January 5th 1987. 21 years ago an angel sent from heaven was born, her name? Roselynn Margate. I am the eldest of the family of four. The first baby of my parents, Ligaya and Ruel. I grew up in a family with a simple living since we are not that wealthy. Yea we are'nt wealthy of material things, but what I am proud of is the fact that I belong in a family wealthy of love, happiness and contentment.
I was 5 years of age when i first stepped my feet on school grounds. Kindergarten. That was the first time I learned how to mingle with other people. Other children. Teachers and a totally different environment.
I was 6 when i started primary school. Elementary. Different environment. Different classmates. Different teachers. Different everything. that word DIFFERENT easily faded away when i got used to all those people at school. For 6 years I was with them. 6 years that easily passed when March of 1999, our Graduation Day came. After that day I was no longer an Elementary student. elementary ended, YES, but my life? NO it is'nt the end yet, its just getting started.
I was 12 when I became a high school freshman. High school. I was having a hard time coping up with the high school life. Everything seem so different. class schedules. different classmates. different teachers. different school ground. EVERYTHING. Things are more of a CHALLENGE than a SCHOOL CHORES. I need to get used to it. I need to accept the challenge. I need to win the battle. I need to stand out. I need to survive. Most of all I need to make choices. I need to choose the people who I will be with while I am trying to survive the thing call HIGH SCHOOL LIFE. In its simple words, I need to choose FRIENDS. People who will inspire me to keep going. Those who will pick me up whenever I feel down. Those will laugh with me on silly things and cry with me on sad things. Those who I can watch movie with or spend some sleep overs once in a while. Luckily, i have found 7 ladies who became my best girl pals and spent my entire high school life with them. That was when I found out what FRIENDSHIP means.
High school was not easy. I have experienced what they called PEER PRESSURE. Alcoholic drinks. Cigarettes. Drugs. Technology. Modernization. I need to deal with these. Yes, I have tried some. Alcohol, cigarette, i have tried, but never did really like it. Drugs? Not in my vocabulary. The others? its still there but i did'nt bother myself trying. What for? I am contented. I have family. I have friends. I have people who believe in me. What more can I ask for?
I believe in the saying "There is NO such thing as PERMANENT, only CHANGES". That is because after 4 years, high school life needs to end. April 2003, High school Graduation, my final day in the high school grounds.
So yes, college is soon to come. I need to decide what career will i eventually be in. I chose to be a Business Administration student. I majored Marketing. I enrolled in Polytechnic University of the Philippines in Manila. My life as a student is about to change. And i cant wait.
I was 16 and a college freshman. Again, so many DIFFERENT. Classmates. Professors. Class schedules. Campus grounds. Everything seem so new. Even me. I need to mature. I need to cope up. I need to pass ever Midterm and and Final exams. I need to get pass COLLEGE.
Campus life was NEVER easy. Quizzes. Examinations. Group projects. Thesis. Reports. Homeworks. I need to get pass through all this. I need to do everything. I even need to set aside other things. I NEED TO SET PRIORITIES.
When i left high school I left old friends. But that does'nt mean I forgotten about them. We still kept in touch. We still hang out and spend time with each other even though we were'nt going to the same campus. But then since college took most of our time, those usual became often and eventually became once in a while. But that was okay, the value of friendship is not measured on how often or usual you see each other, but by how u keep in touch and remember them even u are hundred miles away from them.
College days were hard but because of my perseverance, I managed to get passed campus life. May of 2007 I graduated. End of me being a student. Goodbye school. Hello real world.
We always say live is not a bed of roses. Yes, life is not easy. You need to survive. You need to keep going. You need to leard. You need to grow.You need to mature.
15 days after my graduation I manage to get a job. That is not my dream job but yes, it is a job. Besides I need a job to support my family. My family are the most important persons in my life. I will do everything for them. EVERYTHING.
June 15th of 2007 was a huge twist of my same old usual life. That was when I met my, you know, boyfriend. online couple, we are, but that did'nt make it less. Never a less because that was when i knew what LOVE is.
So yes this is the story of my life. This isnt the end. This only part of it. Theres still a lot more to come. A lot more to write. A lot more to be keep. A lot more to treasure.
