00:00I always say, I'll just enjoy it.

00:02The next show will be successful as long as I love what the Lord has given me.

00:13Actually, I got to know Trudy Sleat first.

00:17But before that, I went to Ms. Uge's show in Watcha Makulit.

00:24Then, they tested me for The Last Prince.

00:30They saw that I can act.

00:33I was only 4 years old then, 5 years old.

00:35After that, I became Trudy Sleat.

00:37When I was younger, the showbiz industry was just a game to me.

00:45But when I was 2 years old, I really wanted to be an artist.

00:51I used to watch it on TV.

00:53Then, I told my parents that I wanted to be on TV.

00:56So, I've been manifesting it since I was young.

00:59I remember that on my 4th birthday, I said that I really wanted to be an artist.

01:08The next year, I became Trudy Sleat.

01:11Let's talk about the pressure.

01:16I went through an awkward stage.

01:18When I was 10 years old until I was 14 years old,

01:24it was hard for the producers and directors to give me roles.

01:30I didn't know if I was still a child or an adult.

01:34There was a time when I was really pressuring myself.

01:38I needed to improve.

01:40I needed to transition from a child star to a teen star.

01:47It was really hard for me.

01:49Until now, I'm still pressuring myself because

01:54Abot Kamay was very successful.

01:57I'm nervous for my next show.

02:00But I always say that I'll just enjoy it.

02:04I don't care if my next show will be successful.

02:08As long as I love the things that God has given me.

02:11To the young Jillian Ward,

02:13I can tell you that not everything is work.

02:19So, give time to your family and yourself.

02:24Because those are the most precious things in the world.

02:29Don't pressure yourself too much.

02:32Just enjoy your life.

02:34And always be grateful for what God has given you.
