A Story of Resilience, Growth, and Discovery
In this blog, you’ll discover the resilience, growth, and lessons of my journey as a Filipino immigrant in Canada. I’ll share real challenges—from adjusting to a new culture and workplace to overcoming self-doubt—and offer insights on finding meaningful work, pursuing education, and navigating obstacles.
This space is for anyone considering migration, new immigrants, or those curious about the Filipino immigrant experience. Through my story, I hope to inspire fellow Filipinos to embrace the journey, learn from setbacks, and keep pushing forward, remembering why they started in the first place.
