Past, Present, Future

              Who am I? Well, let me give you an idea of who I was before. Back then, I was just a little girl like any other kids my age. I was a girl who was already contented and happy just by playing with my little brother. There were times when I also dreamt of being a princess because of Disney Channel. I was a girl who also cried because of my parents’ lectures. Being raised from a Filipino family is a bit hard. I needed to meet their expectations in order not to get a scolding from them. But I did not get mad at them because of those times. I knew from that time that they only want the best for me. I even remember my mother saying I must dream high. Due to that, I started dreaming early and am still dreaming until now.
             Many years have gone by and this is me now. At this very moment, I am a teenager who enjoys life yet takes it seriously too. My closest friends know me as jolly and crazy. They even call me “paparazzo” sometimes because I like taking photos secretly. Strangers might say I am quiet and shy. It is partially true at first but get to know me and those will change. Nonetheless, I will describe myself as mature enough in handling some matters in life. I may not know everything but I know I can deal with anything. Same with the other teenagers out there, I am also in love with someone. I am in love with the guy who treats me like his princess and sincerely loves me. Maybe some of you would say I am just blinded by love. Maybe I am but I am saying this because even though we are apart for now he never fails in making me feel how much he loves me. However, being in love does not mean that I will prioritize it over college. Instead, my love will serve as my inspiration in studying. Knowing that my family, my friends, and my boyfriend support me makes me more confident that I can achieve my dreams.
            Someday, I know I will be a successful woman like my mother. I will also be a registered nurse to be exact. She is actually my very first inspiration since she helps a lot of people and still manages to be a good mother and a loving wife. My father is also one of my inspirations. His way of raising me and my brother is matchless. Aside from being successful on my career, I plan of having my own family who will be with me through good and bad times. I will make sure that my future children will always feel the love and care they will need. Lastly, I will let God guide me. I may decide on my own but I will always put Him first above all. I will always thank Him for everything because He is the main reason why I am here in this world.
