I Failed but I'm not a Failure

To fail is a part of everyone's success. The only thing you need to do is to correct the mistake and keep on trying again. Because success is like love, it is sweeter and stronger the second time around. Fail + Correct the mistake + Take and learn the lesson = SUCCESS Everybody dream to graduate from a University and becoming a professional. I also once dreamed about it and before getting in that moment I passed many challenges in life, some of them told me that I'm not gonna achieve what I dreamed about because I am prone to have a health problem back then. Let me share with you my journey. After I graduated high school, my mom and I are talking about which University I will enroll in. I took the entrance examination with my best friend and luckily we passed. ➡➡➡➡➡➡Fast forward➡➡➡➡➡ Many years passed and I am in my 3rd year in college, it was in March and the a.y is about to end when I know that I'm pregnant with my first child. I don't know what to do, I'm afraid that's why I keep my pregnancy to my parents. I know I'm a big disappointment in them. And I'm not surprised about my uncle and my aunt's reactions if they know. I continue my studies and I enrolled in my 4th year in college, its first semester. I keep my pregnancy for about 5 months, At that time I decided to tell my parents because I can no more hide my baby bump but my mom ask my roommate. And my roommate asked my permission if I allow her to tell my mom about my situation and I think that is the best way to do it. After my roommate tell my mom via messenger, my mom texted me; Mom: My daughter, why you didn't tell me about your situation. I'm your mom, you should tell me so that we can go to the doctor to have your prenatal check-up. Did you go to a doctor or not yet? Did you take many vitamins? Your food? Milk? Please take care of yourself. I will send to you some amount of money and go to the doctor right away okay? I'm so speechless and shocked about my mom's reaction. I thought that she will get mad at me and tell me to stop my studies. But no, the opposite happens. I reply her about what I felt and why I keep my pregnancy. Even I keep my pregnancy to my parents, I always attended my monthly prenatal check-up using my weekly allowance.

A week after they know the truth, they texted me that they want to know the father of my baby. So, I and my boyfriend go to our house. Upon our arrival, I saw my dad's reaction, he hugged and told me " mao nani nak? Dayon dong, na hala tawga imong mommy kaw" I'm on cloud 9, I feel like I'm floating. I thought my dad will get angry and punch my boyfriend but what he does is warmly welcome my boyfriend. Same as with my other family members they welcome my pregnancy and my boyfriend. Even they warmly welcomed us, I asked for their forgiveness for being a disappointment. And my dad told me; "Pregnancy will never be a disappointment, it is a privileged and a task to handle with care. Yes, you fail us but it is not meant that you cannot correct the mistake, life must go on". But in my 7 months, it was October, I was admitted to the hospital and the doctor advise that I need to go on bed rest because of the threat of early labor. I give up my studies but my boyfriend at that time continues his studies, he is also a graduating student at that time. I give birth to my handsome baby boy via a caesarian section on November 24, 2017.

My parents took care of me and my baby because that tome my boyfriend is on his practice teaching or OJT. 4 months after I give birth, my parents want me to finish my studies because I'm I am a graduating student back then. So they sent me back to school, I took summer classes and by August I was deployed to start my OJT journey.

It was not easy for me because I always think about my son. At that time, my boyfriend who is the one take of care our baby. I work hard for it and God blessed us with another blessing, we got good news we are so blessed because my boyfriend passed the Licensure Examination for Teacher, he is now a licensed mathematics teacher. By May 2019 I officially finish my degree in BS Mapeh.

And luckily after graduating I was hired as a private school teacher at the junior high school department and an adviser of grade 9 students. I'm so blessed that time after I fail to graduate on time now I am a junior high school. My students valued me as their adviser that's why they prepare a surprise for my birthday at that time.

I'm so thankful to them for making my birthday that time extra special. When there is a happy day, there is also a sad day. It was December when I failed again.

I failed to pass the Licensure Examination for Teacher. At that point, I feel that I failed as a mom, daughter, fiance, and teacher. I got depressed and got insecure about those you passed especially to some of my workmates. But after battling against depression, I realized what mistake I've done that why I failed, and now I'm correcting that mistakes. And I'm sure I will pass this January 30, 2022 Licensure Examination for Teacher with God's grace. I will be an LPT by 2022.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Moral Lesson: Don't give up on your dreams even you failed many times because failing is just a warm-up to success. You failed but you are not a FAILURE, you are a survivor. If you failed on your first try, it means the time is not for you but don't worry the second time around will be yours. KEEP ON FIGHTING!!!
