I've grown close to one of my advisers, Ms. Santos, which has enabled me to open up to her and tell her about my personal troubles.  I not only treat her as my adviser, but also as my 2nd mom. After I opened up to her, she has encouraged me to pray to God, which kept me hopeful and brought me even closer to God.

I have always attended masses whenever I had the opportunity or spare time. One of the masses felt very meaningful, special, and touched my heart as it made me realize the importance of life and made me reflect my faith in God. After mass, I decided to confess to the Priest and tell him about all of my troubles and burdens. He then instructed me to pray to God and that everything would be well in His time and gave me more advices. He became my confidant and through him, I can say I have a deeper relationship with God. I was able to express my feelings to God's solace and presence after confessing, which was encouraging in my spiritual path.

My grandmother has been suffering from a terminal disease, and whenever I visit her in my spare time, I am always amazed by her warmth and happiness that reflects on her face despite of her difficult circumstances. She always urges me to be grateful every day since each day is a gift from God. I have learned a lot from her, including how to be grateful and to always put my trust and faith in God, who has everything planned out for us. One of the advices that she has told me is to always make time for family and friends to show our love as it is more important than materialistic things.
