SELF- REFLECTION
For 21 years of living I’ve experienced a lot, where I encounter different types of
problems and hindrances in life. My past made who am I today, I grow and become a good
person where I become better step by step.
My life is not easy, it is not the typical story that when you’re young you grow with your
parents guiding you as you go older. My nightmare starts when I was 10 years old when my
mom needs to left us for some serious matter. That was the day that I never imagined that it will
happen, our life before that is simple and happy I was contented we’re not rich but at least we eat
3 times a day. But my mother is not contented for what we have, she wants more she wants to
give us more than that. That was the time when she decided to leave us at first we thought it just
like a vacation to their home town but time passes 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and so on she did
not come back. In the first 2 years our life is so miserable I was just 10 years old that time and no
one will guide us except to our sister who is 15 years old that time. That time my father is in
Tarlac working so we have no choice but to become matured right away we need to become
independent. We need to learn about life in that young age where we are very innocent, we don’t
know what real life is. We we’re like a stray cat that doesn't know where to go or what to do.
That was the time that I know my childhood experience was stolen from me but I have no choice
we need to survive this kind of situation and move forward. I know that our parents are proud of
us because we overcome it we survive without them guiding us. We become a better version of
ourselves right now, having dreams to pursue even life is so hard to us. But I have a lot of
chances to change my fate to make it to what I expect. I’ve learned that everything happens for a
reason this happened to us to become stronger and to prepare us in a bigger problems because
life is not easy it’s like a gamble that you don’t know what would happen next. All you have to
do is believe in yourself and have faith to our Lord God.
If I have a chance to change my past I wouldn’t do it because my past made me who I am
today. I know life is not easy we just need to stand firm and don’t give up in any challenges that
you encounter. I’m Clarisse f. Tadeo and hoping for the best version of myself in the near future.
