I am, I was, And I Hope To Be

 


I was Born in the Philippines.
I was with three foster families.
I was struggling with school.
I became a “mother” to three younger siblings.
I was someone who begged door to door for food with my “Lola”.
I was malnourished because I gave what little food I had to my sisters.
I was forced to grow up at seven years old.

I was struggling with Major Depression & Anxiety during my Junior Year in High School

I am RESILIENT..
I am Caring.
I am Open-minded.
I am Hardworking.
I am the Elder Sister of 3 siblings.
I am a Student.

I AM A LEARNER.
I am Willing to Help my Community.
I am Always  aware that Everyone has their own “Biography” (a story of who they are as an individual).

I am always willing to do my very best in everything I do.
I am Grateful for the things I Have.

 

I hope to be someone who graduated with a Masters from the College of my choosing.
I hope to have many financial help, scholarships to help with paying for schooling.
I hope to be able to study abroad in a 3rd world country.
I hope to be a: Elementary Teacher, Adoption Social Worker/ School Social Worker, Therapist...I hope to have a Service Base Career; A career that I love.
I hope to give back to my family & take care of them.
I hope to reach financial stability.
I hope to have a husband and children.
I hope to be happy, content, well educated, experienced, learning all the time during my lifetime.
