โ€œFull of Failures can mean full of successโ€

Bismillahi Rrahmani Rrahim. All praises and thanks are due to Allah (s.w.t) the Almighty, the Victory Giver and Ever Provider. Blessings and peace be upon his last prophet our beloved Muhammad (s.a.w). We ask Allah (s.w.t) to bless him and his entire households, his companions and all those who supported him since the day one. We also ask the Almighty to bless us and our families. Ameen.

โ€œFull of Failures can mean full of successโ€ this is what life taught me as I journey towards my dream. If you fail yesterday, keep on trying today and if youโ€™re going to fail today, again keep on doing tomorrow because success is not a chance, it is a choice. Hence, if you want to succeed, choose to succeed.

I am Sittie Airah Farida AbdulHalim and here is the story how I choose to succeed–some of my memorable experience in life. Experience that serve to illustrate that problems and failures are not at all times really problems and failures. Sometimes they just occur to make us stronger to find the right path and to take that path even more wisely and intelligently.

Back when I was in elementary, my parents got separated. At naghiwalay sila nung malapit na ang graduation ko sa Grade 6. Graduation day is actually a celebration of success, right? But during that time victory is not for me because I failed. I failed of having a complete and happy family on the day of my graduation. I know that I will fail of having a proud dad on my left side and a mom on my right side in the awarding part of the ceremony and that is why I decided not to attend my own graduation day despite of the fact that I belonged to the honored students. Yes, I am a product of a broken family. I became an emotionally disturbed person for a short period of time but I learnt to move on and I didnโ€™t surrender in hoping for my dreams. And that is because of my mom. My mom filled the emptiness of my life and gave everything to me. She became my doctor in a sense that she cure all my pains; my lawyer because she was always ready to fight for my rights when others hurt me; my teacher who taught me when to fight and when to surrender. My mother was my best friend because she was always there to listen to my unending stories and lastly my mother is the person who is ready to sacrifice everything just for me. My mother is such a superwoman, isnโ€™t she? But you know what, my mom also left me. She died after my graduation day in high school and during that time, I felt so hopeless and empty. I failed again. But I didnโ€™t surrender not because Iโ€™m strong enough but because I know I need to. With the support of my aunts and uncles and other family members, I continued my studies. I entered the gate of Philippine Muslim Teachersโ€™ College with all the braveness and motivation that my past experience in life gave me. Yes, I felt the bitterness of failure but now I became a driven person ready to achieve her dreams. Well in fact, I already achieved one of my greatest dreams and that is to TOP THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS.

If thereโ€™s one thing that I learned from my past, it is that life is full of challenges, problems, struggles and troubles and facing them is a hard thing and it will become harder if you are going to face them without Allah (s.w.t.) As long as nandyan si God, kakayanin natin ang lahat.

Again, I am Sittie Airah โ€œCTโ€ Farida AbdulHalim, a topnotcher, a teacher and Iโ€™m very proud to say that I am CERTIFIED TATAK CBRC! Thank you CBRC for being my ROADMAP towards my dreams.
