Independent! Dedicated! Selfless!
Most of the people around me always see me with this 3 personality of me. But there's more behind those words. Want to know me?
I Love Green! Hello friends! My name is Julie Fe Española Asoc-Vera, a breadwinner in my family. I have been a licensed Insurance Advisor since 2017 at Manulife Philippines up to the present, an online teacher for foreign students for 7 years, and also a Lay Preacher in our UCCP Church. I am grateful that I found this platform where I can share my best memories, daily stories, life experiences, thoughts, and even ups and downs. Hoping that you get inspired by me, as I want to do the same thing for you.
Growing Me!
Now I am in my 30; I can say that life experience has helped me grow my personality, boost my confidence, and dare to show who I am, being a unique creation of God.
Introducing to you my Family, my Inspiration.
At the age of 15, I was in my 3rd year of high school when my father died; that was the downfall moment of my life. Being a daughter, the pain when he is gone is unexplainable. During those early years when he was gone, it was so much of a struggle and so painful.
As the eldest in the family, I took on the obligation of being my father's breadwinner. Most of my family's needs depend on me. Life situations and emotions are hard to deal with, but with God I overcome the hardship in life. I know it's not the end of this challenging life, but being together with the family and with God, we have a reason to be happy.
At present, the picture shows our family is growing: from 5 Siblings (4 Girls, 1 boy) my husband and sister in law added, also our mother found new partner in life, but we stay on each other side.
Most of the Young once dream is to study in College and finish a degree and I am one of them. A young woman with a dream, being poor is not a hindrance for me. I get inspired to look for more ways and opportunities to get enrolled in a university. God is good he answer my prayer and become a student in the Jose Rizal Memorial State University with Scholarship and allowance. During those days I help my self selling snacks to my classmates, join any activities and study hard. Because I choose to study my dream course I get more inspire to do well then I graduated Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Marketing management with special rewards.
During my on-the-job training in college, I spent my hours to the Manulife Company Dipolog City branch. While as OJT I give my self to learn and explore about the company and the job, until I understand and get inspired what people doing in the office.
Since my passion and my desire is to help others, after my graduation, I didn't refuse when one of the manager offer me the job to become a Financial and Insurance Advisor of Manulife. I join trainings and took my Licensure exam both Traditional and VUL.
The pictures show how happy I am to be part of the company; they are the people who inspired me to become an achiever and help more people
Serving God is my biggest commitment in Life. Since I was an infant my parents dedicate my life to United Church Of Christ In The Philippines (UCCP) where my faith and belief develop, grow and inspired. The people surrounded in me encourage me to become a Pastor in our church, but I didn't. In my Prayer I said to God that "God make me as your servant, I want to serve you anytime and anywhere but not as a Pastor. Give me a unique mission in life" Where I am now is God's answers prayer. He use me as a Lay Preacher in church, I can share God's word to many people because God put me to different organizations, even in our community I am a preacher, in Municipality of Interfaith I am also part of preaching. But what I like the most is that I can share God's word in my jobs meeting different people across countries. I believe we serve God in different ways.
My bread and butter!
Year 2020 started my journey as an Online ESL Teacher, where I get inspired to help foreign people to learn English and sharing God's words to them.
After 2 years as an online teacher, I got inspired to help people get a job and earn while working at home, especially during COVID19. So I pray to God and allowed Him to use me as a blessing to other people, that time God give me an idea to manage Filipino ESL teachers; by his grace that is what I am doing now for 4 years in Star Online Teaching Center.
From Single to Married!
After 4 years in relationship as boyfriend and Girlfriend to fiancée and to become Married couple.
Married life is not easy, specially when my OB doctor said that I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) it's getting me hard to get pregnant. I know God has a better plan, we allow his plan to us.
As a married couple we have fight, we laugh and cried, what ever the situation we face we trust God and allowing him to keep us together.
Life is moving forward everyday, so I will keep my self creating memories to share and get inspired.
I am thankful I meet @antonette and @chinito as my mentor sharing this platform and guiding me how to navigate this platform and to freely express my thoughts in every memories of my life. She help me every steps and no refuse in answering many of my questions with patient. I learn from him the quality of engaging with in the community that makes me feel exciting meeting different people to be my friends and inspiration.
