00:00Okay, I read something on your profile.
00:02What did you read?
00:04She said that she's self-sufficing, independent.
00:07She's living for herself.
00:11You said that your mother abandoned you.
00:14Abandoned me?
00:15Yes.
00:16Actually, my mom told me to go to school.
00:22My mom doesn't work anymore
00:27because she used to have cancer.
00:31So, I wanted to educate myself.
00:37I see.
00:38How did she let you go?
00:41Your mom couldn't take it anymore because she was sick.
00:44Yes.
00:45She was seriously ill so she couldn't educate herself.
00:47Didn't your dad or stepfather help you?
00:51No.
00:52My dad passed away.
00:55My stepfather and I weren't that close.
00:59My older brother supported me but I didn't let him.
01:03I wanted to educate myself.
01:09I wanted to be inspired to educate myself.
01:12You wanted to pursue it.
01:14Yes.
01:15How old were you when you decided to educate yourself?
01:21I was 18.
01:23I was a varsity player.
01:26I didn't have to play.
01:27What sport did you play?
01:28Basketball.
01:30Basketball.
01:31I was looking for an opponent.
01:33Join us at the Barraco Festival.
01:35Sure.
01:36Is it on February 15?
01:38Yes.
01:39Next week.
01:40It's true that there are a lot of students who want to study
01:44but they can't continue because they can't send their kids to school.
01:49But if you use your skills and talents, you can become a scholar.
01:54Other scholars are choir members or singers.
01:58We hear that term a lot.
02:00Athletes.
02:01Yes.
02:02But how hard was it for you to provide for yourself at an early age?
02:10She's 20 now.
02:12You started working when you were 18.
02:15Yes.
02:16How hard was it?
02:17What was running through your mind?
02:18For me, it was hard.
02:20Sometimes, when I go to work, I can't avoid discrimination.
02:26Especially with the managers.
02:28I experienced that.
02:30Sometimes, I feel weak.
02:32I just want to go home.
02:35My mom will take care of it.
02:37But when I cry, I fight back.
02:41That's what I do.
02:42I write songs.
02:44When I'm hurt, I just use my singing skills.
02:48That's what I write.
02:50So, the issue is discrimination.
02:52Yes.
02:53Not providing for yourself at an early age.
02:56Because for some, it's hard.
02:58Especially if you're 18, you should only understand lessons.
03:03As much as possible, as long as the kids are studying, they should understand what they're studying.
03:09And how to be a good child, friend, and study.
03:12But for you, it's a big responsibility to live for yourself.
03:16Yes.
03:17It's a part of your education.
03:18Right?
03:19Daily mission.
03:20When that happened to you one day, you woke up and said,
03:22I need to live for myself.
03:24Where do you get the strength of your heart?
03:26How do you fight your fear?
03:28Weren't you afraid?
03:30Can I do this?
03:31Yes.
03:32I was afraid.
03:33But sometimes, I think,
03:35I'm not the only one experiencing this.
03:38There are others too.
03:40If they were able to overcome this, why can't I?
03:44I can do this.
03:45And what you did was good.
03:46Your brother wanted you to study, but you told him not to.
03:49Yes.
03:50Why?
03:51Because...
03:52Why don't you want to be helped?
03:53Yes.
03:54I just feel like...
03:56I just want to...
03:57I just want to...
04:00I don't want to...
04:01They don't fight like that,
04:03but I don't want to get to the point where I have to fight like that.
04:07But they don't fight like that.
04:08Isn't that what your brother does?
04:10No.
04:11Maybe sometimes when they fight,
04:13they can't avoid it inside the house.
04:16It's like someone wants to fight with you.
04:18Yes.
04:19Everyone experiences that.
04:21Oh, well.
04:22That's a good principle.
04:24Because I don't want to fight,
04:26I'll just do it for myself.
04:28God bless you.
04:29I hope you're healthy.
04:30I hope you don't get sick.
04:38I hope you don't get sick.
04:39I hope you don't get sick.
04:40I hope you don't get sick.
04:41I hope you don't get sick.
04:42I hope you don't get sick.
04:43I hope you don't get sick.
04:44I hope you don't get sick.
04:45I hope you don't get sick.
04:46I hope you don't get sick.
04:47I hope you don't get sick.
04:48I hope you don't get sick.
04:49I hope you don't get sick.
04:50I hope you don't get sick.
04:51I hope you don't get sick.
04:52I hope you don't get sick.
04:53I hope you don't get sick.
04:54I hope you don't get sick.
04:55I hope you don't get sick.
04:56I hope you don't get sick.
04:57I hope you don't get sick.
04:58I hope you don't get sick.
04:59I hope you don't get sick.
