During pre-school in St. Therese, I usually achieve the title of champion in debates and competitions I participated in. I was always waiting patiently for Friday to come because my school allows us to play games after class. As a price in winning competitions and achieving high grades, my mom would take me out to eat at SM Molino. Throughout my life, my mother has always encouraged me to do my best! There were many difficulties but I overcame them bravely. My mother was always correcting my mistakes and disciplining me properly, which helped shape who I am today. She constantly reminds me not to give up, which I keep in mind even now. She assisted me in realizing that no one is perfect. There will always be sadness, darkness, failures, and disappointments, but these are not reasons to give up. Instead of dwelling on our mistakes, we should acknowledge them and learn from them.
