My Childhood and Adolescence life Story

I am Gatcho, Japhet, Bargayo. I am 19 years old. I was born on January

28,2002. My father is Danilo Gatcho- he is now 57 years old. My mother is
Wilma Bargayo- she is now 55 years old. I have 9 siblings. I have seven
brothers and three sisters. What I am having in my life is that I am helping
my parents with household chore. Like water dripping, pulling the floor, and
cooking. Aside from that, I also help farms like planting corn and so on. My
Hobbies are singing and dancing. These are my coping mechanism when
I’m in despair situation. In addition, during Saturday we're going to go to the
sea together. They’re teaching me to swim, catch fish catching shells. We
play together on the sand we ran and then when we got home, we were even
picking up wood, so it was worth our trip. The shells we got were sold with
my older brother because we were the only ones who weren't ashamed.
Every Sunday we went to church and after church we went to the field to look
after our crops and the animals we cared for. That's where we play under the
trees like a hideout. I still remember my brother being angry with me because
I was so small that the fruit of coconut was so small. Because of the incident.
That is, it. our parents didn't play us under coconut trees and to get old my
mother picked me up. It was too much but for our good and our safety. My
brothers and sisters were so badly injured, and we just ignored our parents'
instructions. There were also times when my brothers and I were fighting,
and I couldn't force myself to cry and let them go because I was the youngest
of those days. Aside from that, I mock my brothers and sisters as a pig
because I sometimes just eat and don't know how to help us with tasks and
therefore, he's chasing me because he wants to catch me. But every time he
does that to me my parents get angered by him because I'm the youngest
and shouldn't be hurt. These brothers and sisters sometimes struck me
because of my competence. When they're ugly, they can't stand it because
I'm also softening them with their features to me.
Despite the happy times we had in our family there were also events
that I will never forget. There were times when we were unhappy. Because
every time someone gets sick, we don't buy medicine right away. Because
our parents didn't have permanent money. It's up to the point where we need
to go to class to find a way to find money to buy medicine. In fact, I cleaned
the house to the people who understood us. I also once went to the market.
I remember I had earned three pesos in each of the stores I could sell. Almost
all the work I did as a child I could do was done just to help our parents. I am
all so grateful to the Lord that no matter what difficulty we have gone through
our family has not yet erected our belief that the right time will come when
we will also be able to overcome all the trials we face.
If there are those who are generous and always willing to help those in
need, there are also those who are illiterate and who will be indispensable.
These are the ones I've experienced in my life. And what's surprising to
everyone is that these people who work with me are my own relatives. There
have been times when they have bad words to tell me every time, I ask for
help and I don't tell my parents and siblings so there's no mess to do. Every
time it happened, I was screaming and crying and not letting them go. And I
pray to the Lord that I hope he will give me the courage to pursue education
so that I can help our family and to help those who need help so that
everyone can achieve a smile on the lips that no matter what trial of life may
come will remain strong. I always told myself that I was going to go to school,
and I would graduate because it was the only way I could save my family
and not only us but also the society we belonged to. At the very least I am
happy that there are those who believe in my intelligence and cleverness
that even though we are only hard-pressed by God I have the capacity to
cultivate and give me time to develop, shaped in a way that the Lord wants
to be used and used as an instrument that can be taken for the inspirations
of others to achieve the goal of life and succeed no matter what loneliness I
am going to try to test my life.
My inspiration for myself was that my beginning when I was young was
my family because. I always felt their support. They help me keep my dreams
going. I wanted to finish my education so that when the day came, I could
also measure the goodness and the support they gave me. My goal is really
to help those in need. My family is my strength. They guide me on what I
should do. I can always lean on them. Without them, I would not be
purposeful in achieving my dreams. I am inspired by their words.
My childhood days were full of beautiful memories which my father was
a fisherman, and my mother is a housewife. We in our family were very
closed to each other even we are poor because nothings compare to the
happiness, the smiles in our faces living and growing together despite for the
circumstances that we experienced that time. Our family always attends
church and work together. Even in the difficulty of our lives, Lord was still
there to guide us and protect us. I love to plant vegetables with my mother
and father. I also take care of animals like pigs and chickens. I liked
gardening and taking care of animals because I was able to help my parents.
My mother then told me that I didn't cry often. Then she even said that
I had a problem or was afraid I was just acting, and I didn't tell them. I don't
like playing because mama is the only one, I'll always see at home because
my dad is catching fish and my brothers and sisters play with their friends.
