That's what I feel when I had the chance to be taken a photo like that. Back when the days life was extremely tough. I really started fro scratches.
In my first three years in college, I became a working scholar in a restitious university where we are required to render 4-5 hours duty per day. So everyday I woke up at around 6am and rendered my duty at 8am to 1pm. Then I have to prepare for my afternoon to night classes where it was totally draining
Then the Biggest Struggle Begins
Then I quit being a working scholar and started working in a BPO company. Life was totally a mess, literally kiling me. I worked full time and studied full time. I took full load to be able to graduate still in 5 years.
It was really draining and life-ending experience. I sometimes skip classes and prefer to sleep. When I really need to attend, I eat (sometimes a lot) to be active. But that year was really was really amazing, a lot of challenging things happened.
Your testing becomes a testimony. Your mess becomes a message.
Amazing, strong, impactful and powerful words. Those words really resembled my struggle before. I'm thankful for the gift and grace and I'm so much positive to share them.
