Taking Risks!


I grew up in a small town and as a typical small town girl, I’ve always wanted to go to the big city to fulfill my dreams and experience a different kind of life. My family and some of my friends asked me why I need to go far. They suggested that I stay home and find a decent job in town. I’m grateful for their advices but I’m the type of person who wants more out of life than sit down and wait for something to happen. I play safe but most of the time, I like to take risks and I want to encounter new challenges because they make life more interesting and exciting. I like to learn new things and I don’t want to limit myself to things that are already there. I want to go far and reach my dreams with hardwork and perseverance. Call me ambitious, I don’t care because that’s what I am.

After facing a lot of obstacles, finally, I’m here. It’s tough especially when you’re a stranger. However, nothing and no one can stop me from doing the things that I want to do. Every day, I battle with stress due to grueling work demands and schedules, heavy traffic, bad weather condition, pollution, dirty environment, and long hours of travel from work to home and back and forth. Despite all of these, I remain motivated and the best thing is, the passion to reach my dreams is still there. I’ve never felt so driven in my entire life! I don’t know what lies ahead but right now, I’ll do my best to get what I want.
