Hi there, I am Jeralyn Dinoy 26 years old currently living in Cebu City. Greatful and blessed that I am now part of this community, thanks to my friend @Antonette for inviting me and helping me to be in this wonderful community where I could create and share my story and life journey. So let's go come with me as I share my life story and experiences.
I was born in Ormoc City Leyte on July 23, 1999. We have a good life way back then not because we are rich but because we are still a happy and complete family. I can say we live in a comfortable life because my parents have their own house and lot that we can call our home sweet home and the business is still profitable and fast moving since it is a fish business which is need and necessary to all buyers and consumers.
Growing up I used to be the second mother of the family since I am the eldest daughter among of my 4 younger siblings. When I was young I already experience taking care of my younger siblings because my parents are so busy of their business which is to buy and sell fish in the market. I need to take care of my brothers and sisters not because my parents told me but because I love and I care for them, I want them to grow up with a positive and great mindset just like me because I believe, I am a woman with positive mindset when it comes to every challenges and problems I encountered in everyday life. That we should be greatful in so many things even the smallest things on earth cause God created everything for our own good, that we should appreciate life and most importantly God.
Year 2013 as I can remember we experience a super typhoon and the typhoon name is Yolanda, that was the first typhoon that totally ruined our house and the entire city of Ormoc and other cities in Visayas leyte. There's no electricity in the entire city we live for about 4 to 6 months without electricity because there are so many important areas that are need to fix specially those area with hospitals.
After we survived the super typhoon effect, the next year September 2014, I started to feel that my mother and father has a problem with their relationship they argue almost everyday my father always drunk and my mother doesn't care at all maybe she's already tired about my father and the situation everytime they make a fight or arguments about something I don't really know, and yes the same year they broke up and my mother live with another man and my father still live with us. To move on because I know my father was really hurt knowing my mother has another man after they broke up my father told me to take care of my 4 younger siblings because they will go to Manila with his friend to work in a bakery shop since my father knows how to bake cakes and make breads. I cried really hard in the market after my father make a call that they already in the terminal bus in Ormoc City going to Manila and told me once again that I should take care and help my younger siblings.
It was really hard but life must go on. There I realized that life is not the same anymore we are now a product of a broken family that we should be more responsible with our self because my parents are not really there to look for us and guide us. I always pray to God to help us in this kind of life trials.
In college I really wanted to take up Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Business, I passed the entrance exam and ready for the enrollment process but suddenly my mother don't really like the course I'm about to pursue because what she want is the course Bachelor of Science in Accountancy but I told her that I can't take that course because I'm not into accounting and I'm not good at it really and I hate that subject when we're still in senior high school but she said you have to take BSA or else I won't support your studies. So yes I grab the BSA course because that was my mother want to but sad to say I only finished first year college and during that year I was having anxiety, sadness and mild depression because it was really hard for me to get the passing rate every time we are having an exam or recitation and I'm really doing my best to pass and study really hard about every topic we tackled and I wasn't able to pass the final exam to proceed for the BSA course. So there I stop cause I'm not happy anymore and I'm really sorry about that specially to my mother cause I broke her heart but I need comfort my self that time and then I stop going to school to enroll.
Now I already have a family with 2 daughter so happy that God gave me this wonderful blessing cause it healed the broken heart of being a product of a broken family, now I live in peace with my 2 lovable kids and a responsible partner. My live in partner is a great and good father, he always come home early from work or any sideline to make money. I always thank God for giving me a good and lovable partner that no matter what we are facing any challenges in life he will always choose us and protect us. We may experience a difficulty in terms of money or financial we always think positive that God will always provide and not let us down no matter what and always think that every problem and challenge we encountered that will help us and teach us to be more faithful to God.
Meet my first born daughter
And also meet my second born little baby
As a mother it thought me to be more efficient, responsible, understandable, hard working and be more faithful to God. My mind was more open and matured cause there are so many trials and challenges in life, having a family that you're not thinking just about yourself but for the whole family. Every decision made is base for the goodness of the family and being a role model also to my 2 little girls because they not only see me as a mother but also a good example that they will follow as they grow up. That is why I am more vigilant about my words and way of thinking so that my children will go in a right path in life and also with a great mindset.
