The Beginning
It was the last day of February 1999 (that year is not a leap year, just saying), when my mother gave birth to her youngest and prettiest daughter, Viel Marinella Malte Garcia. Yes, you've read it right, the prettiest. My father, Arnel Garcia, is an electrical engineer and a pastor. And my mother, Nenita Garcia is the most beautiful housewife in the world, no wonder why I look like this. As I said, I am the youngest, and I have two older sisters, Vashti Nelle and Vernice Anne. Their age gap is only one year, and mine is 8 years. To be the youngest among them is quite hard, because they're always bullying me. But somehow, it's fun, too, because they're always treating me as a baby. Okay, so back to the topic. February 28, 1999, my life process has already began.
Building My Childhood
When I was a child, I used to play with my cousins. All of them are boys, so I used to play outdoor games, even though my parents don't allow me to play outside. I just can't play with my sisters because our age gap is 8 years. But I still play dolls, doll house, barbie and other girly things alone. Yes, alone. As they say, to be a child is the easiest part of our life. My parents and sisters always teased me that my birthday is on February 29, even though I knew that it's not true because year 1999 is not a leap year. They say, being a child is the easiest part of our life. No expectations, no disappointments, no worries, no problems. It's true. My only expectation is to play and to play forever. My only dissapointment is when my parents don't give the toys that I like. I will only worry when my playmates are sick or their family is in a vacation. Oh, those times... Those time when my only problem is how to open my snacks. I really want to go back there.
Elementary Days
I start studying when I was 5 as a kinder. And I had my pre-school and elementary in Marikina Elementary School. If I remember it right, I'm in the section 'Masunurin' and my adviser is Mrs. Roxas. My parents always laugh at me, they always wonder why I'm in that section even I'm not obedient. I remember those days when I cry when my mother is missing. When I was in Grade One, my adviser is Mrs. Ladera, and I'm her favorite because she's my tutor before I became her student, and I think that's the reason why she put me at the star section. Haha! I remember when she always assigned me to go around the school and give the attendance to the other teachers. I can't remember anything about my second grade. Hmm... My adviser is... wait. I can't remember. Never mind. And I think my second grade is just the same like my other elementary grades, I can't remember anything. It's just like I can only remember my adviser, and some funny moments. Maybe it's because I'm not friendly, and I'm very shy so I only had few friend before. I spent my whole elementary levels being on the star section, though I'm not really that smart. I only had few unforgettable moments when I was in elementary. One of it is when my teacher always assigned me to write the noisy in our class when she's out. And when it's breaktime, we're the one who sell the snacks in the tray. I was a loner before, and I don't like talking. And I can conclude that my whole elementary life is boring. So I get excited when I passed the entrance exam in ESEP. And there, I promised that I will be friendly so that my highschool life will be memorable. I will change myself for the better.
Highschool Days
Highschool... is fun. There I realized the true meaning of life and friendship. There I felt that a family is not always seen at home, sometimes, it's in a classroom, too. There I realized that life is not 'life' without Him. There I experienced things that makes me strong and make me realized that it takes some wrong to make it good, it takes some bad for satisfaction, and it takes some failure to make it win. My first year highschool is very memorable, I experienced the things that I'd never experienced before. I learned that life is boring without friends, and I should have self-esteem. My adviser, Ms. Milo chose me to represent our section for the Miss Campus Personality. Sadly, I didn't won. But it doesn't matter, atleast I gained experience. I also experienced to lose some friends. I realized that in life, it really doesn't matter if someone will leave and someone will stay, its up to the person if she/he will be affected. There are too many unforgettable experiences in my first year high, and this will be long if I mention it all. But wait, there's more... My sophomore life. It's more than I expected. I thought that there no such year that can exceed the fun that I felt on my freshmen life, but I'm wrong. My sophomore life is more fun than my freshmen life. Our adviser is Mrs. Jean Jocelyn Odones, and so far, she is the best adviser I have ever known. We learned there to be happy everytime even we're on a bad and hard, and take note, really hard situation. Sadly, most of my classmates didn't make to survive in ESEP. But as I said, it's okay for some to go and some to stay. But that doesn't mean that our friendship will end, we are still a family and it will never change. Now, I'm on my third year of highschool, and I'm really blessed that I'm still in the ESEP class. It's hard and it really makes me crazy, but I won't give up because I know this is only the 'level one' of life, and I will face bigger challenges in the future, and those challenges will make me succesful. Succesful, not just in money or awards, but of course, succesful in facing hardships bravely. I promised to myself that I should show to everyone that I'm deserving to stay. I'm just on my junior year and I'm looking forward for everything that is exciting, adventurous, fun, thrilling, and the moments that will last in me forever. Life in process... Please wait.
