MANILA – It was not an easy road to success for Kathryn Bernardo. But for what it’s worth, the teen actress is grateful that after the long wait, she is now in a place where she only once dreamed about.

In a live interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday, Bernardo said she will forever be thankful to ABS-CBN because all her projects were given to her at the right time.

“Kasi 'yung awkward stage ‘yung nakakatakot. Thankful ako kasi nung nabigyan ako ng ‘Magkaribal,’ parang nakatawid ako from the bata na pwede na mag-mature kahit papano. Hindi ko talaga inisip na magiging ganito,” she said.

Bernardo said it has always been her dream to be an actress.

“Gusto ko lang mag-artista tapos hindi ko naman in-expect na ganito talaga ang break na mabibigay sa akin. Akala ko dati kapag nag-try ako, tapos hindi ako naging successful, magiging normal school girl na lang ako. Tapos dumating lahat ng blessings na ito nagpapasalamat talaga ako,” she said.

Just like everyone else, Bernardo said she also endured long lines of auditions in the past.

“Siguro 'yung pinagdaanan ko na hindi ko makakalimutan 'yung hirap pumila sa auditions. Pumipila ako sa audience entrance before. ‘Yung mag-aaudition ka, maghapon ka nakapila doon. May dala ka pang mga pictures mo, ipe-present mo sa kanila. Feeling ko kapag nakikita ko sila sa audience entrance, sabi ko grabe din pala 'yung mga ginawa ko before,” she said.

Bernardo advised those who are also aspiring to become an actress to not give up -- just like her.
“Para sa akin talaga, sana rin 'yung iba ma-inspire sila na walang imposible basta gusto mo. Ngayon sobrang saya ko,” she said.
