"Bound by Love: The Strength of Family and Friendship"
I also love trying new recipes and experimenting in the kitchen. My dream of becoming a chef is not just for my own success but also to inspire others and help my family in the future.
"The People Around Me: My Family"
I am the eldest among four siblings, which has taught me to be responsible and helpful to my younger siblings. I often assist with household chores and take care of them. I also help my parents with their business in the market. As the eldest, I want to set a good example and work hard to support my family in the future.
My parents are both hardworking vendors. They work together every day to provide for our needs. Despite the exhaustion and challenges, they continue to persevere to ensure that we have a good life and a bright future.
My mother is a dedicated and determined vendor. Even though her job is difficult, she never gives up because she wants to provide us with everything we need. Every item she sells carries her love and sacrifice for our family.
My father, on the other hand, is my mother's partner in their business. They work hand in hand to strengthen their livelihood. He is never afraid of any challenge and always prioritizes our family's well-being. He is one of the people who taught me the importance of hard work, perseverance, and responsibility in life.
Because of their dedication, I have learned the true value of hard work and sacrifice. They inspire me to focus on my studies and pursue my dream of becoming a chef. One day, I hope to repay all their efforts and give them the comfortable life they truly deserve.
For me, my parents are not just simple vendors—they are the heroes of our family.
My Friends
In life, it’s not only family that serves as my guide and support, but also my closest friends. There are four of us in our group, and even though we are walking different paths, our friendship remains strong.
One of us is older and serves as our mentor. He is always there to give us advice and guidance in life. Although his words can sometimes be strict, we know that he only wants the best for us. With his vast experience, he helps us make wiser decisions.
Another one of us is already working in Laguna. Despite being busy with work, he never forgets to check on us. He shows us the importance of hard work and perseverance. He is our inspiration when it comes to striving for success and reaching our dreams.
Meanwhile, another friend is studying in Lopez. Even with his busy school life, he never fails to stay connected with us. He is always there to share laughter, have deep conversations, and offer support. He constantly reminds us that education is important and that we should never give up on our goals.
Even though we are on different journeys, our friendship remains unshaken. We continue to stay in touch, support each other, and lift one another up. They are my second family people who may not be related to me by blood, but whom I know I can count on no matter what challenges life brings.
And it's not just them I still have many other friends who are with me not only in times of joy but also in moments of sorrow and more. Even though we may be far apart, our friendship remains strong and unbreakable.
