Overall, the competition was being conquered  by Community Development of Baling. Attending this event had made me feel differently towards the people with disabilities. They able to let me see that, though this world might a lot of obstacles and such, but yet they able to go through it and able to adapt themselves in this cruel world with their own adaptability. Their strong will, and the eagerness to learn and perform, make me feel more energetic to strive more and better in where I am now. As if they also can such will and strength, why can I? Sometimes, these are the people we should be with as they showed us the miracle of hope in their own way.
