The most rewarding part of being a mother is the unconditional love and deep bond we share with our children. It's in the quiet moments of trust, comfort, and love they express. Watching them grow and become unique individuals fill me with pride and fulfilment. Motherhood is about shaping their future-teaching values,guiding them through challenges, and empowering them to thrive. The joy of seeing them succeed, no matter the milestone, makes every sacrifice and sleepless nights worth it.

The most unforgettable memories I have with my children is everytime I leave Philippines after a month-long vacation. The pain, the gushing tears, the tight hugs and the heartbreak of leaving them behind, not knowing when will I be able to see them again, is a feeling no one can truly understand. It's all in exchange for the hope of giving them better future-and it never gets easier.The sacrifice I have to accept. But by God’s grace, the day came when we were finally to be together.

I would use the recognition and the $20,000 prize to create a lasting impact on both my family and my community. First, I will invest towards my children education. Next, I would dedicate a portion in supporting the less fortunate families back home by providing school supplies and bags of rice. It may not much, but I known it will bring smiles and hope, reminding them to never give up on their dreams, because everyone deserves one.
