WHO AM I ?

evanjelynsanterna — 2023-12-20 14:40:59 UTC

I am Evanjelyn Santerna, the daughter of Mrs Gina and Mr Amelito Santerna.

I am 21 years old and currently living at Kansi Tuburan, Cebu. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters.

I came from a simple family. We are not rich in money but I can say that we are rich in love, especially from our parents. I really appreciate small things.

In addition, i love playing volleyball and sometimes dancing. I also loved helping other people, especially elders. I feel it to my self that I care too much for other people even i get hurts from it but it doesn't matter to me as long as i help or care them.

I can say to myself that it's okay to be hurt than I'm hurting someone.

I am also very softhearted person and a very generous one.

Furthermore, I'm a kind of person that is very politeful and talkative to the people especially when I feel comfortable.

Also, I can see myself as a fighter girl. I've already encounter a lot of challenges,struggles in life, but luckily I survived it .

I am blessed the way i handled my problems especially now that I'm far with my family,and I'm independent person .

Lastly, I'm a girl with a mission in life. I have a lot of plans for my family,for my future and for others who need help. I'm a type of girl that is a believer and believe in the hope of tomorrow. Its because I believe that "When the time is right I the Lord will make it happen".

"MY BIGGEST FEAR"

evanjelynsanterna — 2023-12-20 14:55:49 UTC

My biggest fear in life is when I fail my studies. I don't want to fail because I'm the first girl in our family pursuing in college level. In my father side, my cousins are married early and they didn't finish there studies. Also in my father side, they also get married early and didn't finish there studies either. Then in our family I'm the oldest sister, I have two older brother and I'm the 3rd sibling and the older sister. So that my biggest fear is to fail their expectations. I don't want to fail their expectations, because I know that there expectations is very high and I keep pursuing this course to meet their expectations. I'll do my best to make them proud. I know someday they will be proud of me. In God's perfect timing. I know that there's a perfect timing in all things. As of now, I'm doing my best even it's so hard for me but because of them i fight for it for the better tomorrow.

"WHAT KEEPS ME GOING"

Despite all the trials I encounter in life, the reason why I keep going is my family. They are the reason why I continue my college life. They're the one who push me to pursue my studies. They motivate me to commit my dreams. As what my mother said " Paningkamot makahuman ka ug skwela Kay kana ra among ikabilin sa imuha". That words made me realize to finish my studies despite all the struggles in life, despite lack of financial support but I'll keep going because of them. As I see my parents sacrifice, it makes my heart melt. Sometimes I want to give up, I think it's better to stop my studies and find works, but when I tell my parents in my decision,they are very angry to me. They say that we find money , we borrow money just to pay your projects. That words make me cry in silence. I don't want to cry in the front of them , i cried at nights when they're sleeping. I just pray to God that Lord please help me to finish my studies,give me strength because I want to treat my parents in all things they want to eat, they want to buy , they want to go. I want to experience them the fruit of their sacrifices, especially my parents.

My parents aren't experience in college level that's why they want us to finish college and as a degree holder.

I know that since elementary until now I've already encounter a difficult battle in life and I know that there still have a lot of battle to survive, but I'm still pursuing my battle in life for my parents and to my family.

Lastly, I keep going in life because I still have a mission to finish that I can help other people and for the sake of my future.
