People would sometimes tell me that I should just “stick to the status quo”.

Being a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, the journey has never been easy. Earning the degree itself took a lot of time, money, effort, sleep and energy. Other college students have month long summer breaks and semestral breaks but we only had a few days and the enrollment is already included on that “break” because we have to go to classes. We spent 4 years of our lives with little or no sleep and rest and there are those family occasions that we couldn’t go because we have school or we have hospital duty. It doesn’t end after getting the degree, we also have to prove ourselves worthy by taking licensure examinations. And of course, working in the laboratory, we work our asses off even if we get yelled by patients and doctors almost every day of our lives. Most of the time we tend to neglect our health just so we could attend to the needs of the patients and give them accurate and reliable results.

But don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I love what I do. It can get overwhelming but in all of the breakdowns, at the end of the day, i feel like a hero because i became a part of saving people’s lives.

And in all of that chaos, art has always been there to keep me sane. Taking photos ever since I was 10, winning competitions, i always do everything for fun and treated everything as a hobby. But deep inside me is a voice telling me that i have a gift. A gift that I could use to deliver a message to people. Promote awareness to people about certain issues, promote positivity and to help people become a better person. I want to inspire people, motivate them to strive harder, thrive in everything that we do.

People would sometimes tell me to just stick to my career in the medical field and forget about my “hobbies”. But why not do both? Why are we limiting ourselves into just one thing when we can be everything we want? I totally believe that we can be anything we want.

Yesterday was a big leap for me on my creative journey. I attended the Digital Global Summit #GuamTravelTalks with Anne. I spent two hours in anxiety before going to the venue but I am so glad I was able to make it because I learned alot of things and I was able to meet content creators that I look up to like Sam Kolder @samkolder, Laureen Uy @laureen and Daniel Del Carmen @_ddc. The fire in me has lit up and I can’t wait to create contents that will not just please people’s eyes but will also touch their hearts.

Lastly, I would like to thank Guam Visitors Bureau @visitguamusa for organizing this big event. I could have bought a signature branded stuff with the money but I chose to invest it on registering here because it’s an opportunity to widen my horizon and learn. The knowledge and experience i gained from this event is something that no one can take away from me.
