title: I wish... I wish I wasn't a Filipino to begin with.
I wish I could live in America forever. I wish we were wealthy, so studying in an Ivy League wouldn't be a problem. I wish I could reside in the East coast, preferrably New Jersey. I wish I had these ambitions at a younger age, so I could've done something about them. I wish I didn't give in to peer pressure, and instead worked dilligently to pull up my 1st-4th year grades and be part of the honor roll. I wish I mapped out my goals earlier in life so I wouldn't have regrets, and I'll probably have good recommendations for the Ivy Leagues here. I wish I didn't have to go back to Manila. I wish I had one true friend whom I could count on. I wish I started saving up at the age I got my allowance, so I would have enough money to pay for living expenses here-- all by myself. I wish I knew how to drive. I wish I were smarter and really intelligent, that way I can obtain full scholarship in the good universities here. I wish I had thought of all these things earlier in life, so I could've planned everything and save up every peso I got and studied really hard and had tons of extra-curriculars for a US university scholarship. I wish I knew better.... |
