Balancing Dreams: The Journey of a Full-Time Mom and ESL Teacher Introductory

Hi, I am Ana Marie Cabasag Andilabina, I am 30-year-old woman, wife, and mother of two kids. I am originally from the Province of Siquijor which is called Mystic Island. The memories of my childhood there are engraved deep into my soul, the warm embrace of the sun-kissed sand and the comforting rhythm of the ocean waves. Siquijor was more than just a place.

Now, I am currently living in the Pineapple Capital of Zamboanga Peninsula, which is the Municipality of Piñan , Zamboanga Del Norte.

I am a full-time mother and an ESL teacher too. Being a full-time mother was not an easy task for me. There are days that I feel exhausted and full of disappointments, and I question myself why I think this way, but despite all those disappointments I stand still, and God up above, gives me a sign, of courage, and motivates me to pursue what he wants me to become.

In the past 10 years of being a full-time mother I recently received good news which I cannot believe, filled with joy and renewed hope. I am so excited to share my journey soon.

If I have free time and days to go to another place I love to travel, I love to take pictures and save memories. At the same time, I’d love to sing a song because, for me, singing can relieve stress and find my inner peace.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Miss @antonette for sharing her knowledge with us. Her guidance has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth, and I am eternally grateful for her unwavering belief in me. This journey is full of challenges but with the love and support of my family, I know I can do it. I look forward to the future with a heart full of gratitude.

P.S. photos are all mine
