Ako ay Isang Raketerang Ina

I am inspired to create a Filipino Poem, about my life as a mom and I want to share it you. Also, I included the story of my motivation for this poem. "Ako ay Isang Raketerang Ina" *Ako ay isang raketerang ina* *Iba't-ibang raket sinubukan ko na* *Pagtitinda ng mga make-up, ukay-ukay at kung ano-ano pa* *Upang ang aming kita ay madagdagan pa* *Maraming nagtatanong, may trabaho ka na diba?* *Bakit rumaraket ka pa?* *Ako'y napangiti naibulong sa sarili* *Syempre, gusto ko ng dagdag kita para sa aming pamilya* *Dahil sa ako ay isang raketerang ina* *Sa noise.cash at read.cash ako ay napunta* *Ngayon ang raketerang ina* *Nag-iingay at naging manunulat pa* *Salamat sa Diyos* *Sa kanyang biyaya ng malusog na isipan at pangangatawan* *Aking panalangin, ako'y patuloy nyang gabayan* *Nang ang pangarap ko para sa aking mga pamilya ay aking makamtan* When I was young, I experienced the hardships in life, when you don't have enough for your food or you can't buy what you like. I even go to school without Baon, but I am not complaining, because I know that I am loved and my parents are working hard for the family. When I reached highschool, that was the time I started to be a "raketera", finding ways to have an extra income. I make research papers for my classmates, I do errands for teachers like bank withdrawals, buying of goods and the like, I also sell kakanin like bibingka, puto, suman since those are cooked by my mother. When I reached college, the same things happened. I do this to have additional finances for my studies. Until I graduate and find a humble job in the institution that I am working. When I started working as faculty, I find my job fine but also made some other part-time jobs like tutor or teaching in other school as part-time. Until I married and have kids and my mom's health needs attention, there I really realized that I need to have extra income. To supply the needs of my family and at the same time help in the medication of my mom. So I prayed to the Lord to guide me to the additional income strategies and ventures. So I start selling Mary Kay, selling Ukay-ukay, buying and selling art and planner materials and anything that I can sell. Thanks to technology, it helped me a lot on marketing my goods. I am also active on online mini tasks, I can't work to another full-time job since I have 3 kids, one is still 1 year old. If I will have another work, I do not have time for them anymore. My family is still my priority. Being a raketera is already in my blood since then and I am happy to say that it really helped our family. I am thankful to God for the wisdom, strength and opportunities that He has shown me all the way.

Now, I am here in read.cash and I am also in noise.cash, I am happy to be able to meet new virtual friends and able to learn from them. I am looking forward for more opportunities here in read.cash and to the new platforms that the BCH team has created. Thanks for reading. @MizLhaine
