I’m Rejie Maniego Polacas, living in Sto. Rosario, San Luis,
Pampanga, a student of San Luis National High School, and at the age of 16, is on the road of maturity and adulthood. I have a mother of 37 y/o, father of 44 y/o, and a little sister of 12 y/o. My father is making a living away from us, he is an OFW and a car painter in Dubai, UAE. Being the firstborn, I have the of responsibilities to be understanding, caring, protective, strict, and be responsible on my family while my father is away from us, that’s what my father taught me to be when I was a child and what a surprise, I became exactly like that, I was understanding of my sister mistakes, I was caring and protective of my mother, father, and sister, and I was also strict to the way my sister present herself and to the way she speak, being responsible is in my bones. Now im grade 11 and starting to mature and im starting to enter the world of adults and it is exciting on my part because I will be facing new challenges, and i'm not the one to back away from one, I will face it with all my heart and I will carry the burdens on me with my back straight, a little words of inspiration from me is that, giving up just because you can’t is just you being cowardly, when you can’t do it anymore, that’s the sign to start again with a greater and much better resolve.
