Helen Climaco

Sometimes I feel like I’m at the age where I’m supposed to be doing a lot of things that other people are doing right now, and I feel disappointed in myself because I’m not doing things that other people are doing at my age. But then I also think about it and I’m like, yeah, they have other advantages and I’m still growing and I’m still learning. I can’t sit and reflect on other people’s actions, I could only grow from here. Personal life experiences shaped me how I am today just by making me a better person overall and understanding people better, because I’ve grown more into being able to understand people and being able to talk to them and being able to express myself to other people because that was also very difficult for me. I wasn’t able to open up, but I feel like now that I’m growing up, I’m able to do that. Managing school and life itself is difficult but I always managed to do it. Honestly, I like to do my work during school, so I don’t have to do it after school because after school I have to work out and I also have to bake because I have a baking business called Helen Bakes on Instagram. Baking takes a lot of my time and I have to walk my dog so I just try to balance it and organize my time.
