“Through experiences and places that you’ve been, you identify who you really are”.
Hi everyone! I’m Jessel Roldan Zaballero. 18 years of age
and a student of Aklan State University – Banga Campus taking up Bachelor of
Science in Accountancy. I’m from the Vibrant Municipality of Kalibo!
Wanna know me more?
So, let me tell you the adventure of my life. J
Knowing myself on who really I am puts me into a deep
thought about myself in my 18 years of existence. There’s a lot of changes
happens as the time passes by. Those changes makes me identify who really I am,
it helps me to discover some characters and everything hidden inside me. It
builds me up and it also makes me a better person than I was before.
Way back on my childhood years, I’m just like the typical
kid who doesn’t care what’s happening around the world, but not like the other
kids, I don’t talk to my seatmates in school and I don’t like talking to anyone
who’s with me. They used to call me as “quite kid”. I really felt so weak
during those years. I’ve been an introverted one. This continued until I
graduated in elementary and stopped when I was in my Junior High School years.
Entering Junior High was the moment when I discovered my
potentials. I see myself grow. Those potentials that I had came out by the help
of those school activities where I participated in. I discovered some people
who believed in my capabilities. It changed me into a different person. During
those years I believed in myself and all I want is to make my parents proud,
but being studious and focused on school activities puts me away from fun of
being a teenager. Most of my peers had their boyfriends and hanging out with their
friends on their vacant times. Me, the cycle of my life is home, school, and
home and school because my father used to bring and fetch me in school every
day. I’ve been an ignorant regarding those teenage things and never craves for
it.
Suddenly, a new environment came into my life. It opened my eyes, mind and of course myself into the real world we were living in. It brought me to some places that I’ve never been before and let me experience new things. I entered Senior High School into an Institution where everything was open which exposed me to new things. Those are the times when I knew the right and wrong and learned how to decide on my own. This is also the first time I went to school without bring and fetching by my father. Yes, during those times, I enjoyed my teenage years. It taught me how to be independent and to be flexible. It was an environment that trained me and molded me to become competitive and better person that I’ve never been before.
Today, I know who really I am. Those experiences and places
that I’ve been made me a better person. From introverted one to ambiverted one,
from weak to strong, from quite kid to competitive lady. I had a lot of friends
which I cherish everyday not like before, I play alone. It made me discover my
strengths and weaknesses and turn my weaknesses into strengths.
Its funny to think how far the me before from the me that I see today. I know many things will change as the time passes by and many things will I go through in my journey. The important thing is that you are aware on what’s happening and what changes happen to yourself day by day so that you will know yourself more.
That’s all for today everyone! J Thanks for reading. Stay
