Dear Sir Bill and Ma’am Liz,

It’s a beautiful day to you Sir Bill and Ma’am Liz, how’s the weather in your country? How’s your
condition during the winter season?
Regarding my studies, I’m already in my second year of college in the second Semester. We
started our class in the 16th of January, I also enrolled for the second semester, but I’m still not regular
classes because I still have to take some subjects for the 1 st year at the school I transferred to, but even
so, I as happy especially during the 1 st semester of the class, even though we were online, I still met
many new friends, especially in the first year, even though my schedule was a bit hectic, when I was still
studying and taking care of my niece.
I just want to share some of my experience during our first semester with my other professor.
He is very strict when it comes to time and submission on activity and also the time that you take the
quiz and examination, this is very important for him even when the discussion. There were times when
he called me and I didn’t answer right away, because I was nervous and I suddenly got a mental block
from the tension that happened, he suddenly left me in the google meet and I’m shocked by what
happen, I don’t know what to do and I’m thinking that I might fail to his subject, I just pray to God that
his might be a test for me on how I can handle it. I always pray to God that I hope I don’t fail him, but I
think that maybe I have to show my best and I know that this is not the end, maybe I failed the
recitation but there are activities, quizzes, and the final exam that are more. I still need to come from
when he has activities that he sends us, I’m make sure that I pass it on time and also when we did the
final quiz and I gave the final exam, I did my best to finish it on time so that I didn’t waste all my hard
work to get a high grade in him. After all I didn’t do anything but to pray that I pass to his subject, even if
you don’t raise the grade as long as it passes and the release of the grades has come, I haven’t
immediately opened the portal to see my grades because of my student account, and when I fixed it I
was very happy because I got a high grade for his subject and I thanked God that he did not abandon me
in this situation, he always there for me to guide and to know what is the right thing to do, when you
encounter with this situation and you’ve realize that in life there are times when you fail instead of
giving up, this will strengthen your courage to try another opportunity, especially in life it is not always
there, you also need to experience these things sometimes to see what is better for you.
Last October we celebrated the 18 th Birthday of my niece Shaira Gaile. We prepared her
celebration for almost 5 months to be a successful event, which is still surprising because she was just a
child, now she is a teenager and I am happy because of her hard work, studying and taking care of her
two siblings. Her parents and her uncle and aunties really prepared it because he is the first great-
grandchild to debut in our family, so her birthday was really prepared. When the program started the
host prayed first before got to the program he had 18 Roses, 18 Candles, 18 Treasure, 18 Bills and 18
Shots, we also had a little bit intermission number from her friends and classmates and also we have a
little bit presentation coming from the host and the host will sang and everyone at the event was
danced happily and it seemed like a party because the host was able to coordinate people and all the
attendees really dance in front. We are so happy that the event ended happily and successfully.
About my mother as our leader, she is very busy in our group and very active. She’s enjoying
helping people in need like here in our foundation. Besides sponsored youth we have also sponsored
elderly in our group. My mother is happy to help our elderly people with what they need in our
foundation.
This February my cousin gave birth and her baby is a cute and healthy baby girl. We are thankful
that she is a normal delivery and we can’t wait to see her come home and to know her name. To my
brother Jomari, He has moved to his new job and is now training away from our area. Before, he was
working at a Fast Food Restaurant but now he is working at Executive Optical for eye visual. We are
happy to get a new job and we support all he wanted to do to make our life better.
Last December we had a Christmas party celebration. We members discussed that we will just
eat at Fast Food Restaurant and for that we can still bond together. We also had a Christmas grocery, we
bought some pasta, pasta sauce, nestle cream, graham cracker, condensed milk, and some cans of corn
beef for Christmas and New Year eve. We had a happy Christmas and New Year together with our whole
family. We have some parlor games for children and for adults. It’s so much fun and all the bonds of our
family are priceless.
In January we had a meeting together with our new cluster coordinator Ma’am Girlie. We had a
stoplight interview. It is determined here what status you have in your life if you are in poverty class,
middle class, or in high class of the state of life. We also had a Dental forum our three dentists discussed
here, we have Dr. Rene Sangcog, Dr. Rodel, Dr. Danilo Custodio to discussed about the service that can
be done by our dentists and to give reminders for what should you do and should not be done with our
teeth. How about you Sir Bill and Ma’am Liz, do you also go to your dentist? Can I ask how often you
come here? What are the things that you have been busy with during the winter season in your
country? What is your favorite place that you want to go? What food do you mostly like? What is your
favorite movie?
Sir Bill and Ma’am Liz, thank you for never tire of supporting my studies, in my heart you are my
parents and I want to be proud of all my success in life without you I am not here where I am now, thank
you for your financial support, thank you for always remembering my birthday, thank you for
everything. I do my best to finish my school and to be a success in life. May God bless you more for your
goodness and kindness. You are always in my heart We Love You Sir Bill and Ma’am Liz! For this year, I
am aiming to finish the school year and pass this coming semester and successfully do our family events
this year.

By the way, I attached some photos of mine. This photo was taken when we celebrated a
Christmas party and ate at Fast Food Restaurant with my sponsored members. In the left side of the
picture is my mother and next is me and the one who followed me was my sponsored member
Alyhanna, next is Aireas, next one is Angelo and lastly is Sandrene. After we wait for the food that we
ordered we can also talk about school works or the foundation. After we ate we thought of taking a
group picture so we have memories of every Christmas party. Next picture, I’m doing lettering for my
niece’s portfolio for her school. She asks me if I can help her with her portfolio, as for all my nieces,
every time they have something to do with their school work, I always help them as long as I can answer
it. The lastly this photo taken when my niece’s debut we had family pictures in the left of the picture is
