“You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated.” I always wonder what my purpose in life is; there are times that I spend my time staring at the wall, wondering if I still walk on the right path. Life is indeed tough. Years have passed, and I’ve learned various lessons that have helped me grow. As a middle child raised as the eldest and independent, I usually dealt with my problems alone and didn’t even know how to ask for help. We are neither rich nor poor; my mother is working hard just to give us a better life, and I’m so thankful for that. I still remember the days when my siblings got sick, particularly my older sister, who has epilepsy. We needed to take her to the hospital with me, and I was worried for her. I didn’t make it to class and skipped my other school activities. I commuted alone from Linga to Sta. Cruz, bringing some necessities; since then, I have become accustomed to hospitals and even ambulances. I was young, doing all the things I had to do, being afraid to disappoint them, and keeping all my thoughts inside my head. I needed a shoulder to cry on, but no one was there for me. I felt so lonely. I almost became a mother to my siblings, but I have no problem with that; it’s just that sometimes I need someone to depend on. I dreamed and aimed higher. I want to be successful and give my family a prosperous life. I no longer want to be looked down on.
