My Autobiography
by: Jessa P. Quintana



               I was born on a winter season that Friday night in the province of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro but now I'm here staying at Quezon City. I took my kindergarten at Managpi Daycare center and I studied my grade school at Manapi Elementary just until Grade two and then I moved up to Manila and there I continued my study in Llano Elementary and after I finished my grade three I again transferred to another school for some reasons. I finished my grade school at Bagumbong Elementary somewhere in Caloocan City. I took my first year of High school at Bagumbong and then I stopped for one year for unreasonable reason and then decided to pushed up my study in Mindoro, my birthplace and after my second year I go back again to Manila and finally finished my high school at Dona Rosario, likely complicated just perks of being raised without my parents.

               Not even I graduated in high school I'm really bother where I actually study for college. First I apply for entrance examination to PUP unluckily my sister told me that I'm not going to study to that university because it will take too much time to travel to reach that school so I didn't take the exam, that really broke my heart I badly want to study in that prestigious university. My second-choice university is NEU and for the second time around that university is not for me and so I can do nothing but to accept the reality that my kind of universities are not meant for me. Now I'm a third-year student taking a course of Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship at QCPU. For me time flies so fast, it seems like yesterday was my first day in college the same day when I met one of my college best friend. My best friend, she's my treasure and I truly considered myself lucky to have her in my life, now we rarely talk to each other due to our own businesses in our academics but still we're best friend. I survived my first semester, philosophy and sociology are the subject I wanted the most and my memorable moment is our cheer dance competition that was held in gymnasium. My second semester was unforgettable because that was the time I met a guy who once I loved so hard not knowing that he is also the guy who will broke my heart into pieces to the point that being heartbroken lead me to great depression, it took me so long to move on from that guy it hurts but i learned. Another year has gone, and I survived my second year in college that was the year that I got a 2.75 grade in probstats subject a very frustrating grade ever. Currently I'm third-year, more matured than ever. I know what is right from wrong but sometimes it is inevitable to choose wrong over right for the sake of happiness partly this is just a part of being teenager.

               I have a big family although I have already my parents deceased. We're eight siblings, me as a last child. Four of my siblings are already married and I got from them a two nephew and six nieces. I'm not showy unlike any other who used to tell their bros and sisters "I LOVE YOU" but deep inside my heart is a loving sister I only choose to hide it to them because it's not a serious matter anyway what important is that we are one family and we love each other.

               I love writing poems and so even my thoughts and feeling toward someone or anything. Reading is also my pleasure like philosophic and psychologic articles. I love also watching news and documentaries (than that of movies because movies are too much expensive in short I have no money to watch in cinemas) because I want myself become aware of what are happening inside the country. I'm a fanatic of music especially alternative and rock music. I used not to go home after school class the reason why is that my friend and I prefer to eat where we want to if we have left money from our allowance, eating with one of my friend is really good.

               I have some simple dreams in my life and I wish those dreams will come so true when the day comes. I want to be a successful entrepreneur owning a big company that will help not just my family and friends but also my countrymen. And when I have my business from gaining profit I can buy house and lot for myself and for my deaf sister. I also wish to be a professional certified psychologist simply because I want to understand why people do a certain thing in uncertain reason.

               The bottom line of the story comes from this song lyrics "ang nagwawagi ay di umaayaw, ang umaayaw ay di nagwawagi". For me life is the great gift we ever receive from God. We definitely owe everything from God. Struggles and obstacles are just some challenges to test what we can do.
