INTERVIEW: CHELLE

Interview with Chelle: A Glimpse into the World of a Filipina

By PinayWise

PinayWise: Good morning, Chelle! It’s such a pleasure to be here on this serene morning, surrounded by the tranquil fields of your farm. How has your day started so far?

Chelle: Magandang umaga, PinayWise! Thank you for visiting. My day usually begins with the roosters crowing and the fresh scent of the earth. I’ve just finished helping my family with the morning chores on the farm. It’s the same routine, but it feels new every day!

PinayWise: Ah, the rustic charm! Let’s dive deep into your daily life. Living in a rural province has its own set of challenges. Can you share some of the difficulties you face?

Chelle: Sure. While there’s an undeniable beauty in living close to nature, we often face challenges like erratic weather conditions, which affect our crops. Sometimes, access to basic necessities and medical facilities can be a struggle since the nearest town is quite a distance away. And of course, the occasional longing for urban conveniences.

PinayWise: Speaking of urban life, many young adults your age are gearing up for university. What are your thoughts on higher education?

Chelle: University is a dream for many of us here. While I love the farm and my family, I’ve always been curious about the world beyond. I wish to study agriculture or environmental science. It’s not just for a degree, but to bring back modern knowledge and sustainable practices to improve our community.

PinayWise: That’s truly commendable! Switching gears a bit, how’s the dating scene in the countryside? I’m sure our readers are curious.

Chelle: (laughs) It’s different for sure! We don’t have the apps or the bustling cafés. Relationships often blossom from community events, fiestas, or even through family connections. While it may sound old-fashioned, there’s a certain sweetness to it.

PinayWise: Now, let’s talk about your future career. Where do you see yourself in, say, 10 years?

Chelle: Ten years from now, I envision myself as an advocate for sustainable farming. I’d love to travel and learn, and then return to empower our community. I dream of our farm not just producing crops, but also becoming a learning center for other young people in the province.

PinayWise: Your aspirations are truly heartwarming. Before we wrap up, any life advice for our readers, especially the younger ones?

Chelle: Life in the province has taught me patience and resilience. No matter where you’re from or what challenges you face, always believe in your dreams. And remember, life is not about the destination, but the journey and the growth along the way.

PinayWise: Salamat, Chelle! Your insights and experiences are truly inspiring. Here’s to many more dreams realized and journeys undertaken.

Chelle: Maraming salamat, PinayWise! Your visit means a lot. Hope our paths cross again soon. Safe travels!
