My first and true friends... Family

        A family is like a photo. Treasure it and hold onto it… forever.


        They say that the members of your family are your first friends and first love. They’ll stand by you in times of happiness and comfort you in times of despair. They will never leave you. I’d like to tell you about my family.

        They are my parents. They were my first teachers. They took care of me ever since I was small. Their unconditional love for me helped me grow up as a good person. Even if I have already done a lot of mistakes in my life and I have done wrong towards them, they forgave me. They taught me how important life is. They accept me for who I am. Knowing that there are a lot of children whom their parents have left them or who have broken families because their parents have separated or who have parents that abused them, I am very fortunate for I have a complete family and good parents that enlighten me to the right path.

         My parents are very supportive in all activities I do. They are always present in all shows or competitions I participate in, in school or off-campus. They provide me with all my needs. Not to mention, they’re very great cooks!

         My dad grew up as an only child, like me. I also got my height from him because he is six feet tall. He is also very smart especially in mathematics and science. He started elementary at five years old. He graduated as Doctor of Medicine in Manila, the place where he grew up. Now, he is working there. My dad is also very brave.  I may not see him every day, but I know how much he loves me because being away from your loved ones to work is a big sacrifice.

         My mom grew up with a brother and a sister. Her father died when she was still in college. Sad, isn’t it? My mom graduated as a Radiologic Technologist, a person who takes X-rays of people which is a very unusual and very hard job. She is also very smart. My mom is the person I’m with every day. She is my best friend. I tell her all the things that happen in my life. A lot of people say that we are like sisters because we have a lot in common.
         They are my heroes. They are my idols. They forever will occupy a big space in my heart and I forever will be their little girl no matter what happens.

              Now, let's talk about ME. I'm not being narcissistic, I would just like to tell something about myself. :D

              I grew up as an only child. I was a very, very short girl before and always near front when lining up by height, until I reached highschool. It was in the opening of classes in first year where I realized that I was alreay one of the tallest. That was one big change in my life. Since grade two, I have been attending ballet classes. Before my first lesson, I really did not want to become a ballerina. Later on, I realized how happy I am when I am able to dance gracefully and express what I feel through it. I can also play the piano because like ballet, I can express my feelings through it. I like reading books and writing. Books enhance my vocabulary and I learn a lot of stories about life and its mysteries. I also love sketching and drawing caricatures. For me, life is boring without creativity or color. 
         
             I also have bad (or embarrasing) confessions. I am really, really bad at volleyball. I am also very, very lazy. I am also very, very moody. I also find clowns annoying and I don't know why! I am always bored. I don't know if this is bad, but some people find it so, but I am very childish.

            I have friends before who told me that before they knew me, they would say that I look very arrogant. After some time of being together, they tell me that they realized how different I was. As an only child, I treat my best friends and cousins as sisters or brothers. They are also important to me because I can relate to them and they can relate to me. Every time I am in school, I feel happy because I am with my friends and I don't get bored.

            I also love my grandparents. They say that I am the apple of their eyes. They spoil me, but not too much. They buy me what I want. They are also very supportive and they are always present in all special moments in my life.

           I would also want to share a trivia about me and my family: I have only three first-cousins but more than 30 second-cousins. We always meet and have fun time together.

  So I think I've shared a lot about my family and because of them, I became who I am now. =)