Mama also told me I was learning quickly as a child. She was teaching me
to write and read books. That's why I learned quickly in class because he's
on the way when it comes to teaching. There were times I remembered when
mama was teaching me to read then I didn't know how to say anything, so I
didn’t until she scolded me. I am happy when I recall all the things my mom
taught on me.
During in elementary where I could sell fish by my dad in fishing. I was
selling his fish after I returned home from school. I'm not ashamed to sell
because that's the only way we can survive. I still remember people insulting
me when they saw me selling. But it's OK that despite that, there are people
who have good hearts and wills who understand us and help us. Sometimes
I replace my fish rice with people who don't have money either.
My brothers and sisters and I couldn't go to school because my parents
had no money that time, so, my other older siblings were only secondary
because we didn't have the money to go to college. My other brothers and
sisters are also working after they graduate from secondary school.
I am so thankful to God that there are people who helped us so I could
get an education. I became a scholar in the elementary school of people with
good hearts. They studied me not only because we didn't have an education,
but because they could see that I was going to school. That allowed me to
improve my education. Every closing ceremony at school I am happy to see
my parents happy because of the medals I can get. Not only was my family
happy every end of the school year, but the people also who went to school
were happy too. They were my inspiration to be a good student.
As time goes by, of course when I grew up, I felt like something had
changed me. I was always bitter. Sometimes I no longer listen to my
parents' commandments. I often get angry with my brothers and sisters. I
didn't know then why I was that way. I'm not saying what's wrong. But my
academics are still there. I was always early in class. I always listen to the
teacher. I do my assignment. But why did I ask myself that question? I
always hoped I could get back to my old habit.
During my adolescence, I am very active in my studies and
productive. And at the same time, I teach my nephews. I teach them to
write and read. I'm really focusing on my education so I can graduate from
secondary school.
However, I've always loved watching tv shows. I watch movies with
my friends. I love to be with my friends. My friends are wonderful people,
and we understand each one. We respect what we differ from ourselves.
There are many things I will never forget from childhood to the present. I
can't quite imagine that a lot of people support me.
Of everything I have been through in my life, whether it's fun or lonely
the Lord always gives strength and support so that I don't lose hope. It's so
funny to me that I'm so sorry at a time when my world is sad for me. Tears,
sadness, and grief that I have experienced have always been resolved.
There were times when I could tell myself that I couldn't, but I always
remembered the people around me who were constantly building me up
and that every rise I had some new lessons that shaped my character. At
my young age I understand the world more and more that it's like a fall and
it's not going to get any more defeat in the game of life. So, every time I
stumble on the path, I'm on my way in my life I just cling to the Lord because
there is no impossible when I believe in him.
Here I am today, I had just finished secondary school as an honor
student. Every effort I make to me has consequences that I've been able
to pick up that no one can take away from me. The consequences of my
difficulty and patience in life are not certificates or medals but knowledge.
Every knowledge I learned was not just school, it was often in my
surroundings. In a society where I ignored the ridicules of those who tried
to judge me in the state of my life. Every word they rock me makes me an
inspiration to who I am to continue and not swallow the mockers I will
destroy. on the other hand, I am now a first-year college student who will
continue to fight to be a great child and a man. Someday if I graduate from
my course and become a teacher, I will teach each student the skills I can
learn. Teaching youth is a powerful way to cultivate each other's
knowledge. Because these are the things, I learned from teachers that they
have challenged my character where they teach me lessons that I will
pursue as a weapon in achieving my dreams and to serve as an inspiration
to other people, to other students like me as a simple hard but with full
heart and with faith in God. Because I know that God will always guide me,
and He will always be there to provide and sustain my needs. In gods will
everything is possible if the people are willing to surrender and ready to
receive all the blessing He will give. Because God is almighty, and He is
omniscient. He knows everything that even if his son hasn't asked for it,
he's already provided something for it.
So, I'm so grateful to the people who have always been there who
support me. To my teachers from elementary school and my future
teachers in this battle. To my family, that despite the difficulties we are
going through you have never stopped giving me advice and support.
Because this fight is against all of us. And to my friends that even if you
have a tantrum, you always make a way for us to be competitive and move
forward and move forward with our dreams in life that in time we will
succeed. And thank you Lord for providing me the people who truly matter.
They are my backbone and my strong pillar. If I can tell my story in my life
and I'm hoping that it's going to be taken for granted. Thank you and God
bless us all.
