Reminiscing Life By Jonaliza Deloso

   In this day and age, living through difficult situations is no easy task. Often, life challenges us to fight repeatedly, to rise even after being thrown down, and to learn resilience instead of surrender. Despite the world’s attempts to push us aside, we must gather the strength to stand firm, not to give up but to embrace the lessons that come with facing tomorrow.

      My life has not been easy, there are many trials to be faced, sometimes it's tiring, you'll suddenly wonder if you're going to give up or fight. In real life , I know it's not just one person who suffers alone but all of us and most of them they fight fairly, so I always motivate myself to continue the life I started. As a student who dreams of overcoming adversity, the future has not been easy.

      There are many times you try to fight even if you give up. When I come home from school I have to work to earn money and to help my parents earn a living.One of the biggest challenges I face in my studies is the lack of financial stability. Coming home from school doesn’t mean rest; instead, I work to earn money and help my parents with their livelihood. Balancing school and work leaves me emotionally, physically, and mentally drained. There are nights when I stay awake trying to finish my assignments or study, fighting the exhaustion that threatens to pull me under. Sleep deprivation often takes its toll, leaving me feeling weak and isolated. But in those moments of vulnerability, I remind myself that I am my own anchor. Sometimes it's pressure to study when you're sleep deprived, the feeling that you're weak, but there's no one close to you but yourself.

      My life has been a journey filled with trials and hardships. There are days when it feels overwhelming, and moments when I wonder whether to keep fighting or give in. But I’ve realized that life’s struggles are not unique to me. Many others face their own battles, and some fight with admirable courage and determination. This inspires me to keep motivating myself, to push forward, and to pursue the dreams I have set for myself. As a student with aspirations of overcoming adversity, I know the path to success is far from easy. It takes grit and relentless effort to keep moving forward, even when it feels like giving up is the easier option.

      Despite the pressure, the weariness, and the countless moments of doubt, I hold on to the hope that my efforts will one day pay off. Each challenge I face strengthens my resolve, teaching me that perseverance and faith in myself are the keys to rising above the trials of life. I am determined to continue, to fight for the future I dream of, and to remind myself that even in the darkest moments, there is always a light waiting at the end of the tunnel.
