Pursuing Dreams from Afar: A Mother's Journey to Empower Her Children

 When I made the life-altering decision to move to Dubai and work as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW), I embarked on a journey driven by a profound sense of purpose and responsibility. The distance between me and my children, though challenging, has only strengthened my resolve to provide them with opportunities I never had in my own childhood. This journey is not merely about securing a better financial future; it is about becoming a source of inspiration and a role model for my daughters. 





 Growing up, I faced numerous hardships and lacked many of the comforts and opportunities that many take for granted. My experiences taught me resilience and the value of hard work, but they also ignited a deep desire to ensure that my children would have a different path—one filled with opportunities and possibilities that I could only dream of. By coming to Dubai, I am not only working to provide for my family but also to create a legacy of perseverance and success. 


 The aspiration to offer my children a better life is at the heart of my decision to pursue further education. I have set a goal to obtain a degree, an achievement that I believe will not only enhance my professional prospects but also serve as a powerful example for my daughters. I want them to witness firsthand the dedication and effort required to achieve one's goals, regardless of the obstacles. In my view, education is not just a personal accomplishment but a beacon of hope and inspiration for those who look up to me. 


 Despite the physical distance, my aim is to bridge the gap through the strength of my example. I want my daughters to see that their mother is not just working hard for their immediate needs but is also investing in her own growth and development. This pursuit of a degree is a testament to my commitment to self-improvement and my belief in the importance of lifelong learning. I hope that by observing my journey, they will be encouraged to chase their own dreams with the same fervor and determination. 


 Moreover, my work and academic endeavors in Dubai are a testament to the sacrifices I am willing to make for their future. Each day I spend away from them is filled with the knowledge that I am working towards a greater purpose—giving them the tools and opportunities to succeed. I want them to grow up in an environment where they understand the value of education, hard work, and the importance of pursuing one’s passions. 


 In essence, my decision to work abroad and pursue a degree is not just a personal ambition; it is a mission to lay a foundation for my children's future. I aspire for them to become strong, confident, and capable individuals, equipped to navigate their own paths in life. My hope is that they will see their mother’s journey not just as a sacrifice, but as a source of motivation and a blueprint for achieving their own dreams. 


 Through this experience, I aim to impart a crucial lesson: that no matter where life takes you, the pursuit of your goals and the dedication to personal growth can make a significant impact. My ultimate wish is for my children to be inspired by my journey and to carry forward the values of perseverance and ambition in their own lives.
