Life of rizal from 0-8 yrs. Old

In June 19, 1861 Jose Rizal was born in Calamba, Laguna, as the seventh child of Francisco
Mercado Rizal and Teodora Alonso y Quintos. At the Catholic of Calamba, he was baptized JOSE
RIZAL MERCADO by the parish priest Rev. Rufino Collantes, with Rev. Pedro Casañas serving as the
sponsor. During September 28, 1862 the canonical books, including the one containing Rizal's baptismal
records, as well as the parochial church of Calamba were torched. 1864, Barely three years old, Rizal
learned the alphabet from his mother. Conception, the eighth child in the Rizal family, passed away at the
age of three when rizal was four years old. Rizal remembers having shed his first genuine tears on this
particular occasion. 1865 – 1867, His mother taught him how to read and write during this period. His
father recruited Leon Monroy, a classmate who taught Rizal the fundamentals of Latin for five months
before passing away. Two of his mother's cousins visited Calamba around this time. While Uncle
Gregorio, a scholar, instilled a love of learning into the young boy's mind, Uncle Manuel Alberto, seeing
Rizal frail in body, was concerned with the physical development of his young nephew and taught the
latter love for the open air and developed in him a great admiration for the beauty of nature. He advised
Rizal: "Work hard and perform every task very carefully; learn to be swift as well as thorough; be
independent in thinking and make visual pictures of everything." In June 6, 1868 In order to fulfill his
mother's promise to accompany the kid to the Shrine of the Virgin of Antipolo should they both live
through the difficult labor and delivery that almost cost his mother her life, Rizal traveled to Antipolo
with his father. They traveled to Manila to see his sister Saturnina, who was enrolled at the La Concordia
College in Sta. Ana.

He hasn't produced any works at this age, however he has composed a poem.

When Rizal was eight years old, he composed his first poem entitled “Sa Aking Mga Kabata.”
The poem has a topic and was written in Tagalog “Love of One’s Language.”

When Uncle Manuel Alberto advised Rizal: "Work hard and perform every task very carefully;
learn to be swift as well as thorough; be independent in thinking and make visual pictures of everything."
that I'm aware of how important it is for us to succeed in life and have a bright future.
