Being the eldest of four definitely made a great influence on how I am mentally speaking.
At an early age I was though how to discipline myself so that my younger siblings will look at me as a good example. Therefore, at an early age, I was trained to think first before doing anything, of course there were so many lapses hehehe...I can also be a good headache to my parents.
I was an above average student while in the early stages of schooling, but wasn't able to maintain the level when already in college. But I'm proud to say that I was able to graduate from a very reputable university on time....whew! Proud to say too that I was able to pass an admission test for a post graduate course, geared towards a medical career...sad to say can't cope with the financial side of it :(
I am with the premiere environmental organization of the Philippines, Haribon Foundation for 7 years now. I think I am doing well, mentally speaking so far.
Relationship-wise, my husband seeks my opinion in most of the major decisions for our family. Likewise, my (maiden) family also values my judgment in major situations.
So far, I can say, my sanity is still intact. How about yours? Click on the badge in this article for more of girls talks.
you're doing just great, mentally-wise, based on what i've read from your entry ;)
