My Life

Every one of us has our own dreams as well as goals and techniques in how to achieve such goals. In order to fulfill it, we have to follow some procedures that we have learned while growing.
I am Scarlette Angel Meneses,19 year old and currently working to the company named Spectrum Blue Steel. I'm on my training now.

I grew with my grandmother because my parents separated when I was 1 year old. After leaving my mother,my father decided to stay in the United States of America for good.
I grew up alone.

Within that 18 years,I've experienced a lot of things in my life. The most unforgettable experience I have is when I was 6 years old when my eye got hit by a stick. That's the saddest part of my life because I needed my parents that time but all I can lean on was my grandmother. We don't have enough money to support my needs in the hospital that's why I haven't got it fixed until now. I blamed my father that time because I'm sure it wouldn't have happened if he was there.

When I was growing up,my grandmother made a lot of effort just to send me in school to get some education. It has been so hard for her that when I reached college it was my aunt who financed it. But still it wasn't enough.I took up Bachelor of Science in Nursing and it costs a lot so I stopped. I shifted to another course which is cheaper but still we encountered financial problems so I decided to stop and hunt a job.I should be in my 3rd year now.

But finding a job is not easy especially for me. It is so hard in my part because of my background. I spent more than 2 months applying for job in different establishments but still there wasn't any response. But I didn't lose hope. I know there is still a job intended for me and finally I was able to work in a restaurant.

During my first day of work, I was so nervous I don't know what to do. I was crying that time and I told myself if only I have graduated my course, I won't be doing such kind of work. But I was also lucky that time because I met Ronald Flynn who then helped me.

And now, I'm still in the journey of my life. I can't say I reached all my dreams because there is still a lot lacking. First of all, I wanted to get my eye fixed. Then I want to meet my father in person. I want to be with him even for a while. I just want to know how it feels like to have a father. Finally, I want to have a degree in college.

I wish i could reach it all. I know it's hard so I'm praying I could have at least one of it. That will be the time I could say to myself that finally, I succeed.
