Being a working student is quite hard yet challenging. A lot of patience and sacrifices are needed to conquer all trials. I started as a working student several years ago and still remember those days that I doubted myself. I’ve known some people who went through the same journey, and they became successful. They inspire me to strive more and come up with these sayings: "If they can do it, why can't I?". With these various experiences alongside people I dealt with, I earned my self-confidence in dealing with different kinds of people and even made me stronger in dealing with life difficulty. I've Learned to do time management. I make sure everything is balanced between my work, school and family.

I’ve come to my decision to be a working student not only to move up and earn money but also to make my family proud of me. I have kids to support and I know for a fact that I am responsible for them. They are my main reason why I'm still here and they inspires me to be a better version of myself.

There’s point in my life that I’ve lost interest in everthing. I just felt so tired and seems like I’m still not doing the right thing, " Your body says that you need a little bit of rest, but my mind and heart keep on pushing me and saying, “i have a lot of dream.” It is nearly impossible to conquer it, but yes, I did. I was able to overcome this situation because God gave me strength and guidance to move forward, as I also envision myself that no matter what happened I should finish school, and I am keeping my eye to the finish line. I'm always thinking of my family, they are the reason why I dream big; they motivates me and gives me the courage to study harder. People keep asking me, "you never get tired?" but I keep on answering, "I’m just a human, I also get tired, but that's not a reason to give up specially if you are certain of your goals, it’ll be all worth it” To those students who are also working and studying at the same time, It’ll never be easy, but if you have this courage and motivation towards it, nothing is impossible. Know your priorities, learn to manage your time, just keep moving forward, never give up no matter what, and bear in mind that God is guiding you all the steps along the way.
