    My CORE Stories

    Story that inspired me


    The story that inspires me to push through every day is the story of how my mother became the
    successful woman she is today. She grew up from a family that has barely enough means for
    necessities. My mom, along with my grandparents, used to live with different relatives because
    they cannot afford their own. Despite the hard living situation, my mom maintained her position
    of being the top student from pre-school up until college. She told me so many stories of her
    struggles such as studying with no electricity for days; her time being taken away from helping
    relatives; and not to mention financial problems. I cannot imagine all the frustrations and stress
    she felt at such a young age. My mom’s student journey reminds me to be grateful of what I have
    today. I am truly blessed to be born in a financially stable family. Whenever I am feeling drained
    because of school works, I just keep in mind that my mom worked so hard to give me
    everything, so I need to work hard as well. Another thing she told me was that, all of these was
    possible because she believed that God will guide her all the way. She trusted God with her
    future, and obviously He didn’t fail her. Just like my mom, I aspire to be someone that does
    everything with faith and for the glory of God. I also share this very inspiring learning with my
    siblings so that they may learn from it as well. All in all I have learned that anything is possible
    as long as you have faith. We may have big problems ahead of us, but always remember that
    OUR GOD IS BIGGER. In line with this, the song that is a great representation of what I have
    learned is ‘Nothing is Impossible’ by Planet Shakers.

    My own story
    Regarding my story, it may not have been as hard as what my mom had experienced, It was still
    a struggle for me. During my high school years, all I cared about are grades and awards. I was so
    drowned with school works and extra-curricular activities that I forgot to enjoy being young. I
    would spend all my after class hours doing programs / writing articles for our school. Don’t get
    me wrong, I do not regret being busy for it honed my skills and made me what I am today. When
    I graduated valedictorian with tons of awards, I felt very superior among others. I was not
    arrogant, but I thought too highly of myself. Because of that, I only applied to the big 4
    universities for college – UP, ADMU, UST, and DLSU. I was very confident that I would pass at
    least 3 of the 4 that’s why I did not bother applying to other universities just in case. When the
    time the results were released (except for DLSU), I was full of despair because I failed all 3
    universities. I was very anxious because I have no back up school and I was losing hope that I
    would pass DLSU. Aside from that, there was a lot of pressure coming from my peers and family
    because they thought very highly of me too. I cried a lot because I was so worried for my future
    and how everyone would think of me. After all the crying there was a thought that just entered
    my mind saying “don’t worry, you’ll be fine.” It comforted me a lot and I started having faith
    that I still have a chance at DLSU. After a few days the results of DLSU were also released, and
    I passed. I had a lot of reflections after that and I realized that God was trying to humble me
    down. It also taught me that God has better plans for me that’s why He placed me at DLSU. I
    really did not share this experience with anyone until now. However as I was writing this, maybe
    I should share it with other students so that they may learn from it as well. With this, I have
    learned to humble myself and surrender yourself to the Lord. In line with this, a great song to
    symbolize my experience is ‘Oceans’ by Hillsong United.
