Mysterious. Shallow . Captive
A quiet person avoiding crowds and spotlights. Staying on corners holding a pen and a notebook. People may describe me a nerd, filled with books and imaginations, but behind my gaze is a girl who loves to see the beauty in every detail, because I believe that small details can create a big difference in life.
Hi there! I'm Eulaica Grace Alferez. My nicknames are "Cacai, Kaking , Laica, Grace" you can call me anything you like. My world is small, but my mind is big. My mind is full of thoughts that I only kept to myself, but in an instant something changed. I began to see something that my mind can't see before, or did I just shrug it off and
neglect it from the start? I dreamed of becoming a psychologist but my father won't allow the thought of me becoming one because I am in a family of teachers, that is why I accept the challenge. Little did he know I was not serious about any of his plans. I'm 23 years old, a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. Being in the field of teaching is not really my "forte". I always tell myself I just need to finish this course because I need to prove them something right. I was a consistent honor student during my High School days. I joined pageants, shows, and I even became a host on such events at school.
We are a family of teachers, I'm the youngest of my siblings. I was the most hard headed one, I even ask myself " Am I the blacksheep of the family?" then I would laugh it out. You can see me smiling in the picture, having no thought of harming myself. But I did before due to low self-esteem. During my college days, I can see the real challenge. The real me that brought out the hidden me. I know this is confusing but my life is full of mystery, but I like the thought of keeping it to myself most of the time. I only express myself, through writing and posting because it gives me the courage to speak up and share without criticisms.
My intership days were so tiring yet so fun. I enjoyed playing with kids, teaching them arts, crafts and many more. I was assigned to teach Arts Appreciation that time and I ask myself if I can handle the task, still I accepted the challenge because my Cooperating- teacher motivated me and lift me to be the best version of myself.
He told me about managing the task effectively and creating innovative strategies to engage with students during the class. It was so much fun!
The time of judgement days were the stressful days. We even cried out, due to management stress and financial crisis but we still did our best and finished the requirements. I can still remember the time when my classmate ask if I'm still doing fine, then I burst out crying because I never experience being ask if I'm okay or doing well.
I'm a competitive person, I always take initiative and complete every task that is given to me. I don't talk much, but when I do it would be a very important one.Life had taught me many things, I always look up to Him and say thank you everyday, because he never left me despite the challenges I faced. I realized it was just me all along, avoiding opportunities and scared to take risk.
My life is like a hunted house full of mysteries, doors locked, with many twist and turns. I'm an ESL Teacher now at a well known company. I am happy because of the opportunity given to me. I thank the Lord for the gift of Life, my mission and my passion that gives my the grit to achieve what is on the way. I may not be perfect, but I always give the best version of myself. The most introverted Cinderella is now a new version, but still I needed to cope up with everyone.
I'm also very grateful to ma'am
