My Journey of Growth and Gratitude.

I would say i am happy with where i am in life. Looking back, I’ve been through so many experiences that shaped me into the person I am today. Some of these experiences were incredibly tough, but despite it all, I’m still here, standing strong and moving forward. Life hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but I’ve come to realize that every challenge I’ve faced has played a part in making me more resilient.

For instance, gaining admission into the university was far from easy. It just felt like the universe was testing me at every turn. I had to deal with so many difficulties during that period. One of the biggest challenges was my parents’ divorce. It didn't just have an emotional toll on me, it also brought financial struggles that made me question if furthering my education was even possible. I remember a time when we had to take a loan from our neighbor just so i could get into the university. It was such a low point for me and my family. There were moments when I felt like giving up, but somehow, I kept pushing through.

Today, I’m in my fourth year at the university, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come. I’m just 21 years old, with one year left before I finally say goodbye to school life. Despite all the challenges, I have managed to maintain a good academic record, which I see as a huge blessing. Looking back, the struggles make my current position feel even more rewarding.

Financially, life is so much better now than it used to be. Back when I started university, feeding myself was a constant struggle. There were times I had to run errands for my classmates just to make a little extra cash for food. I can’t even count how many nights I went to bed with a grumbling stomach or how many times I had to make tough choices between meals and other necessities. But those days are behind me now. I can comfortably eat two proper meals a day and still have enough to get through the week. Knowing where I came from, this is a big achievement for me, and it reminds me to remain grateful for how far I’ve come.

I have so many reasons to be happy about life. Even though I’m not exactly where I want to be, I’m also not where I used to be, and that progress alone is worth celebrating. However, if you ask me if there’s room for improvement, I’d say yes without hesitation. Nobody’s perfect, and I know I have areas in my life that need work and i still want more. Financially, I want to do better. My goal is to reach a point where I can comfortably handle my needs without constantly relying on my parents. For instance, I’ve been using my current phone for two years now, and while it’s still functional, I feel it’s time to upgrade. Being able to afford such things without stress is one of the reasons I’m working hard to grow my income.

Asides that, I still have a lot of other goals I wish to achieve. One of my top priorities is building a successful career. Right now, I’m studying hard to secure good grades and gain the necessary knowledge, but I know that what comes after school will require even more effort and determination. I want to establish myself in a profession that not only provides financial stability but also gives me a sense of fulfillment.

In the end, life is a journey, and I’m learning to enjoy every step of it, even the difficult ones. I’m happy with where I am now, but I know I have so much more to achieve. I’ll keep striving to become the best version of myself, improving a little every day while staying grateful for the blessings I already have. Life may not be perfect, but it’s mine, and for that, I’m deeply grateful.
