She told me further that she would sleep at 11:30 (earliest time) in the evening for she had some difficulties in the curriculum's subjects. She even stated that she hated and wanted to get rid of a 2.0 averages. Luckily, she graduated from that school in 1983. She returned home because my mother would not permit her to enroll at a state university. She enrolled at a science-oriented university in Legazpi City as a scholar of National Science and Technology Administration. But the nearness of her to the scrutinizing eyes of my mother and my older sister made her stay at home very hard for her, she wrote me. It was December when I was given permission by the Superintendent to go home on leave. I appealed to my mother and sister, not concealing my tears of sympathy to my younger sister, to give her ample time to adjust.
