WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU AT THIS YOUNG AGE?

 The most important thing for me at this age was to go to school and have some friends. Own some personal belongings like clothes & things to be used in schooling. To help my parents in ou daily work for we have no helper. My mother would ask me to fetch water and pound rice. There was no clean rice sold before not like today.

LIST OF MOST IMPORTANT AND UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCES:

At the age of eight my sister died. Her name was Delia. I was very unhappy because of her death. At this age my step-grandfather used to whip me with coconut broom if I abandoned the watching of drying the palays as a way of desciplining us. When I was at the age of 14 I know how to play poker. My opponents were married men. Although I have little capital I was very lucky & sometimes helps in my personal expenses and give some amount to my mother.

My step father got sick when I finished first year highschool and I stop my study for one year.
