Music is life for me! I learned how to play an instrument when I was in junior high, some of my classmates teased me before that I can’t do it, however look where I am now! Who would guess that a young woman like me, is now doing covers on fb and plays at church. I have had a lot of struggles before I achieved this goal. I hurt my fingers before it even bleed! My mom looked so worried and I can tell that she wants me to stop practicing before. I pursued this line and now, I’m earning it by doing covers online, though I still am not a pro in guitar I at least kearned a few. Dreams do come true!
That’s what I said 3 years ago.
Life can be challenging and gives you hard time in pursuing.
Before enrolling in senior high she wanted to be an Atty. to defend people from misleading informations.
“I wanted to fix Filipinos way of thinking about laws. I wanted to be seen not just a Lawyer but also as an inspiration to others, that YOU CAN what YOU WANT with courage and strength from God”
—Carmela B. Santos
But when the pandemic strikes it hit me right in my mind that I can’t be a Lawyer, because of my family’s financial struggling. Soon after one of my nieces called and ask for my help as her tutor in one of her subject, she’s a grade 7 student in Notre Christian Academy Philippines, she hated the subject and calls it “panira ng card” because she can’t understand it well.
At first I was hesitant, because I couldn’t even teach myself! But I took the risk and tried my best to teach her. After a month of tutoring at my niece she passed the subject and thanked me! There I realize that I can change students way of thinking about learning.
So now, I am aiming for my dream to become a Teacher.there is no late in achieving if God allows it, it will happen.
There is no late in achieving if God allows it, it will happen. PUHON! PADAYON!
