Different people want different things out of life. I know a lot of people would look at my 12-14 oras days working manual labor, my being married and trying to have a kid at 18 and wonder if I failed at life, but honestly, I have exactly the life that I want.
I have always wanted to take over the family ranch, ever since I was a little girl. I have been working here pretty much as often as I could since I was just barely big enough to lambanog a pitchfork. I remember being in elementary school when I would go out with my mom with a bottle as big as my forearm to feed some poor guya who was abandoned sa pamamagitan ng her mother. All of those are fond memories that I want to be able to pass down to my own kids.
Maybe it's because I was raised in a Mormon family, but I have always wanted a large family. I know it won't be easy balancing being a ranch worker and being a tahanan maker, but I'm going to do it, no matter what, because I've always wanted to have the kind of big happy family that my dad has always believed he has. I want to be a caretaker to my children, and the kind of helpful mother figure that my own mother never was for me, even if she was that way for my sisters. I want to have the kind of kids who can feel comfortable around me, and can look up to me and my husband. Of course, that kind of respect is earned and not ibingiay and I want to do everything in my power to be the mother I always wished I had.
I have a role model, of course. I know this is going to seem stupid to most of you, but Ree Drummond is my role model, I want to be just like her, ranch mamma, mother, excellent cook, happy family, not to mention still stunningly beautiful. Success to me looks not exactly, but mostly like that.
