My name is Reizel Joy B. Rasona. I am 17 years old. I am from Barobo Surigao del Sur.

I
have in my family two brothers, one sister, my dad and my mom. I am the eldest in my
family.My mother’s name is Bernadette B. Rasona, she is from Leyte and my father’s name is Moises G.
Rasona, he is from Bohol City. My birthday is on August 25th, 2001. In my life I have bad
and good experiences, but a fantastic life overall. These experiences help me to be
happy, and I learn from them every day of my life.

I started kindergarten when I was 5 years old and I finished it at 7 years old. In the
kindergarten, I had very good times. There I made my first good friends in all my
life, and I remember them for the games that we played together. Later, I started
elementary school when I was 7 years old. I remember school very well, because at
first I was so scared of the boys. They were bigger than I was. Also, some boys make
fun with me and annoy me every time. However, I met a friend there her name is Jonah and I
liked to study, do my homework, play with her, and talk about our favorite movies. In
fact, I really enjoyed this time in my childhood. I finished elementary school when I
was 12 years old. I was ready to go to junior high school to learn new things and
make new friends there.

After elementary school, I went to junior high at Barobo National High School. It was
bigger and had more students than elementary school. There I had more teachers
than I had before. My friend and I was on the same school and I was so happy that we are
classmates. I met some friends there and I also met Lucelle which I consider my bestfriend until now. In
junior high, my favorite classes were Mathematics and Chemistry. On the other hand, I
didn't like Biology. As a result of that, I had to study this more to have good grades.
When I was studying in junior high school, I was more focused on academic activities. That's
why I always got high grades on almost of my subjects and become one of the best students there.

I finished junior high school and had to go to senior high school when I was 15. I decided to
finish senior high at Agusan del Sur National High School. I was not really excited, because I
was afraid of the new experiences there, and I was going to have more responsibility
in senior high school. But since my bestfriends are going with me in ASNHS I was relieved. It was very
stressful and busy in Grade 11, there are a lot of homeworks and projects that need to be done right
away. Even though we have a hectic days during Grade 11, it was fun because I learned a lot of lessons
that is very helpful for me when I go to college.

It was during that time when I met a man that really change my perception on men. He was very kind
and smart. We always talk about everything in this world, and that was the only time I felt very
comfortable talking to a man. Later on, he confessed his feelings to me and I was very happy that time.
It was the first time a man confess his feelings for me and I considered it as a great responsibility. After
how many months of talking and being with each other, I fall inlove with him. His actions and efforts
made me fall inlove with him. We are together now for 11 months but we decided that we will enter
relationship after we finish college.

I am now at the last stage of highschool. I am going to start it well so that I can achieve my goals in life.
My decision is already set, I am going to enter Philippine National Police Academy at Silang, Cavite. I
believe that studying at the Philippine National Police Academy will allow me to become a great leader
to our nation and to give the right treatment to every Filipinos. In the future, I will follow my father’s
dream before in order to help people find justice and to have a great leader.

At this point in life, close to college, you might think i have everyhting figured out. Such as what courses
to go for in college or what jobs to take in the futyre but to tell yoy honestly, life doesn't work out like
that, or at least for me. My life has been nothing but a barrage of both expected and unexpected events,
and in those happenings, i now know that its all for the better and to know that god always has a better
ppan for us. Accepting the fact that if things go on your way its good. If not, its even better because its
the will of god
