AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Christian B. Gacosta

A boy who was supposedly living in poverty. Yes, that’s me. I am

Christian B. Gacosta currently living in Binangonan, Rizal with my
family. I have a sibling of 1 older sister, 2 younger brothers and
sisters. Why did I say I was supposed to live in poverty? The answer is
simple. If it weren’t for my parent’s hard work, I find myself struggling
to find something to eat. We used to settle in
Sorsogon, Bicol where my grandparents live. We
live here for about 2 years before my father
found a job in Binangonan, Rizal as a Baker. My
mother and my father brought me and my older
sister here in Rizal and they manage to build
our own bakery. The first thing I remember since
being born is the time when we already have our
own bakery. I was around 4 years old back then.

Let’s fast forward towards the time I

started my education. My parents enrolled me in
kindergarten where I met my first crush. She was
very cute, and I got to hold her hand in our
graduation. Sadly, I didn’t get to see her
anymore.
 After kindergarten, I enrolled in the same school for my elementary
education. My time in elementary has been very
fun and I got to experience different things
that I still holds dear even now. While I was
taking my elementary education, the business my
parents build was getting stronger. We managed
to build a separate house near our bakery and
settle there. My life was very far from what I
was supposed to be. So, I am proud that I am
very blessed for having hardworking and loving
parents.

After graduating from elementary, I enrolled in High School. My

journey in High School was full of up and downs. I enrolled in Don Jose
M. Ynares Sr. Memorial National High School assuming I would finish my
Junior High School education there but after
finishing grade 7, my mother transferred me to
Mahabang Parang National High School because of
the distance from my former school. While
studying in Mahabang Parang National High
School, I met my 2 best friends and my first
girlfriend, though we already broke up years ago
because of my personal mistake. However, my life
in Junior High School has been very fun thanks
to these two.
 Moving up to Senior High School,
I enrolled in Morong National High
School where I discovered my
competitiveness in school. My section
won different contest like Festival
and Jingle Making Contest. I also
participated in Divisional School
Press Conference however, we didn’t
win. I also met different kinds of
people in Morong National High School and formed a group of friends.
Graduation doesn’t mean the end because we still be friends.

Then, pandemic strikes. We all have been affected by the sudden

change in our country including our education system. We now study in
front of our laptops and gadgets. It also affected our business due to
restrictions especially our business involves in the food industry. Even
still, I still find a way to have fun especially with the helps of my
family and friends. I am hoping that me and my family will be happy on
whatever the future holds.
