The Greatest Achievement of My Life: My Daughters

As a proud parent, I can confidently say that my daughter's greatest achievement is also a personal triumph for me. As a single mom, I know that perfection is an unattainable ideal that many of us strive for but rarely achieve. It's important to acknowledge that we all have our flaws and imperfections, and that's okay. I, for one, am not one to feign perfection. Despite the challenges that come my way, I strive to give my all each and every day.




In today's society, there is an expectation placed upon women, especially single parent, to not only fulfill the role of mother, but to do so with unwavering dedication as if it were their sole occupation. On the one hand, there is an expectation that we maintain the same level of productivity as if we were childless. As a discerning individual, I choose to disregard this matter entirely. As a conscientious parent, I readily acknowledge that I am not infallible. Nevertheless, I consistently strive to provide my children with the utmost care and attention.




Motherhood is no walk in the park, and anyone who suggests otherwise is simply not being truthful. As a devoted mother, I embrace the valuable lessons that come from my experiences and cherish the wisdom imparted by my beloved children. While I may not be perfect, I always prioritize the well-being of my loved ones in every decision I make.

Experience the joys of motherhood even before you hold your little one in your arms. The moment I discovered I was pregnant, I embraced the beautiful journey of motherhood. It was a pivotal moment when I began to prioritize my baby's well-being through thoughtful decision-making. By prioritizing my health and wellness, I ensured that my little one received the best possible start in life. Ensuring the health of my newborn and providing them with unwavering affection were my topmost concerns.

I made a conscious decision to prioritize self-care, knowing that only by nurturing myself could I effectively care for those around me. Enriched with love, my heart overflows, ready to be bestowed upon my precious children. Their smiles give my life purpose. Witnessing their growth and exploration of the world is a captivating experience. Their unconditional love is the most valuable thing in my life, and in return, I cherish it deeply.

The transformative power of motherhood is undeniable. As one matures, it becomes apparent that the true joys in life are found in the small moments. The ability to appreciate simple pleasures is a sign of wisdom and contentment. There's nothing quite like the feeling of waking up after a truly restful night's sleep. The appreciation for such a simple pleasure cannot be overstated. As a parent, it's not uncommon to experience sleepless nights when our children require our attention during the wee hours. Such nights can be challenging and leave us feeling drained the next day. As one reflects on their personal growth, a crucial realization is the acceptance of imperfection. It is a fundamental lesson that we all must learn: that it is perfectly fine not to be flawless.

In fact, the pursuit of perfection is not something that I desire. As a conscientious individual, I consistently strive to perform at my highest level. As human beings, we all experience moments of frustration that can lead to a loss of temper. In such instances, it is important to take a step back and practice mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing and counting to regain composure. Regardless of the number, the act of counting can serve as a helpful tool for managing emotions and promoting a sense of calm. Such is the nature of motherhood. As a busy parent, the daily struggle of meal planning and time management can be overwhelming. It's not uncommon to find oneself throwing together a quick bowl of cereal and a toasted sandwich spread before rushing off to school or work. Despite our best efforts, it can be difficult to comprehend how other families seem to effortlessly manage their schedules. The elusive quest for more hours in the day remains a constant challenge.




As parents, there is no greater achievement than witnessing our children accomplish their life goals. Witnessing your children take the stage to receive their diplomas and awards is an incredibly gratifying experience for parents. It's a culmination of all the ups and downs we've faced throughout the years.




Experience the joy of parenthood with two diligent children who are committed to their studies. Experience the pride of a lifetime as I witness my eldest daughter take center stage to receive her well-deserved Latin merit from the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood major in Home Economics as Magna Cum Laude at the prestigious University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP). Introducing the impressive academic achievements of my youngest, a distinguished Dean's Lister of the esteemed USeP College of Information and Computing Science, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Library and Information Science (BLIS). 

I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and support of my parents. Despite my initial lack of knowledge, their wisdom and assistance have been a true blessing from above. Thank you, God. Despite my early marriage and my separation from my husband, my family has always been there to support me and fill in the gaps in my parenting journey.




In a remarkable turn of events, I am pleased to say that the lines of communication between my husband and I have been restored to a state of normalcy. After much deliberation and heartfelt discussions, my partner and I have reached a decision that holds immense significance for our family's future: we have chosen to embark on the journey of co-parenting our beloved children. While the prospect of rekindling our relationship may be off the table, it is imperative that we prioritize the well-being of our two young adults above all else.

Sending out a huge congratulations to my beloved daughters, Mikaela and Chelsea, for their amazing achievements! Let's all celebrate their hard work and dedication together! ❤️🎉 #ProudMom #GirlPower #AchievementUnlocked
