization, I was able to figure out Fellowship as the first way to do that also answered the question I have been longing to.

People ought to use the term “fellowship” for a religion. I want to use the term fellowship as a moral formation, especially to all the young people and let fellowship form a spatial ability to everyone. It should also be meant that fellowship is not just being together with friends and to whom you already know but also being friendly and nice to each and every person inside and outside the school. I want to consider the word “fellowship” as a mission, mission that God wants us to do.

Let’s imagine doing a fellowship in the school, everyone will greet you, you will be able to know every person around you, everybody will be happy, everybody will be your friends, everyone will help each other, everyone will be respected and what is next? It will also influence others to be with it also. All rules will be followed where it give benefits and safety to each students or people. We know that making a difference is not as making it an instant as you want it to be but instead it should start within us, ourselves, slowly in the process and get everyone involved and start it with a heart and everybody will be doing it with a heart. Remember that God also want us to be one, happy and peaceful.

Once you have applied it and made it happened, there you will be able to know “leadership”, where he/she only cares about the good things and welfare of his/her member.

On a junction, it has been a part of my little comedy moment in making this story, when sometimes I thought of how people even successfully changed people’s eating habits or career paths often relied on any papers they read. As people who have never tried as astounded by enormous effect it often has. How much more if we think we can change people’s behavioral manner by the form of this suggestions I have casted? Does this possibly change us? I hope it will. I wish I can be a writer with a motivating action, as quick as my ball pen writes.

How I really like to convey my fellow youngster to observe this particular suggestion. To think, when going to school and inspired by the happy people we encounter and be inspired more to learn because there are people around us who are willingly be of help in times of our difficulties. Is it not a satisfying way to start an every life in school? Are these suggestions is what you expect and it is the same as mine?

Aiming well for everyone is not a relax thing to do. It is something like a scientific process. Step by step process, investigating, observing and so on. After which, that could be the time we will know more about the things we want to do for our fellowmen. “Being with everybody is better-off than being with someone you just know.”

Let us try to think sequentially and reflect. Let us try to imagine when others may have done this already especially to you and to your family. Now, don’t be surprised! You will never know when, the time I’ll be knocking in you, just don’t look at me like I am crazy man! See you fellow!
