At first, I found it tough to balance being a mother, employee and a student. I have to constantly adjust my time to fulfill all tasks required of those roles. Sang umpisa gab-i na gid ako makatulog doing my assignments and these were times when I thought about giving up. But each time I see my children and hear encouraging words from my husband, I become motivated. Totoo nga na you become stronger when you get through hardship. My family motivates me to continue my battle for my dreams – for our dreams.

Now, I have already adjusted. I am lucky I am a regular employee of KCC Marbel and this served as a bridge of opportunity to pursue my studies at NBSPI. I appreciate my school because it opened the possibility for me to continue my studies while working. My teachers are also understanding and considerate and I am really learning a lot in my subjects. Bisan budlay ang sitwasyon subong sa kalibutan, waay ako nadulaan sang paglaom.
