I was very interested and passionate in airplanes. but i realized that the financial fee is very tremendously big! my parents told me they will support me in my goals and dreams. I really felt happy and sad at the same time because i knew the truth that we had no money. Fortunately, my father introduced me Philippine Military Academy (PMA). since then, i fell inlove with military and was drived to join the airforce.
I had to stop 1 year of my college school to focus on my entrance exam. I reviewed whenever i had the chance to review. many of us we're already at the exam site, 4 am. I prayed to God He'll help me. Nevertheless, I failed my first entrance exam. factually, many examinees failed because it was amidst the pandemic. and out of 30,000 examinees. only 200-400 was admitted. The pressure started to flood in.
At this time, i was already a first year and an upcoming second year taking I.T course with a Web development major. but i had to divide my units in half to work as a full-time time to provide for myself and also to give time to review for my entrance exam. so basically i was doing 3 things at the same time! -- but it's that moment that i have learned a lesson from life.
I was very sleep deprived. In the morning my brain was always at a vacation meanwhile my body was always at 10%. -- but when it is night, my mind and body acts as if they're like rick and morty at my optimum performance.
But i broke down. I was not able to do all those 3 tasks in 100 %. slowly by slowly, i prioritized my job over my Schooling. I then prioritized my reviewing responsibility over my job and when my entrance exam day came. My supervisor did not let me had a day off and on top of that he gave me overtime because costumers was too many and they needed their "asset" on the station. -- that was before the day of my exam which resulted me only 1hr of sleep and barely reviewed for the exam day.
I had three priorities. But in times of hardships i started to sacrifice each of them to prioritize which of which within of those "priorities". I am determined to give a third try until no more chances. But I realized that time is running out. I'm already close to graduation and in my college days and my parents are growing old. i have to give up and pivot my focus on this career.
