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.
