The journey to Strength and Independence

       Life has a unique way of shaping us through our struggles, and my journey stands as a testimony to this fact. From the moment I took a first steps, challenges seemed to carve out my path, each one leaving an indelible mark on my spirit.

    

This is my life, my beloved parents.

Growing up in a modest home, I quickly learned the value of hard work. My parents, though loving and supportive, could only provide so much. I had a dreams that soared beyond the constrains of my circumstances, and I knew that education was my ticket to a better life. I am determined, and now I am starting to find a job that will eventually can help me financially for my family, and for my academic since I don't want to be a burden to my family most specially to my Mom who is consistently doing everything just for me to take my Bachelor's Degree. Each day was a whirlwind of activity, a delicate balance of responsibilities that many would find overwhelming. But not me. I greeted each challenge with a resolute heart an unwavering smile.

Let's go back to the past, during the high school it brought its own set of trials. As other teenagers enjoyed  carefree days, I was often found with my nose buried in textbooks or my hands busy writing a poem about my life. I tried doing vlogs at home to start what I really love, I tried it since I am aware that we are not that rich enough to sustain my college life in the near future that is why I got a few income from vlogging but I stopped it since it is hard to do videos, editing, uploading at the same time. Financial constrains meant I couldn't always afford the latest fashion or participate in every social event, but these limitations taught me a greater lesson: the power of prioritizing and the importance of perseverance.

When I finally stepped onto the stage to receive my high school diploma, the applause was not just my academic achievements, It was for my grit, tenacity, and my ability to rise above every hurdle life threw her away. With the help of my parents, I am at my college journey, where the stakes were higher, and the challenges more daunting.

College was a melting pot of experiences and emotions. I faced moments of doubt, times when the weight of my responsibilities felt unbearable. Yet, with every heartache and every setback, I grew stronger. I navigated through the complexities of higher education, embraced leadership roles and made lasting connections. I experiences were my greatest teachers, each lesson honing her into a more resilient and independent woman.

Today, I stand tall as a beacon of strength and independence, I am the living proof that "the struggles we face do not define us but rather refine us". Every challenge I overcame added a layer to her resilience, making her not just a survivor, but a thriver.

My journey reminds us all that life's struggles are not stumbling blocks but stepping stones. They are the very essence of growth and strength, shaping us into the best versions of ourselves. Through my story, it can teach and inspire others with perseverance and hope, we can conquer any obstacle and emerge stronger and more self-reliant than even before.
