Vote For My Video Entry: HP You On You
My friend Gerardo from Alhambra, California, USA, informed me about another cool HP contest. This time the contest takes place in YouTube with the title "You On You" where entrants create videos featuring themselves in a creative way for one minute without exposing a face. I decided to join the contest because I strongly believe I have a good story that may motivate some people in the world. Here’s my entry and the full script:
Hi I’m John Raul and I’m a geek from the Philippines.
People say life is tougher here and they were right.Back in my childhood, I experienced selling fruits in the streets
and even massaged people’s feet to convince them to buy.My parents told me if you want something you gotta work using your mind and heart. And so I did, I focused hard on my education until it brought me somewhere.
Last year I acquired my first room and my first bed after sleeping on the floor since 21 years of my life.
Thanks to my HP Compaq laptop, I was able to work at home,
express my thoughts through my blog, and innovate with my computer skills through coding, web designing, videos, and writing. I even formed a tech news video podcast featuring all of my online friends. I’d like to meet them and see the world someday and my hard work and computer would enable me just that.I gotta be consistent in doing my best. I’m sure I’ll get there.
For now, I gotta enjoy my life here with the ducks, birds, roosters, the trees, and of course, my computer.
I’m John Raul, your friendly geek from the beautiful islands of the Philippines.
