AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Christian B. Gacosta

A boy who was supposedly living in poverty. Yes, that’s me. I am

Christian B. Gacosta currently living in Binangonan, Rizal with my
family. I have a sibling of 1 older sister, 2 younger brothers and
sisters. Why did I say I was supposed to live in poverty? The answer
is simple. If it weren’t for my parent’s hard work, I find myself
struggling to find something to eat. We used
to settle in Sorsogon, Bicol where my
grandparents live. We live here for about 2
years before my father found a job in
Binangonan, Rizal as a Baker. My mother and my
father brought me and my older sister here in
Rizal and they manage to build our own bakery.
The first thing I remember since being born is
the time when we already have our own bakery.
I was around 4 years old back then.

Let’s fast forward towards the time I

started my education. My parents enrolled me
in kindergarten where I met my first crush.
She was very cute, and I got to hold her hand
in our graduation. Sadly, I didn’t get to see
her anymore.
 After kindergarten, I enrolled in the same school for my
elementary education. My time in elementary
has been very fun and I got to experience
different things that I still holds dear even
now. While I was taking my elementary
education, the business my parents build was
getting stronger. We managed to build a
separate house near our bakery and settle
there. My life was very far from what I was
supposed to be. So, I am proud that I am very
blessed for having hardworking and loving
parents.

After graduating from elementary, I enrolled in High School. My

journey in High School was full of up and downs. I enrolled in Don
Jose M. Ynares Sr. Memorial National High School assuming I would
finish my Junior High School education there
but after finishing grade 7, my mother
transferred me to Mahabang Parang National
High School because of the distance from my
former school. While studying in Mahabang
Parang National High School, I met my 2 best
friends and my first girlfriend, though we
already broke up years ago because of my
personal mistake. However, my life in Junior
High School has been very fun thanks to these
two.
 Moving up to Senior High
School, I enrolled in Morong
National High School where I
discovered my competitiveness in
school. My section won different
contest like Festival and Jingle
Making Contest. I also participated
in Divisional School Press
Conference however, we didn’t win. I
also met different kinds of people in Morong National High School and
formed a group of friends. Graduation doesn’t mean the end because we
still be friends.

Then, pandemic strikes. We all have been affected by the sudden

change in our country including our education system. We now study in
front of our laptops and gadgets. It also affected our business due to
restrictions especially our business involves in the food industry.
Even still, I still find a way to have fun especially with the helps
of my family and friends. I am hoping that me and my family will be
happy on whatever the future holds.
