Reflection to the Transcendence in Mrs. Zenaida Esguerra Life

PT#2

We all know that everyone is cannot be born rich. All of us cannot be wealthy as the day
that we got born. Life is not that easy as we expect. At the story of Mrs. Esguerra, She is from a
family of poor. But her parents dreamed to escape being poor. In her story she shows that we
can all escape being poor if we try our best and if we possess the positivity that we can do
everything. They are not financially stable but she was able to finish college because her family
trust her. If we do trust each other in our life nothing is impossible. We can do more that what
we expect if we trust our self that we can do that certain things that we want to pursue. In her
story she only want to passed the exam but she supass her limit and became one of the
topnatcher. If she doubt herself she might not able to achieve what she acheive. Also one thing
to remember about her story is that no matter what happen to us is that never lose hope in our
life. Let’s just trust the process cause we can all survive all the struggles. We have to think
wider what is the solution or the right thing to do so we can fullfill all the promises or our
dream that we what to achieve in our life. It might not be easy but there will be always a
solution or answer to survive them. Never doubt yourself because if we doubt our self it is like
we are calling the negative vibes that we imagine to happen. Also helping others can be the
answer for our success,sharing what we had is like sharing love of God for us. In our life
nothing is impossible we can do if we try to do.
