Sacrifice
February 12, 2022 When it comes to my loved ones, I am willing to sacrifice, I grew up in a poor family in the province of Cebu under the care of my grandparents, I was not able to be with my siblings and my parents but my love for them was equal. When I was in grade school I just learned to be strong in myself, that I need not depend on other people. At a young age, I learned to dream on my own so when I graduated from grade school I went to the city where my parents stay. There I found out that they are also having a hard life because my mother gave birth after another. During those times I want to be with them but as I see my parents that we were having a hard life living so I made a way not to add to their problem. I wish I used to enroll but I knew my parents couldn't afford it. So at the age of 12, I started working as a housemaid it so happened that our neighbor needs a house helper since they have a little business they ask me to come into their house to work since I didn't enroll in that school year. I dared to work because I wanted to be able to enroll in the first year of high school in the next school year when I work for a year I couldn't save money. After all, every time I get my salary my mom is waiting as they badly need it so I can't say no to them and all the money I give. But God sees my desire my bosses are kind when the class start they ask me to enroll but in return, I don't have the salary to receive as they are the ones to send me to high school. Time passed quickly and I was able to finish high school as a working student I would still like to continue my studies but because my parents want me to have a job so that I can somehow help my siblings with their studies. I got a job as a factory worker but hence my salary still be less but we can't do anything as im only a high school diploma we can't find another job as im not qualified for that job that needs a degree so that we can also have a big salary. `What do you see as your best character trait?` During the hardships in my life, **the best character trait** that I possess was I know how to balance the situation I can say that due to poverty I learned so many things in life I learned to be strong, I learned to stand up for my own, I learned to wait for the right time that everything happens for a reason that everything had a purpose. `What mistakes did you learn the most from?` The mistake that I learned the most I think in my parent's situation when even they know how hard it is to raise children especially they don't have a stable job but again they keep on giving birth though im not questioning their capability as eventually, it gives me so many lessons that I applied it now that I have my own family. `What is an important thing in a relationship?` In all kinds of relationships may it be with your siblings, parents, neighbor, workmates, soulmates where ever we go as we encounter a different group of people we should bring always respect in that way we can build a good relationship with mankind. As for me since we're in a long-distance relationship the most important thing that we always keep in mind is that we build trust in each other and don't try to crack someone's trust as It will never be the same again, So far for 5 years of being far from each other, we are staying stronger as we put God at the center of our relationship. This is my entry to @carisdaneym2 a birthday giveaway. Belated happy 21st birthday sis and nice meeting you may God shower you with more blessings and most importantly good health.

Chin up warrior. I understand the phase you had gone through. You have sacrificed your dreams too. But those hard days made you strong today.
Yes, you're right my friend the hard days was my stepping stone.
I inspired with this sis. At the age of 12, you work already because you want to save for your study. Your truly hardworking sis. I salute you. I know God will bless you more because you deserve it. Yes sis that's true, trust is really important in a relationship that's why in a couple or partners have trust to each other and please don't ruin it. Also loyalty is really important.
Mahirap talaga ang buhay namin noong maliliit pa kami sis tapos 9 pa kami magkakapatid yung parents ko pa extra extra lang ng work.
Kaya proud ako sayo sis. Sobrang napaka hardworking mo.

Apil na dae ha , mao gyud dae magka vibes kay looy og kaagi hihi.
You're really a fighter since then ate. Grabe po 12 years old ka pa lang but you need to work na po. Nakakainspire po kayo because you are one of the living proof na walang mahirap sa taong may pangarap.🤗
Oo sis iwan napaka matured ko mag isip ng mga panahong iyun hindi ako nakaranas ng pagbabarkada.
Ang hitap din pala ng pinagdaanan mo. Gayan talaga ang buhay we need to sacrifice kung may gusto tayong makuha o maabot sa buhay. We need to be strong
Tama kasi kung hindi din tayo kikilos tayo lang din ang mahihirapan kaya hanggat kaya pa ng katawan hindi tayo dapat umasa sa iba.
Marami man tayong pinagdaanan sa buhay noon, malaking tulong rin yon para mas maging malakas at mahusay tayo ngayon ate. Fighting!
Fight lang talaga Marc para sa kinabukasan.
Iba iba talaga ang kinakaharap ng tao. But salute sis sa pagka strong nimu. Someday, everything will be worth it. God bless sayo sis.
Salamat dae God bless din sayo.

Hihi bitaw dae okay raman sad ko naanad na.
Minsan need tlaga nating mag sakripisyo para sa family natin sis, parang ako lang, gusto ko din naman mag college pero eventually nauwi ako sa maagang pag tatrabaho, nakakalungkot pero no choice.
Gusto ko talaga sana noon mag college sis pero hindi talaga kinaya wala talagang mag support financially pero okay na din sis atleast yung hirap natin noon ay nagiging matatag tayo ngayon.
Dear Cleophia, You have had a very difficult life, but I know that with all your efforts you will build a very good future for yourself and your children. It is good to always learn from the mistakes of others...
Yes, life is hard, we are always making sacrifices. Our parents always believe in our success no matter what. Hard and persistent work, as well as the pursuit of the goal always! It pays off.
True sis, eventually all the hard work time will come we harvested it.
You are an awesome soul Cleophia for doing all those sacrifices for your family. Glad that you were able to learn lessons from your experiences. Salute to you :)
Thank you sis,
Ate, saludo po ako sayo. You are the bravest! Good luck to us, I also passed my entry. God bless po!
Thank you saur, God bless you to.
Hello it Mr potbelly with his big stomach on the table . I am a new bie here nice meeting you I don't know about this challenge going on I will like to bounce on it . You are actually right sacrifice really matters I love the first quote of your article which says " when it comes to my loves ones I am willing to sacrifice " . That nice
Oh thank you potbelly I like your username too just enjoy in here keep going.
Thanks for the love mam
Those parents from those days still lack understanding in childbirth. I think they didn't have the idea that producing offsprings should be compatible with the availability of resources. Happy birthday to the celebrant🎉
Thank you kiingsley, but good thing now the new generation knows how to control of giving birth not all but mostly.
Hi sis I'm back for good trying to pull my loose strings here hehehe and I love your article because its about sacrifice just like what I can give to my family and kids.
Balik kana dito sis , sayang kasi hihi gawa ka lang pag may time.
Naku kung sa time lang parang nauubosan na nga ako ehh hehehe kay noise lang at gawain sa bahay ehh naku po pero bahala napo sis
You're too young when you start working Sis. Not a surprise sobrang masipag mo ngayon.
