My Story

When I was a little girl, I remember living near the sea. I watched every fisherman pass by, hiding as I call them. I must admit I was naughty sometimes. I would also visit a neighbor who just delivered a baby, and because he/she was so cute I would pinch him/her and the baby would cry. I was 4 years old then. You would think I was such a brat but I am a nice innocent little girl.
I started kindergarten when I was 6. I do not like going to school. I cried as I watched my mother leave and I always ran after her. I am afraid of nuns because back then they wore gown-like dresses up to their feet..they looked like angels but they also looked like white ladies. I was so so afraid but mind you, I got over it after a month.
In 3rd grade, my teacher got me to represent our class in a singing contest. I had no idea why she chose me. I just thought, maybe I have a good voice.I have to memorize a song entitled "IF". Sadly, I had a hard time memorizing that song, that is why my teacher did not expect me to win. During the contest proper, surprisingly, I sang the song very well. I knew my teacher was proud of me and she expected me to win the 3rd prize.. the rest is history.
During 5th grade, I started to realize that I was having a hard time seeing what was written on the blackboard. I did not get to wear eyeglasses until I my 3rd year in high school because I never told my mother about this problem. It was also in 5th grade that my father decided to go abroad. He went to Indonesia to work. I remember waking up every morning crying because I missed my father so much. I was his little darling, I know, well, including my little sister of course. I was my father's little princess.
In 6th grade, I was so happy that he arrived for my graduation.
