Chasing Butterflies : Navigating Dreams and Growth with Grace

 

    In the vibrant tapestry of life, where dreams flutter like butterflies, I am Rhaeanne Jem Garcia, a 14-year-old student at Ilocos Sur National High School. My mother, Margie Rigucera Garcia, is a teacher, and my father, Redentor C. Garcia, works for Partas. I am the youngest of three siblings. My life is a blend of youthful ambition and family warmth, where every challenge is met with determination and hope.

    You might be wondering how I am as a person, I am not really fond of public speaking since I am not that comfortable speaking in front of many people. Although I am approachable and can easily adapt with people who talks to me and tries to have a bond with me. Nevertheless, I can be talkative with people I am close with. In facing challenges, I really don't give up easily but sometimes,  I easily get tired or loose motivation in the things I do but I don't take that as a queue to give up. I am a cheerful person with my friends and my family. I am also sensitive and easily get affected by my emotions. Most of the time, I like being alone doing my hobbies and interests. But, I also like being with my companions. My hobbies are watching movies and K-dramas, specifically medical ones. I also enjoy playing mobile games such as call of Duty Mobile. For my interests, I often get easily swayed by various things. I tend to find even the smallest details charming and have an appreciation for anything in the color purple. I love being in nature and have a special affection for cats, as I find them really cute. And, as per my title, yes, I like butterflies, they captivate me with their delicate beauty and vibrant colors.

    To enjoy life, it’s important to see the beauty in everything and stay optimistic. I always strive to stay positive to cope with difficulties and reduce stress. And that is what I always try to do in order for me to cope with difficulties and struggles. Taking things easy and positively helps me reduce the pressure I feel in things I do. I don't overthink myself with failure and instead, I will think of solutions for the problems that I may encounter. It is also important to think of the positive outcome of our goals, that despite encountering many problems, all of our hard work will pay off in the end and everything we did will serve as our lessons. In order to take things positively, it is also important to have confidence which I lack in. Nevertheless, I take advices to do things with confidence. It is hard for me to communicate with a lot of people since that is one of my fears. But I calm myself with the pressure I feel and think of the things that I want to achieve for me to adjust and cope with it because at the end of a day, there’s someone who's proud of me and whose presence feels like a warm, peaceful escape, bringing a sense of calm and happiness in my mind and heart.

    As student, I am really passionate in my studies. Being an achiever was a part of me since I was young. Although my mother’s career as a teacher once inspired me, my interest has shifted to the medical field. Watching medical dramas also sparked my interest with medicine. Thats why I study hard to be a successful nurse or doctor someday. I am still unsure of continuing my path being a doctor, but a thing for sure is I want to work in the medical field. I want to be successful someday and pay my parents hard work with my success and achievements.
