Strength of a Young Woman

August 13, 2007

 

Our examination was cancelled today because the employees of the school were required to attend the holy mass for the death anniversary of the founder of our school. Instead of hanging out in the mall anywhere else, I had a meeting with some prospect business partners.

There was an instance when one of them asked me some personal questions regarding my family, studies and lovelife.

How old are you agian?

Twenty

How's your mom?

She's working in England right now and i guess she's fine.

She had a high position before, right?

Yes, but her income is not enough for our needs

Where's your dad?

Up there.

What do you mean?

He's dead for like.. three years.

How many siblings do you have?

I have a younger sibling named Carlo and he's autistic.

Can you handle the responsibilities?

I have to - I have no choice and I have a big dream.

What are your plans after you graduate?

Be an employee in a web company and be my own boss in my own business

Is that possible?

Mahirap, pero posible.

When are you graduating?

This October. I am actually doing my thesis - solo.

What?

I am actually doing my thesis-solo

Still have extra-curricular activites?

I had a lot last year, but i only have one right now.

You can still handle it?

Of course I can.

Still have time to do other stuff?

Yes - i blog

Regularly?

Yes.

How about your lovelife?

I have none - SSB here.

SSB?

Single Since Birth.

Maybe you intimidate these fellas

You think so? Are you intimidated right now?

YES

After sitting at the hotseat trying to answer their questions truthfully, I realized that indeed, I am a woman now.

I can now manage to do some tasks that seems to be impossible for some…

How did i actually manage to stand tall despite of all the challenges specifically in my family?

How did i leave a mark in school?

How did i took the risk of entering  business when i don't have any background about it?

I think this woman needs to find her man soon haha :)

Well, cheers for finding that man soon. ;)

Seriously though, I admire you for juggling all those responsibilities. I don’t know what I could have done if I was in your place. And the fact that you seem to be coping well says a lot about you. You’re not just any woman. :)

Good luck!
