My Best friend's Testimony
I interviewed a girl named, Shemaiah Francisco. She was a loving girl that grew up with her grandparents ever since she was a child. Her grandparents serves as the greatest blessing that God has given to her for they played an important role in her life, they’re the ones who fulfilled the love and joy that she didn’t feel with her parents, and who supported her in everything she do even from the start.
Shemaiah wants to pay back for what her grandparents have done to her, she is focusing on her studies and making her grandparents proud. She joined a lot of extracurricular activities, and is also active in her ACADS.
When you see her, you might think that she has a strong personality, and that she can do things without being doubtful or confused by herself.
But no, most of the time she doubt herself to think that maybe she’ll do a mistake, and when she found out of what everyone else thought, she gets confused. There’s a time that she wants to give up and thinking to do nothing, because she thought that she can’t manage her time and do the two things at the same time, (ACADS and extracurricular activities) but still, she’s fighting for her dreams and especially for her grandparents, knowing that God is beside her.
I just want to raise awareness to every student who’s experiencing the same way she feels, that we should not give up and just hold on to our dreams. Trust in the Lord, and also it says in the bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Everything happens for a reason, and anything happens for good.
Believe in yourself! Enjoy the moment because you only live once. Just hold on to God, and trust His process.
