Journal 1: I never dreamed of becoming an OFW

I never dreamed of becoming an “Overseas Filipino Worker” or “OFW” for short.

Like many #Filipinos, I didn’t grow up dreaming of working abroad. But at some point, I had to ask myself: If I stay in the Philippines… what will I really get out of it?

In my first journal, I share a little bit of the story behind my decision to leave the #Philippines. It wasn’t just “for the money,” but the fear, doubt, pressure, and opportunities that pushed me to take a leap of faith.
