Remembering

things that
happened in the
past is quiet a
hobby to me. I
would
start
by
thinkin
g way
back
when I
was
born.
It was
the 29
th

day of April when
my mother was
suffering from
great pain because
of me. But behind
that pain, I know
that there's also
excitement. My
father feels the
same way too
knowing that their
2
nd
awaited baby
girl is coming.

Years pass and I
have to be sent in
school. Elementary
year was when I
feel the happiness
of being a child.
All I was to think
is to play and
discover new things
together with my
childhood friends.

But,
human by
nature
grows
and
matures
and so I
have
experien
ced the nature of
being a young lady.
Things like:
O aving my
monthly period;
O aving some
admirations on
persons and
things;
O oing some
arrangements on
my own room;
O eeping secrets
O riting things
on my diary.

uring my high
school days, I'm
afraid to be failed
on any of my
subjects, but when
It's all about me..
I entered college,
I started:
O not doing my
assignments;
O having good time
with friends
instead of going
to class;
O dropping my
subjects
unofficially.

It
was the
time of
somewha
t like
rebelli
on to
my
parents. My mother
works away from us.
My father is a
tricycle driver. I
know they both love
me but I feel
incomplete because
I feel they were
not really beside
me or should I say,
they were too busy
with their stuff.
My father is also a
hard drinker that
caused
his
death.

It was so painful
for us after his
death because he
left us unexpec-
tedly. It was the
saddest part of my
life.
My
mother
has to
go back
to her
work
abroad
to support us
financially and so
we were left alone.
Solving problems by
ourselves. Young as
I am, I long for a
motherly and
fatherly care.
Then, I found
myself with my
childhood friend,
Joseph. e
became good
friends to
lovers. ith him
I found what I
was longing for.
I was still in
college that
time when I got
pregnant and so I
stopped. e decided
to get married.


After 9 months,
we had our first
baby and we named
it SEMMIA. She
was a healthy baby.
Then I realized how
painful my mother
felt when I was
about to come out.
I realized how to
appreciate things
and know their
significance. The
fear of failing any
subjects goes back
to my attitude and
it was all because
of what had happen
to me and I don't
want it to happen
to my daughter. I
continued studying
and now I am on my
senior level.
