Autobiography

Jacob Bartolome is my name, and I was born in Batac, Ilocos Norte, on the 3rd of January, 2005. My

mother, 52, and father, 50, are my parents' ages. Delia and Edgar Bartolome were my parents. My

parents are both really lovely people who believe in Jehovah's Witnesses. As a result, I am pleased to

state that they led me in the right direction and that I have avoided undesirable habits.

It was a lot of fun growing up for me. I went to our barangay's private school. I have a lot of

pals to play with on a daily basis, back when devices didn't have as much of an impact on kids and we

used to play marbles, patintero, and other physical games. I had a lot of those as well. I used to have a

lot of academic prizes back then, and to be honest, I was the valedictorian of our 6th / primary school

graduation. When I gave my speech, my heart was racing so quickly that it was completely

embarrassing. But, due to God Jehovah and my parents, I'm delighted I was able to accomplish those

goals. They are constantly there to chastise me and teach me the proper way to behave.

My love for my parents and for our God has grown stronger as I've grown older. Our entire

family goes to our Kingdom Hall on Fridays for our weekly meeting, as well as on Sundays for our

weekend gathering.

Time passed, and a new era dawned, with phones, computers, and a slew of other devices

becoming people's everyday companions. I've developed a strong addiction to mobile games,

particularly the game Mobile Legends. My concentration has shifted away from my studies. On my

way to my objectives, I got off track. My mother always chastises me for spending so much time on

my phone playing games. I've tried so many times to quit it, but I always end myself doing it again.

But I never gave up; instead, I appealed to God for assistance in stopping it. And, happily, I was able to

put a stop to it. I tried to get back on track with my education and my aspirations, which include full-

time service to God. I'm still working hard to reach these objectives, attempting to deepen my

knowledge of God and strengthen my connection with Him.
