I show up every day, even when tired, care for my kids and home, and still create and inspire. I make the little moments feel special.
We would like to thank you for supporting Mary Antonette Magenta V. Pabillan in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.
I’ve been a stay at home mom since my first child was born, and it’s been almost 8 years now of pouring my time, love, and energy into raising my kids. Watching them grow into who they are, seeing their personalities, their kindness, and their confidence develop over time, reminds me every day that this role is so meaningful. Knowing that my love, care, and constant presence helped shape them is the most rewarding part of being a mom.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Motherhood has taught me a strength I never knew I had. Being a mom pushed me beyond my limits and showed me how strong I can be, even on the hardest days. It taught me patience, resilience, and how to keep going no matter what. Through every challenge and every moment, I’ve grown into a stronger version of myself, and I truly don’t think I would have discovered that strength if I didn’t become a mom.
What would you do with $20,000?If I win $20,000, I would take my family on a meaningful vacation and create special memories with my kids. Experiences like that mean so much to me. I would also save most of it for their college fund and their future, making sure they have support and opportunities as they grow. Being able to enjoy the moment while also planning ahead for them would be the perfect balance.
