THE CHALLENGES I FACE AS A

SURVIVOR
Everyone of us has its own journey to fulfill,
a journey which will give you a unique experience that will share you a
lesson that only you could ponder
Neil Armstrong quoted after the human race was able to land a step
on the moon, says,
“A journey of a thousand miles begin in a one step forward”
It is indeed a powerful quotation that moves anyone who could here it,
but I don’t understand why myself keep on asking these question;
How can I begin a thousand mile journey if even a single step is about to
kill me?
For the step I was about to take was surrounded with thorns.
Through that question that keeps bugling my mind,
my journey started.
Life is indeed an ocean of mystery that no one could ever predict what
is about to happen.

From a simple girl,


who don’t even know how to utter words in an appropriate manner,

who don’t have the confidence to face people and don’t have the guts
to try new things,

tries to survive a life with full of fear and doubt.


I could still recall the time when I was a child, I am bullied by my
classmates and sometimes tend to be neglected by society
and worst I was stab by hundreds of insulting words.
I don’t even know my role nor my identity in this world full of titles.
I seldom told my self that maybe I don’t have any purpose in life,

the reason why I am afraid to move a single step forward is that

I am afraid of rejection, I am afraid to be hurt.


I cried praying to overcome that anxiety which was killing me softly
from the inside dissolving every confidence and hope that I have.
I don’t know what happened but I was saved by the grace.
There was a silent whisper inside my head telling me to step my foot
forward.
I was afraid, anxious and despaired.
It took a deep sigh to make that decision,
a decision of leaping not blindly but to leap with faith.

I joined a certain pageant here in Pangasinan without knowing what


would be the result or what another insult will I take at that time.
With all my might, I projected myself in a manner that will offend no
one as I wear the gown which was I dreamed to wear before.
From that day,

I was able to pass the hardest part of my life and that is to surpass
the barricade that strangles my feet from moving forward

With God’s grace I was able to bring home the title second runner-up
among the crowd of beautiful women who also joined the pageant

On that day, I gained a confidence under the grace of my God,

the grace that lead me to pursue my ambitions and to face trials with
arms wide open.
Currently, that confidence is the thing that keeps my sanity striving for
excellence.
I was able to finish my studies and years after years it was followed by
my masteral degree.
That confidence keeps telling me to move forward to explore more
miles and I was able to achieved my doctorate degree.
From a girl who was bombarded by negativeness

to a woman who keeps on moving under the grace his God


is now in front of you humbly presenting herself
May I reflect to you the faith that I claim,
the faith that can move mountains
and the faith that that saves me to all the challenges I am facing.
