Thank you and thanks HP and YouTube for the opportunity to change and improve people's lives. I hope my story would be instrumental to people who watch this video in realizing how much hope computers offer to less fortunate people, families, and nations.

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 hard 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.
