my I am Statements

I’m Jessica and I wish to be the heroine that I’m not: beautiful and clever. The statement tells how I look at myself: I’m not beautiful and clever so I’m not fitted to be a heroine that a hero would protect and love. But I am a daughter, learner, supporter, dreamer and prayer.

I am a daughter with a happy heart when my family is happy, with a helping hand that is more than willing to make things easier for them and with gentle words to encourage them whenever they feel that all hope is lost. An “ate”, a “pamangkin”, and an apo for my brother, aunt and grandmother that is always there for them.

I am a learner. I am a student. More than the grades, I’m looking forward to learn to become better and to understand more than to know. I am a self- proclaimed “God’s Scholar” and it is my greatest fear to disappoint Him or for Him to ever think that I am not worthy for His grace.

I am a supporter (or people used to call a “Fan”). I am a proud seven-year supporter of the local band “Sponge Cola”; so long that somehow they’ve become my identity. Their influence in me range from my interest in English, poetry, music, movies, books to the course I’d taken up. I think the supporter me is also a lifetime.

I am a dreamer. To be one- inch behind the microphone or for the name in the by-line. Doubts, discouragements and fear would always be there but I used to tell myself “Just Do It!” Do it with all your heart. I believe that it’s a God-given dream so I’ll fight for it.

I am a prayer. I can’t imagine being a daughter, learner, supporter and dreamer without asking for God’s guidance, my life basically depended and depends on it.

I am Jessica. Regarding being a heroine? I’ll be. For in my story with God as my hero… I am clever, I am beautiful…
