My Little Dreams

"Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Being born in a small barangay in Coronon, Sta.Cruz gives me my beautiful identity and uniqueness. We're seven (7) all in the family. I'm the second child and I have an older brother. On the third day of March 1999, I was born. You can call me Keilah or ella. Ever since I was young, I became aware of the fact that life isn't always easy. When I was 9 years old I experienced picking up trashes, bottles and cans to sell it to junkshop so that we have food to eat. That time, my father has no permanent job and I still have a month year old younger brother.

Still as fresh as the blood flowing in my veins the day I cried because I don't have a new dress or even shoes to wear on my closing ceremony in grade school. I'm still crying in the fact that it happened every year haha lol. But the feeling of excitement was there despite of the situation. I'm happy to be able to walked on and go to the stage because I have an award. That was the first time I was dreaming of becoming a successful person oneday.

In my innocent heart and mind, I dreamed to finish my studies and get a decent job. I want to travel to different places with unique scenery and there, I want to create a memory that are worth reminiscing. Moreover, I want to give my family a life of total good and eat lots of delicious foods together especially my favorite buko pie and mango float.

Contrarily, things were not fall into place as what I wanted to be. My family turned into a complicated one. We were separated with each other, my brothers and sisters. Out of nowhere, I placed at my grandmas house while my other siblings went to my auntie and uncle. Regardless of my young age I became mentally mature. But I believe that my situation are only temporary and that God has a purpose to my catastrophic life.

Currently, I am in my 4th year in college and I'm still holding those little yet wonderful dreams of mine 12 years ago.

Ommoo, I am getting closer and closer to my dreams guyses 🤗. I am so thankful to God for helping me through the years. I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. Fighting!

Closing Thoughts:

As we live on, things happen to us though we don't want it to be. But the good thing is, we never surrender. We keep the guts to continue to walk on the unknown road of the future. To conclude, we should never easily give up when things go wrong but instead pray to God. We may not easily understand His ways but surely His plan for us is wonderful. Jeremiah 29:11.
