Maybe I should thank God that my college days
are still as peaceful as ever. I haven’t encountered any bullying of some sort ever
since I started college – not that I know of. But that doesn’t mean that I didn’t
get to be bullied. There was this time during my second year of high school
when I heard two of my “supposed friend” talking behind me (like literally
behind me) and saying “Maganda ba yan? Saan banda?”. I was like, “where did
that even came from?”. So, I didn’t let that get to me, and I did what every
educated woman would do, I ignored them. I was hurt, yes. Did it affect my
self-esteem? Of course.
That’s why this 2016, April becomes
the brightest month for girls who will stand up to outshine negativity. It’s the chance
for girls to prove how powerful they can be, and how empowering they can become—
that they can be - #BrighterTogether.
SkinWhite
is proud to introduce its chosen advocates for U Spark 2016 who are all active
in spreading positivity not only in their schools, but also in everyday life.
They are Martina Reyes, Sabine Dualan, Bea Alcañeses, Crisselle Asuncion, Allysza Marasigan and
Klaire Ellise Dulay.
Martina believes in the power of
kindness. Sabine sees the value of individuality. Bea is active in promoting
the welfare of Filipino children. Criselle is a youth leader who believes that
everyone should be given enough chance to nurture his or her talents. Allysza
believes in her heart that nothing is impossible in this world. Klaire’s cheerful
and shiny disposition is so contagious that she spreads positivity and inspires
lives. With each of the girls showing
their own display of a beautiful heart inclined to inspire others, the six U
Spark advocates were chosen to help spread goodness and kindness around the
campus.
It’s time we
let girls graduate from negativity and shine bright with beautiful, brighter
possibilities with SkinWhite, U Spark Advocates and you!
Let me end this post with my favorite
quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
