My name is Aqma, and I don’t think my name is cool. Why did I have to be named Aqma? Wouldn’t Leo or Max sound much better? Today is my first day of school, and I’m so nervous. What if my classmates laugh when I introduce myself? Just like the kids in my neighborhood who teased me. Mom always said, “They only teased you because they liked you.” I wasn’t so sure. They said my name sounded strange and made up silly rhymes. I chased them until they ran away, laughing. Ever since then, I wished for a cooler name. “Aqma, let’s go! It’s time for school,” Mom called. I sighed and followed her. On the way, I thought hard. Maybe I could mumble my name, or pretend I forgot it when it’s my turn. When we arrived, Mom gave me a hug and said, “You’ll do great, Aqma. Your name is perfect, just like you.” As I walked into class, lost in thought, BUMP! I ran into a girl with curly hair. “Oops! Sorry!” I said quickly. “No, it’s okay! Hey, what’s your name?” she asked, smiling. “Oh no, this is it,” I thought. “I’m Aq... Aqma,” I mumbled. “Aqma? That’s so cool!” she said brightly. “I’m Rina.” “Wait, you think Aqma is cool?” I blinked, surprised. “Of course! Aqma sounds unique and strong,” Rina replied. “We should be friends!” Before I knew it, other kids gathered around. “Aqma is a great name!” one said. I couldn’t stop smiling. I never thought anyone would like my name, let alone think it was cool. By the end of the day, I felt proud. Mom was right all along. My name is Aqma, and I think it’s VERY cool!

Pagkatapos ng klase, agad siyang pumupunta sa kainan, nagpapalit ng uniporme at nagiging abala sa paghahatid ng mga order, ngiti sa labi kahit na nangangalay ang kanyang katawan. Isang gabi, habang nagmamadali, nakita niyang may naiwang wallet ang isang customer. Binuksan ito at puno ng pera, ngunit hindi siya nagdalawang-isip na ibalik ito sa manager at maghintay para ibalik sa customer nang buo. “Maraming salamat, hija,” sabi ng customer, “Bihira na ang katulad mo.” Ngumiti si Elena at sinabing, “Trabaho ko po ito, at alam kong tama lang ibalik ang hindi akin.” Kahit hirap, hindi siya tumitigil. Ang kanyang sipag, tiyaga, at katapatan ay patuloy na nagiging inspirasyon sa kanyang mga kaklase at katrabaho. Pinapakita ni Elena na ang determinasyon at mabuting kalooban ang susi sa tagumpay, at kahit gaano pa kahirap ang buhay, ang kanyang mga pangarap ay abot-kamay.
