I am Cielyn, 29 years old. I got married at the age of 20. Life was tough so as I. Every time I break down and think of quitting I always go back to my core-my reasons to continue.
I have been married for almost nine years but don’t have our own house. We always transfer from one place to another and another. I and my husband work so hard to meet ends meet. We try to sell different goods online like snacks (kakanin), fish, ready to wear clothes and even cook different deserts and we deliver it our costumers door-to-door.
Now I came back to teaching online since I started this last 2018 yet I stop because I am only renting an equipment that time and I wasn't able to really have a stable income to sustain the needs of the family since I am also study that time. Now my husband is still some small side hustle like cooking and selling chili garlic oil online.
This is the old abandoned house of my mother and father-in-law. I and my husband decided to do a simple renovation of this. With the helping hands of my father and my husband's father soon we can transfer here.
Now we are slowly building our own house. It might not be that big and it's still only made from light materials like bamboo yet I am still proud because I know that this is because of God's provision and our hard work. We will keep doing this for the family that we are building too-for our daughter. Life might tough sometimes but I know we also have a strong bond that remains resilient to whatever battles we might face. Through His guidance we know we will succeed.
This is my journey that aims to inspire you to be resilient and work hard. I give credits to you @antonette for always pushing to be in this field. I now have the courage to share my stories with the hopes that I can influence others too.
