This is my beautiful mom and the best mom ever. I'm so thankful to her in everything she did to my family especially to me, I am truly grateful for all the sacrifices she made and her unwavering support and for comforting me every time I feel academic pressure. I’m doing my best to finish my studies because no one in our family has graduated yet, and I don’t want to disappoint my mother. I cherish all the values she taught because it helps me continue to guide my decisions every day.

This was my family back then, I have two brothers and I'm the youngest. We're close, even though we argue sometimes, we still help each other in the end. There were only five of us at the time, but we were already so happy, especially now that my siblings have children of their own. My older brothers got married and started their own families, so our family continues to grow. No one in our family has graduated yet, and I’m the only one still studying among my siblings. That’s why I can’t bear to disappoint my parents by not finishing my education.

They are my foundation, the ones who remind me of who I am and what truly matters in life. We prioritize spending quality time together—sharing meals, laughter, and heartfelt conversations. In every chapter of life, they offer unconditional love, guidance, and encouragement. No matter where life takes me, I know I can always count on them.

We share strong bonds and unforgettable memories and always have each other's backs.

This is me as a newborn, a baby whose only problems were eating and sleeping, and this is the time when I saw the world for the first time. I was born on October 31, 2008, and I relied completely on my parents and family for love, care, and protection. During this time, I started to develop basic skills like recognizing faces, responding to sounds, and showing my feelings through crying or smiling.

My early childhood was a fun and exciting time. I began exploring the world on my own. I loved playing with other kids, learning new things, and being curious about everything around me. During this time, I developed my personality. I learned how to talk better and understood how to express my feelings. I also started building friendships, and enjoying simple activities like playing with toys or balloons.

This is me when I experienced some of the most memorable and important moments of my life. I was full of energy and curiosity, always eager to learn and explore new things, both in and out of the classroom. Whether I was in my school uniform, dressed in traditional attire for a cultural event, or serving in church, each moment helped shape my confidence and values. I made friendships that taught me how to share, care, and work as a team. Looking back, my elementary days were a mix of fun, joy, and growth that formed the foundation of who I am today.

This is me right now. I am in my adolescence stage, still growing, and still learning things. I'm starting to explore new places and express myself through my interests in life. Moreover, I have a hard time and become more challenged in my academics. I want to finish school because I am the only one in the family who is schooling, and I can't bear to disappoint my parents by not finishing my education. I've worked hard, and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. This stage of my life has also made me more confident, responsible, and aware of the world around me.

DEAR FUTURE SELF

I hope you are doing well and living the life you once dreamed of. Currently, I am working hard to reach my goal of becoming a nurse. I hope you are happy there and always remember all the sacrifices that you made way back in your academic days. Always keep in mind to help your family. You chose nursing not because this is what you like but because you chose this to care for others, and to help people who are sick. I want you to feel proud of the challenges you overcame, both big and small, on your journey to success. May you continue to grow with compassion, strength, and wisdom while never forgetting the passion that started it all. Keep striving, keep believing, and keep being the best version of yourself.

Sincerely Yours, Past self
