The story of norman cosme king is really inspirational and motivational through  a lot of his obstacle and sacrifices in life the same with us, but it was  too much on his part .

Imagine he conquer the crowded place or city to study and to find  a job without minding all of the judgement and discrimination just to pursue  his dreams in life and to make his parent and tribe proud.

No wonder norman king are full of determination and goals in life, norman king bring us courage and motivation  to us and waiving their  own flag of dignity, success and pride to his tribe and community.

I always believe in this saying “Don’t  judge the book by its cover “ because no one has the right to do that. They need us too , they need us to encourage them and wanted  us to recognized what they have , and what they are  capable of doing  with.

They only wanted to get acceptance from the society And no one from us has the right to claim their lives. At the end we are all the same.

If we can do it , then there is no impossible way that they can do it too. 

They can bring their feet to crowded place far from where they come from.

 Just like norman king  he can bring his self and study in a big school.

And most he can bring his self into a peak of succes.

Studying in UP  manila was not in the plans until a patron offered to help his family. It is in one of these gatherings that someone expressed their desire to help, and what roman wished for was his son to go to University of the Philippines (UP).

Norman fulfilled his father’s dreams, and graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Behavioral Science.
