✨MY JOURNAL BEFORE I FOUND ELITES EMPIRE ✨
Before I met the Elites Empire community, I spent 25 beautiful years serving as teacher in different institutions. Teaching has always been my passion, and looking back, every step of my journey prepared me for who I am today 👩🏫🔥
Right after passing the Teacher’s Licensure Exam, I grabbed the opportunity to teach at ERDA Foundation, where I stayed for 3 years. I accepted the job not for the salary, but for experience-my stepping stone to become a stronger and better educator. 🪜💪👩🏫
After ERDA Foundation, I served in the DSWD Daycare Center for 13 fulfilling years. While teaching the little ones, I also pusued my masteral education. It was not easy working while studying at the same time , but my desire to grow kept me going. 💪📚✨
When I finally completed my masteral, I tried my luck in DepEd-and by God’s grace, I was accepted as a Secondary Education Teacher. At first I was assigned to teach MAPEH, a subject outside my major. It was a challenge because I always felt I wasn’t the right teacher to handle it. But I embraced the task and learned the 4 components of MAPEH-Music, Arts, Physical Education,and Health.🎼🎭⚕️✨
And then one day, after 3 years, our Principal called me to teach Mathematics, my true love and my major. I can still remember the happiness I felt-that feeling of answered prayers. 🙏💫
I entered Deped at 52 years old, and during my first 5 years in teaching high school. I learned so much. But as time passed, reality began to sink in…I’m not getting any younger. Whether I like it or not, at 65, we teachers must retire. And that thought worried me.👵
I asked myself:
👉 “What will I do next after retirement?”
👉 “How will I support myself, my medicine and my
needs?”
👉 “I don’t want to become a burden to my family.”
I know many teachers can relate to this. We love our profession so much, yet we fear the day we need to stop teaching. 👩🏫❤️
And then, one ordinary day while scrolling my phone, I accidentally saw a post from Jacel Morata, my former classmate in masteral days. Curiosity pushed me to message him and ask how…
At first I was hesitant to join Elites Empire. My family didn’t believe in networking-lalo na daming scammers. And they say it’s too good to be true. Honestly, I couldn’t blame them. I also didn’t know what business to start. I didn’t want to open a sari-sari store because it would be too tiring, and I knew it wouldn’t be good for my health. 😅⚕️
Before retiring, I was hospitalized and found out that I had heart failure. I even underwent an angiogram to check if my arteries were clogged. Thank God, everything was clear, but the doctor told me that my heart is naturally weak. Hearing that was difficult for me…and it made me realize that I needed a source of income that woudn’t exhaust me physically. 💔🌿
That’s when I decided to message my upline again. I asked more about the business, deep inside, I felt that maybe-just maybe-this was the answer I had been praying for. I promised my upline that I would join. 🤝
My family was against my decision. They were worried. They didn’t understand. But I knew in my heart that I didn’t have any options left. And I don’t want my money na masayang lang sa mga bagay na hind naman kailangan. I realized that if I didn’t use my money the right way, mauubos lang ito nang wala akong napapala.💸
I told myself, “Kung gagastos din ako, mas mabuti nang sa opportunity na may potential, kaysa sa mga bagay na hindi magbibigay ng future sa akin.” That became my turning point. I knew I needed something that could grow, something that could support me even as I age, and something I could do without exhausting myself. 💸👵💫
Kaya kahit maraming doubts, kahit may takot, kahit walang suporta sa simula…I still chose to invest in myself and in this business. Because sometimes, the only person who needs to believe in your future-is YOU. 💪🙏🔥✨
