My professor in Personality Development subject gave us an assignment, the title is "who am I". It was so exciting and interesting because everyone has the chance to share and it happened last july 9, wednesday ;) All of my classmates were participating, "ung mga asaran at tawanan ndi naiwasan" but of course, the momentum of the class was not busted. Then, when my prof. called me to recite I was so confident, maybe it's because of the excitement. To make it short, the ending of my sharing in the class was so great and it's because I got their attention and they listened to my story :) This is the copy of what i had recited in our class:
I'm Maria Niña Limpiada, I’m 19 years of age; I’m studying at Far Eastern University taking up Bachelor of Science in Commerce major in Marketing Management and I am in my 4th year in college.
I came from a family of eight including my parents. I have five siblings and I’m the youngest. All girls and three of them were already
married; I have six nephews and one niece. I have a very supportive family who can lean on. I have beautiful relationship with them and we support each other. My parents don’t have work; my father retired in year 2000, he was a mechanic/driver; he was the only one worked so hard to support our needs while my mother stayed at home to look at us. My father strived so hard for us; he had to double his job then to provide everything for us. My father is a good provider, and so, my mother. Five of my siblings were finished in college. When my father retired from work, two of my sisters took the responsibility to support my college education. I really appreciate my family and I could not ask anything from them.
Every time I’ll take a vacation in our province people would always keep telling me that I was a "miracle baby" but I would just ignore them because I’m tired of hearing that story; sometimes I pay them attention. Then, I began to become curious and ask my parents and my siblings about it. They told me when I was born, three days after, they found out that my umbilical cord was infected and the color of my skin became violet, so they had to rush me in the hospital. In short, I am 50-50 and everybody was panicking at the time because they did not even know if I would survive and live. They said my story and everything was clear to me. By the grace of God and with the help of the doctors, I am alive and kicking. God has given me another chance to live to fulfill my duty as a good daughter to my parents and to everyone. God has a beautiful plan for me, and it’s amazing that I am here today.
When I began to study I had experienced to have bullied in school. Some of my classmates threw me bad words that I could not understand. I hid all those things to myself and began to question why they should have done stupid thing to me while I’m good at them; same as when I was in my high school year and I could no
t evade them. I believe no one is exempted for that, everybody has experienced it. I had a low self-esteem, quiet, felt so alone. I don’t know how to socialize with others and I usually compared myself to others; I started to become envy especially on things that I don’t have, why they have this kind of things and like that… which was common to an ordinary girl like me. Others would tease me, especially the boys, and I began to hate them. I kept them all by myself; there were times I cried and ask God why they should have done this to me. I had many unforgettable experiences in my high school days but when I look at them now, I had also enjoyed and had fun.
But when I started to meet friends, I became happy because I have somebody to lean on. I could not say to myself anymore “ na kawawa naman ako”. I’m thankful because all of my experience in life made me a better person and taught me that in this world I should be brave and know how to defend myself and appreciate those people come into my life. They are the catalysts in my life to become Who I Am. They can rub me the wrong way, but God taught me how to respond on them; it’s a reality of life and they are gifts from above. The results have often been chaotic and unsettling, but always life changing!
And now that I am in college, I am very delighted to meet new sets of friends; I started to fall in love deeply, hurt, and sacrifice. But I considered it as a lesson and another level of experiences again. I know that behind these sacrifices there will be a great reward. I don’t care what people say against me as long as I don’t hurt anybody. I could say that I can handle things now emotionally and mentally. Open for criticism, corrections, opinions, etc. I have to accept things because in this world no one is perfect. I have to be matured mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I just go with the flow and enjoy every single moment of my life. Life is beautiful!
“Life is too precious to worry about stupid things and it isn't like a train that when you miss it. You can say, "I'll catch the next one" Never waste the opportunity to live it and have fun 'coz this joyride passes just once.”
