Withdrew almost 1BCH! No choice! XD

Life has been a roller coaster. Many times I attempted to give up due to challenges I've encountered. I've been disappointed with myself every single time that I failed but I guess God has a better plan for me.

I'm not born with a silver spoon. I admit, before, I asked myself, "why was I born poor?" But as I get older, realized na ganyan talaga ang buhay, parang life. Haha. I always tell myself to do my best, not die with a financial problem and achieve happiness. And I believe, I will be happy if I become financially stable as I no longer have a concern with money.

After I graduated from primary school our parents said "get to work if you want to study because we can't support you anymore".

I'm lucky enough 'cause our eldest sister supports my studies in my first-year high school. She wanted to support me until college but then had a problem so she sent me back to our hometown.

When I got back, I had never once asked my parents for financial assistance. I worked every weekend for me to have money to spend on weekdays. Sometimes I skip lunch, especially when I need to pay for school requirements. There are times that I just go home when lunch because I'm hungry and will be absent from the afternoon class because I don't have money (The money I earned every weekend has been divided by 5 days and brought the exact amount for me to not spend more). That is why I am so happy when there are no classes haha because I could go to work, earn some and be able to eat lunch for the other day. But if there is an activity on the weekend I attend seldomly(if I only have extra cash, na napakadalang lang mangyari noon haha) because you know, I can't give up half of my allowance for the weekdays.

I've already shared about this, some of you have read it but I just can't help to reminisce about those days, the sacrifice, challenges, hard work, tears, and loneliness. Can't contain the happiness I have right now. It makes me cry. Haha.

It feels like just yesterday when I doubted myself if I could make it through college but look I'm on the list! 

When every time I feel down and unmotivated to study, I always think of my goals and that there is no reason for me to stop. Lalo't kailangan ng pera ang halos lahat ng gusto ko sa buhay. HAHA!

Last June 12, I withdrew BCH as we need to pay some requirements as one of our clearance 🥴 and used it to buy shoes because I don't have what the university requires. 😑 They are so strict, I tell you guys. If the students will not follow the dress code, they'll restrict to go inside. Grrr.

July 4, I withdrew again, worth $60 for our pictorial yesterday and for the cap and gown rental. It really hurts because of the current price of BCH haha. I don't have a choice since I spent my money on my laptop and my scholarship has no update if when we'll receive it.

Malapit na tayo sa exciting part, sa ngayon puro gastos e HAHA. I'm so broke. So yeah. Fighting! 9 days to go!
