Isa si KC Concepcion sa mga mapalad na artista na nakapag-aral ng kolehiyo sa Europe noon dahil na rin sa kaniyang mga successful parents na sina Sharon Cuneta at Gabby Concepcion. Hindi lahat ay pinalad na makapag-aral sa ibang bansa kaya naman sobrang thankful ng aktres at nakayanan ng kaniyang mga magulang na itaguyod ang kaniyang schooling sa Europe ng halos limang taon.

“Forever thankful that my parents sent me away to Europe for university. 5 years of growing from a teen to a twenty-something.

Ayon sa aktres, hindi rin naging madali ang kaniyang buhay sa Europa dahil na rin sa language barrier doon. Kinailangan niya raw matutunan ang French language upang mas maging madali ang kaniyang pakikipagkomunikasyon habang ito ay nag-aaral doon.

“In a new home that hardly spoke English at all (I had to learn everything from banking to groceries to doctor visits in French). I eventually grew into it, adapted to the culture, got molded by the places and people—that time remains to be an enormous part of who I am today.”

Marami na itong naging karanasan sa buhay lalong lalo na ngayon na mag-isa na lamang din niyang tumitira sa kaniyang sariling bahay sa siyudad ng Maynila.

Subalit dahil sa quarantine na nagaganap ngayon sa ating bansa, ramdam ni KC na tila ba parang bumalik ulit ito sa unang beses na sumabak ito sa Paris. Inihalintulad ng aktres ang kaniyang nararamdaman ngayon katulad ng naramdaman niya noon ng tumira ito mag-isa sa Paris.

“Funny thing is, I feel like I’m back there now, thrown into something new, something unfamiliar, something different… and succeeding in the situations you find yourself in…as we all learn so much more about how to do LIFE in these bewildering times.”
“How to do things, how to feel things, how to stay disciplined, how to manage your emotions, how to empathize, how to support yourself, not getting it right all the time, but staying the course and picking yourself back up again. Not knowing what the next things is gonna be, but going with the flow and just doing it,” dagdag ng aktres sa kaniyang caption.

Tila ba parang isa pa rin daw siyang estudyante ngayon ng kaniyang buhay dahil marami pa siyang kailangang matutunan lalo na ngayon na mag-isa lamang niyang tumitira sa kaniyang condo.

“I’m back to the everydayness of life where there are ups and downs, scary times and then finding pleasure all around. My time as a university student and this time as a student of life (while on lockdown right now) feel the same in so many ways.”, kwento ng aktres.
We feel you KC! Be strong and pray!
