Once
upon a time there was a little girl named Rachel Camille Martinez who believed
she was a princess. And yes, that’s me. I am the youngest daughter of Mr.
Raymundo and Mrs. Rhodora Martinez. My mommy and daddy are the best. They are
very strong and I’m very happy that they’re my parents. I have two siblings;
they are Raymond Michael and Roxanne Bernadette; I have the best siblings ever even though I fight with them a lot.
I was born on a warm, sunny day in
July 14, 1998 at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Mandaluyong City at 8:25am. I
started school when I was five years-old at Evelyn Learning Center of nursery
with an award of Most Obedient and Most Neat. Then I transferred at Virgin Del
Pilar Learning Center for my kindergarten with an award in Best in drawing and
Best in Mass Attendance and etc. I would never forget the quote Julia Child
made, an American chef, author, and television personality, that “The measure
of achievement is not winning awards. It’s doing something that you appreciate,
something you believe is worthwhile.”
I am sociable, jolly, expressive,
active and sweet person. I also like making friends. When I went to High
School, I was always elected as an officer in our class. Then I would always
join many clubs such as Student Council, Music Club, Majorette and Flag lets
Club. I would always have the president or vice president position in some
clubs. I had so much time for other things that I forget to take care of
myself. I pushed myself to hard. So I told myself, in college I shall stay
calm. I also love to teach kids, I would always make time for them. They mean everything to me.
But now, I didn’t expect that I
would still be involved in a presidential position. I told myself that I’m just
going to join the APC String, here in our school at Asia Pacific College, so I
can still do my passion and have fun; But I never thought that they would
choose me to be the president or vice next school year. Like in a college
organization? Oh my gosh, I’m so nervous and happy at the same time.
I have many goals in my life; they say that the ultimate goal of life is
happiness. What could make us happy is different from one another. I may be
happy when I am with my friends but others prefer being alone: some would go to
distant places while many would be happy drinking coffee with their love ones
at home; most people would want to be rich and famous unlike a few who would
want to live in a simple life. So, we set different goals just to be happy. I
have my own goals in life which I think will make me happy in the future and
even today while I am still preparing myself for my dreams.
My dreams are to do all the things
that I have not yet done in my life such as going to other countries, meet my
idols, going out of town with my friends only, to fly on an airplane, to go to
the beach with my friends then we will sit and watch the sunset and sunrise, to
touch a polar bear and many more. There so many things that I want to do, some
of them may seem impossible but there is nothing wrong in dreaming.
All I want to achieve is true
happiness with my family, friends and love ones. In the end, I just want to be
who I am a simple, loving, pretty girl. I just want to follow God’s will for
me. I know God will help me reach my goals because He wants me to be happy.
However, if I will not be able to achieve all my goals and dreams then that
would be God’s will. He has plan for me and that will make me ultimately happy.
When we try hard to
pursue or plans and aspire, we will meet our dreams mortal enemy: Limitations.
Limitations tell us that we “cannot” and we “will not.” Each of us has
limitations and they usually prevent us from believing ourselves. They pull us
down until we give up standing and fighting for our dreams. Our limitations do
not define who we are but they are a good measure of our heart. Are we brave
enough to push our limits until we reach the boundaries of failure? Are we
humble enough to accept every failure is a stepping stone for our success? I
know that I am not that tall. This is my limitation but this is not who I am. I
am more than my height and my faith is bigger than my limitation.
So yeah, this is me; a small girl in
a big world, who inevitably found someone to love.
