Hello everyone! I am Nelma Enriquez also known as my nickname Mea, most of the people who knows me call me Mea or Meaka, I am 18 years of age live in one of the beautiful islands of the Philippines surigao del sur in Mindanao. I am the sixth out of 10 siblings, my mother is Lilibeth Enriquez and my father is Alberto Enriquez, having many siblings are fun even though we fight sometimes. my two older sister Dolor and Abegail are both OFW, they are working in kuwait as a Domestic helper. My older sister Dolor told me to join steemit because I will be in college this June it might help me in my finances.

My teenage life is not that fun like other typical teenagers because I am focusing my studies and I am a boring type of person because I prefer locking myself in my room, reading than partying or hanging out with friends. I'm not friendly or socialize easily with others. I prefer to be alone with a celpone, I'm contented with this kind of set-up. But even though I am like this I have a friends I've known them since my childhood they are my classmates, I've only hanging out with them during school days, they are my only friends who inspire me and make the best out of me when the times people doubt me and my friends help me to out of my comfort zone that's why I value them. I have two personalities, I am talkative and loud in school but I am silent when I'm at home. I like playing volley ball and puzzles, I also like fashion. I like going into different places having adventure to know myself better but I don't have the opportunity since I'm still studying and lack of Money, maybe I can do it in the future.

MY BATTLE IN LIFE
My father got sick for almost 6 years and my mother is the one who supported our daily finances with the help of my sisters who is in abroad and my older brother Melchor. I am proud that she is my mother even in her imperfection because she do her very best to support us in the hardest part of our life. despite all of the challenges we've been through I can say that the connection we have is strong that can't made us down because we fight together as a family.

CHALLENGES TO MYSELF
Whenever I heard people comparing me to my sister I just don't mind, I know she is better than me in achievement she has or even in household Chores because I am physicaly weak person, I don't change myself for them because it's not me anymore I believe people have different uniqueness I just wait for them to find it out than wasting my time to prove myself. I'll do everything to make my family know that I am better than they expect me. I don't have any hard feeling's to anyone who bellited me cause I make them as my inspiration in my future to be a successful person. I have to embrace my own self and I have to set myself from all the boundaries this world has given me.

I plan to share on how will be I discover myself, the adventure of my life to know myself better by sharing my hobbies and fashion in my life.

Thank you all especially to @ankarlie for introducing and guiding me and I hope to be as successful as you are in this platform.
