Colet's family lives in Bohol so she was away from home while she was in training. "Ako tuwing Pasko lang ako nakakauwi. Buti 'yung iba malapit lang ang pamilya nila. Pwede silang bisitahin ng kanilang nanay. Kailangan pa natin mag-eroplano. Sa sobrang hirap, gusto ko na talagang huminto," Colet shared.

"Naisip ko na lang na masasayang ang lahat ng efforts ko kung huminto ako. 'Yun ang tumakbo sa isip ko. Nag-desisyon akong ipagpatuloy na lang at kayanin ang training dahil kaya nga ng ibang tao. Kinaya rin ng mga kasama ko. Nakita ko na kaya naman talaga," she remarked.
