Mysterious. Shallow . Captive
A quiet person avoiding crowds and spotlights. Staying on corners holding a pen and a notebook. People may describe me a nerd, filled with books and imaginations, but behind my gaze is a girl who loves to see the beauty in every detail, because I believe that small details can create a big difference in life.

Hi there! I'm Eulaica Grace Alferez. My nicknames are "Cacai, Kaking , Laica, Grace" you can call me anything you like. My world is small, but my mind is big. My mind is full of thoughts that I only kept to myself, but in an instant something changed. I began to see something that my mind can't see before, or did I just shrug it off and
neglect it from the start? I dreamed of becoming a psychologist but my father won't allow the thought of me becoming one because I am in a family of teachers, that is why I accept the challenge. Little did he know I was not serious about any of his plans. I'm 23 years old, a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. Being in the field of teaching is not really my "forte". I always tell myself I just need to finish this course because I need to prove them something right. I was a consistent honor student during my High School days. I joined pageants, shows, and I even became a host on such events at school.

We are a family of teachers, I'm the youngest of my siblings. I was the most hard headed one, I even ask myself " Am I the blacksheep of the family?" then I would laugh it out. You can see me smiling in the picture, having no thought of harming myself. But I did before due to low self-esteem. During my college days, I can see the real challenge. The real me that brought out the hidden me. I know this is confusing but my life is full of mystery, but I like the thought of keeping it to myself most of the time. I only express myself, through writing and posting because it gives me the courage to speak up and share without criticisms.

My intership days were so tiring yet so fun. I enjoyed playing with kids, teaching them arts, crafts and many more. I was assigned to teach Arts Appreciation that time and I ask myself if I can handle the task, still I accepted the challenge because my Cooperating- teacher motivated me and lift me to be the best version of myself.
He told me about managing the task effectively and creating innovative strategies to engage with students during the class. It was so much fun!

The time of judgement days were the stressful days. We even cried out, due to management stress and financial crisis but we still did our best and finished the requirements. I can still remember the time when my classmate ask if I'm still doing fine, then I burst out crying because I never experience being ask if I'm okay or doing well.

I'm a competitive person, I always take initiative and complete every task that is given to me. I don't talk much, but when I do it would be a very important one.Life had taught me many things, I always look up to Him and say thank you everyday, because he never left me despite the challenges I faced. I realized it was just me all along, avoiding opportunities and scared to take risk.

My life is like a hunted house full of mysteries, doors locked, with many twist and turns. I'm an ESL Teacher now at a well known company. I am happy because of the opportunity given to me. I thank the Lord for the gift of Life, my mission and my passion that gives my the grit to achieve what is on the way. I may not be perfect, but I always give the best version of myself. The most introverted Cinderella is now a new version, but still I needed to cope up with everyone.

I'm also very grateful to ma'am @antonette and @chinito about the post related to English blog writing, because writing is also my passion despite having errors. They told me about the process on how to create a blog and share the Hive rules and policies on posting. I do fully understand the quality of writing a blog and that AI is prohibited, the quality of engaging with communities is also very important. Thus, my photos were personally captured but enhanced through Canva app.

I can assure that all my contents and writings are based on my imaginative mind. So, let's have the courage to speak our minds and share the love of writing. Happy Reading!

I couldn't tell from your post where you live. Please be aware that your posts can be read by people from all over the world who live in completely different circumstances than you. For example, I find it very strange that your father decides your profession. Greetings from Central Europe, and I hope you enjoy your stay here.
Hi Laica! Welcome to Hive! 😊 Your introduction is really inspiring. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts!
Hi @eulaicagrace welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.
I can relate to that feeling of wanting to be perfect and ending up realising that you are your own biggest obstacle. Even so, you have already experienced what it is like to have to do things you don't want to do but that life puts in front of you. In the end, that whole journey has brought you here, and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it a lot. Follow the advice your mentors have given you and you'll do well. I recommend that you explore the communities I've linked below. and wish you the best luck!

Hello, Cacai! I'd like to call you that way among your other nick names is that ok? Hehe! Welcome to hive. I think you'll enjoy hive as much as I do. I'm a bit introverted too. But, I post a lot here in Hive. This has become my platform to share my thoughts and experiences without any thought of being judged or anything like that. I admire you for being such a strong woman. It's not easy proving something for your family, doing what they want rather than what you really want. Some may not understand it but sometimes following our parents will is better. I also don't want to be a teacher, but I came to appreciate it when I became one. It's no easy feat but I made it through and I'm now 4 years in-service. Hope you'd find to love teaching soon, too! But if you tried and still it does not make you happy or you find it meaningless, then it's your choice to follow what your heart really wants. After all, you have already followed what your papa wants, may be it's now time for you to follow what you love. But please, try teaching first may be you'll have a change of heart 😊 Thanks for sharing your life here. It's nice meeting you!
