Oh my. You have a burden to carry, @volleyren20. You are trying to achieve something important and launch your career, and meanwhile you are trying to keep your parents happy.

This part really tugged at my heart!

Then, I tried joining the Teachers Rankings, and for the second time around, I was unlucky. I had anxiety attacks that almost kill me. In addition to that, my mother will always give a frank sermons, comparing me with my other batch mates, and with my cousins that are on DepEd already.

You will get there. Never give up! I'm so glad you have music you love. It can really help us get through the hard times in life.
