“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”

Hi i’m Alliah Merylle Cloma Bernaldez, born on April 4, 2003, i’m 16 years of age turning 17 this year. I live in Tapayas Balatan Camarines Sur. My parents are Rosano Tangilon Bernaldez and Asteria Cloma Bernaldez. I have a sister her name is Soffia Jane Cloma Bernaldez. My father is working as an OFW in Dubai and my mother is a simple housewife that is taking care of us. When i was i kid i used to go outside playing all the “larong pinoy”, and that childhood days are things that i can be proud of coz kids nowadays are only focused on their gadgets.
As time goes by I feel like I am losing my self esteem and i cant really avoid that. Everytime i see other girls i say “uyy ang ganda naman niya” “sana ol talented” that kind of stuffs. But then I have this friends that always support me and by them i’m contented of what i am. For those people who are comparing their selves, don’t be because God created you as his masterpiece and all of his masterpiece are beautiful therefore you are beautiful.
“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.”– Maya Angelou
As i grow Life has been uneasy but I am trying to be strong. So far I’ve been on my journey with the people I value the most. But the real battle started when I stepped into highschool life, experiencing new things like going to new school, having a new friend, and adjusting to new environment. More and more challenges came into my life. I was forced to hide what I truly want. But even these challenges try to break me, I know it wouldn’t stop me because I have my family and my friends to support me for the rest of my life.As long as I can, no one can cut me down.
The real reason that I’m fighting until now is because of the people that are counting on me. The people that I can’t let down. I know it won’t be easy but I know I can do it, i can do it so i will do it.
I chose the song Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson because it talks about not giving up on your dreams even everything seems so dark. It tells us to be smart and brave. Reaching up dreams and doing what our hearts want may not be easy but when you achieve it, it gonna be worth it.
