The family stood in silence for a moment, the weight of Annica's declaration hanging between them. Darlyn opened her mouth, as if to argue further, but was interrupted by the sound of a familiar voice.
"Annica! Over here!"
Turning, Annica spotted her closest friends, Mikylla Regondola and Decca Jane Jamoles, waving enthusiastically from across the bustling quad.
A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she gave her parents an apologetic look.
"That's my cue. I need to go get settled in." Annica leaned forward and gave Anastasia a quick hug. "I'll come visit soon, I promise."
After she hug anastasia cried louder nakita ni Kim kaya umiyak din siya parang ayaw niyang umalis dahil sa kanyang kapatid but she will comeback soon after pursuing her dreams.
Darlyn reached out, her hand hovering uncertainly, before she finally pulled Annica into a tight embrace. "Just... be careful, okay? And call us if you need anything."
Annica nodded, her heart swelling with a mix of emotions. "I will. I love you all."
With a final wave, Annica hurried pa punta sa kanyang kaibigan, the weight of her family's expectations still heavy on her shoulders, but the promise of her dreams ahead filling her with a renewed sense of purpose.
As she approached her friends, Mikylla and Decca greeted her with beaming smiles.
"I can't believe we're finally here!" Decca exclaimed, her brown eyes sparkling with excitement. "Can you believe it, Annica? We're going to be astronauts!"
Mikylla nodded, her long, dark hair swaying gently in the warm breeze. "I know. It's almost surreal. Buti nalang we get to do this together."
Annica felt a surge of relief and gratitude wash over her. "Me too. Hindi ko alam if I could have done this without you two by my side."
The trio linked arms, their faces alight with determination and the thrill of the unknown.
As they made their way towards the towering spires of the college, Annica couldn't help but glance back at her parents, who stood watching, their expressions a mix of pride and concern.
With a quiet sigh, Annica turned her attention back to the path ahead, her eyes fixed on the horizon.
"This is it, you guys," she said, her voice brimming with conviction. "The first step towards our dreams. Are you ready?"
Mikylla and Decca exchanged a knowing look, their smiles widening.
"You bet we are," Decca replied, squeezing Annica's arm reassuringly.
As the trio made their way towards the stunning, futuristic campus of Kepler College, Annica felt a surge of determination coursing through her veins. She knew the road ahead would be challenging, but she was more than ready to face whatever obstacles stood in her way.
Eto na yung chance to prove herself, to show the world - and her family - that her passion for space exploration was more than just a childhood dream. With her best friends by her side, Annica was ready to take the first step on the journey of a lifetime.
The morning trio went outside to jogging in plaza and they talk about their college. Miky said, "The 2 months of vacation is so fast, akalain mo yun college na agad tayo". Decca said, "kaya nga we need to focus more on our course in college is so challenging". While Kim said, "Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance, you must keep moving". "Also we need to face those difficult things in life and we must survive the challenges we have". After they talking they go back to their house and 5 minutes of rest they clean their each room,at nag paalam si Kim sa kaibigan niya na, "mauna na ako sa inyo matulog dahil maaga pa yung flight natin to US". They nodded to Kim and they sleep already.
In the morning they already packed their things and went to the car. 30 minutes after they arrived at the airport and they went to the counter and get the ticket after a few minutes of waiting they went inside the airplane.
Kim amazed the view of Sky she was so happy the beautiful sky while she was inside the airplane flying because this is her dream to see the beautiful sky sa taas at gusto niyang tuparin ang gusto niya and save the lives of universe.
After an hour ng kanilang byahe at gabe na sa wakas nasa airport na sila, they get their luggage at nag hintay sila ng taxi pa punta sa kanilang destination.
Later on they arrived at their dorm and they go inside and get their food because they were hungry, After this they rest and Kim fell asleep because she's so tired of their flight and they have an enrollment tomorrow.
Decca and Mikylla rest, but they didn't fell asleep. Decca said, "Baka don na ako mag ka boyfriend". Miky laugh and said, "baliw ka talaga decca, but I guess you will see your future boyfriend inside the Johnson Space Center Building". They both laugh while Kim is peacefully sleeping. Decca said, "We know that this is Kim dreams because she want to save people live the universe rather". Miky said, "Yeah I know, buti nalang pumayag si mom na paaralin niya muna si Kim at babayaran nalang siya pag meron ng pera si Kim". After their long talk they go to their bed and sleep.
The sky is beautiful isn't it? "Never give up on your dreams, no matter how painful and difficult your journey is". "You need to face all the challenges and let fear comes out and face the world and focus on your dreams not what people say." because when you focus on what people say your dreams will fall apart. Believe in yourself no matter what happens and face all the challenges, difficulties and hard. Lastly," The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
