What was your Spirit Animal be, and Why?

If I had a spirit animal, it would be a turtle. A turtle moves slowly, but it never stops. Just like me, even when the strongest wave brings me back to the ocean, I remain strong and stay dedicated to my goals.

In my life, I struggle with different situations—financial problems challenge me, I have limited vocabulary, and I face difficulties in communication skills, sometimes struggling to understand difficult words because I’m not as intelligent as everyone else. But still, I keep fighting and telling myself that I can do it for my family and for my future. Even if sometimes I just want to give up, especially when I am in a difficult situation where I struggle to manage my time to complete my school requirements and do the work at home. I live with my aunt, and I need to do household chores as well. It is difficult for me to manage everything. It’s like the waves of the ocean pull me back from where I need to be, but like the turtle of the ocean, which represents resilience, adaptability, determination, and quiet strength, I endure everything and push forward with determination.

I adapt everything using the quiet strength that I have in me. The turtle seems slow, but it is wise and strong. Even when the waves of the ocean are so strong and difficult to overcome, I will keep fighting until I reach my goals. I will carry my dreams with me, just like how the turtle carries its shell.

"My spirit animal teaches me that success is not about being the smartest or the fastest, but about doing everything for our dreams and never giving up, no matter how hard life gets."

What do you think is the weirdest thing in your home?

As I walk through the front door of my family's house, filled with curiosity, I wonder why we have such a big house when only five family members live in it. As I step inside, I feel as if someone is watching me. One night, while my aunt, a policewoman, was cleaning her firearm, she lost focus when she saw something pass behind her and touch her waist. Suddenly, she loaded her firearm due to the distraction. That was the first strange incident I witnessed. At dawn, my eldest sister would wake up early to iron her uniforms. She would go in and out of the room when something strange would happen—she would find the door locked, even though she hadn't locked it. This strange occurrence didn't just happen once or twice but many times. However, the scariest experience was yet to come. On Saturday night, January 18, 2025, at 8 PM, our little Noah was playing when he suddenly made a loud noise. We told him to stop but he didn't listen. Then out of nowhere, we heard a deep voice...

"COLLEGE LIFE"

Many people say that college is one of the best times in a student's life, filled with new experiences, friendships, and opportunities. But for me, it is more than that. It is a test of endurance patience, and perseverance.  As a third year student pursuing a Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English, I have realized that success is not just about intelligence. But, it is about hard work, determination, and courage to keep pushing forward even when things get difficult. Unlike those who excel naturally in academics, I struggle with English vocabulary and speaking fluently. Sometimes, I feel like I am always trying to catch up with classmates who can express their thoughts effortlessly. But instead of letting this discourage me, I see it as a challenge. I make the effort to study harder and read more, and practice speaking despite my insecurities, because I knew that learning takes time, and and long as I do not give up, I will continue to improve.  Financial struggles h...
