my life expeditions.

One dark night a little girl was born on July 1, 1999 at Santo Niño Carmen, Davao del Norte. A
braved mother named Cheryl S. Go-opio gave her a safe delivery despite of dangerous situation of
fighting between life and death. The cute little angel was given by a named of Celisty Faith S. Go-opio it
was a name combination of her both grandmother, her father’s mother named Premitiva and her
mother’s mother Cecilia, a Faith given because of their tight despair beliefs in God.

Undefined feelings of excitement, joyful and timorous happened felt by her understanding
caring father named Geovannie S. Go-opio, everyone was amaze and worried and nailed their fit that
day forasmuch as the holdaper enters the hospital and hide under the sink were the little baby putted at
the top where the holdaper hide. Father was very anxious of thinking what to do as much as he observes
the holdaper hidden under the sink and look where his wife lay on her bed near the sink also the guards
notice it, they plan to trap the holdaper as the baby will be discreet by the situation but heaven on earth
happened a clueless nurse came and went to the sink to get the baby and wrap it in a small blanket she
didn’t recognized that she step the hand of the holdaper whereas it leads the way of her father to pull it
out under the sink everyone was gracefully inhaled like they’ve been watching an action movie.

Weeks passed by and the doctor declared that they will be discharge on the hospital, and her
grandfather Bonifacio D. Saturinas and Flavio M. Goopio Sr. packed all the things they’ve been using in
the hospital and waiting to call their names to pay the depth in the cashier while her mother preparing
herself to go home. After a while they already went home at Purok 9-A, Alejal, Carmen, Davao del Norte
everyone has tired and relaxing their selves because they need to go in the farm they are all labors but
her mother is a house wife. All people were excited to saw the little girl because she is the first
grandchild of the mother side and the youngest grandchild in the father side also the first child of her
parents.

How many months passed by Faith is 5 months old when she baptized on that day her parents
also accept the life of the holy Eucharist through marriage on December 25, 1999 at Immaculate
conception in mount Carmel parish in Carmen, the family accept the new foundation of life to be part of
Christians or Roman Catholic. After wards her mother decided to finish her studies in high school but
her mother got pregnant but her mother continues it until she passed and graduate but her tummy’s
start to expand. Faith was excited about the baby every morning she listened the baby on her mother’s
tummy but she didn’t know if that was a boy or a girl. Then on July 17, 2004 her mother already gave
birth to his brother on the same hospital where she was born.

Everyone is rejoice because of another additional baby in the family named Jess Ivan S. Go-opio,
Faith is used to practice carry her brother and watching him to breast feed by her mother, she was
happy to have a little brother. But the attention she had was never been before and she accept that
though she felt jealousy and being discriminated because of the attention get by his brother to those
people who surround her, specially when her brother already baptized and she wants to have a another
toy but her grandmother pinch her tiny part of the right side of her tummy and the reason for her to cry
but she realize that it was her fault because she was being naughty and hard headed.

After wards another blessing came into their lives her mother got pregnant and it was a baby
girl. Faith started to felt the different treating. She always had been accused when her brother cried.
When her mother gave birth her sibling on January 9, 2006, Faith started to know how to cook rice and
viand on her own way. Every morning she wash the dishes and cook a rice to help her father in house
hold choirs while her mother stay at bed relaxing the swore wound she had on giving birth of her sibling
named Geomiche S. Go-opio. It was hard but exciting at the age of 7 she already knows how to cook and
clean the house.

But a year passed by she had another sibling named Janah Mae Yvonnie S. Go-opio and born on
January 20, 2007 at Davao Doc Hospital. Faith thought that it would be the last sibling she had it was
hard for her to adjust and the tasks she had took in their house was a little bit difficult because she was
the eldest child she needs to follow what is the assign household choirs for her. Though she had
experience some old discipline practices but she thinks that all the practice she took from her parents
can be used when the right time will come.

Two years later another baby boy was born on March 23, 2009 and got by his named Geovannie
S. Go-opio Jr. he was born in Santo Niño Carmen, they’ve been experiencing financial crises because of
some land issues at the age of 10 she knows how to find ways for her to get some allowance by making
projects for her classmates to help her mother and father on her own way.

Until all of her siblings was studied at Alejal Elementary School, and she’s in the high school at
Alejal National High School, instead of riding a vehicle she used to walk going up her school to budget
her 10 pesos allowance every day, and partake some school activities includes varsity for her to get
allowance. She choose to take the hard ships in life after practicing volleyball for a competition she
washed the dishes, cooked foods, and washing clothes when she already went home even though her
mother and father against that she’s part of a varsity but she pursue it. She was very excited when
competition came, because she received her allowance.

In that routine she passed the grade 10 and part of commencement exercise her mother and
father cannot believe it because they thought that their child was a bastard because she went home late
and she’s quiet naughty and hardheaded sometimes and her parents clueless about she’s been doing at
school, they also thought that the money that Faith had was the stealing money at the pocket but they
were wrong.

Her mother felt guilt about it but she understand all the doubts of her parents, then her mother
tell about the K-12 they can’t afford the school that where she wants to study she accept it and enrolled
on the same school where she finished her grade 10 she took the (HUMSS) program which is
Humanities on Social Sciences. She dreamed to study in a prestigious school but her mother cannot
afford it so she find ways to follow her dreams she decided to enter a religious life and become a nun.
 Faith was discerned also to become a nun so she took the opportunity to part of it. Though it
was hard because the practices living in a community is different from living of simple family practices, a
big sacrifice needed and willingness to learn the routines on how you’re going to manage your time on
prayer, household tasks, rest time and the hours of eating.

She experience self-crisis the reason is, she need to let go of her habitual routines also she’s far
of her family, she choose to attained the difficulties to catch her dreams, she was transferred in
Assumpta School one of the prestigious schools in Mankilam Tagum City, she suffered a lot difficulties
but it is not the hindrance hence it push you to be patient and wait the right time. After 2 years Faith
was already graduate and finished her k-12 and she decided to surrender her choosing career because
she felt that it was not her call so she decided to proceed a college but her mother cannot afford it so
she choose to enroll in TESDA DHVACTRT program, her target was to get NCII to apply in a military she
also thinks that it might be helpful for her someday to get a job for her to proceed a degree. Until now
she dream big but she chose to be practical in life.

No matter how hard it is, or no matter what happened there always away to find and choose
your journey but you need to be able to follow the steps so that you need to be strong enough to face
the consequences in life and that’s how my journey is in life.
