Autobiography

When I was a child, my parents were my grandmother and grandfather. Yes, I

grew up with my grandmother and I can say that even though I didn't live with my
parents when I was growing up, I was blessed because I had a grandmother who was
always there for me. It's not a joke to grow up without a guiding parent, what you can
call mom and dad. Let's say I have a grandmother, but it's a different feeling to have a
father and mother by your side.When I was younger, I pouted because I also wanted
parents who would always be there for me, but as I grew older, I started to see the
realities of the world. I had no animosity against my parents, but I did have a greater
understanding of them. To meet their children's requirements, they force them to go a
great distance. and right now I'm giving my parents encouragement to finish so they
won't have to travel far to help out my siblings. we will always love our parents because
being a parent is not a joke everything they do is only for our children so reward it with a
diploma.

Biography

Being a mother is not a joke; as a child, I am witness to what my mother went

through since she chose me over her future. So I chose to publish the story of my life
and that of my mother. As a child, I am happy to have been born into this world, but
have you ever asked what your mother's experience was before you entered her life? At
the age of 21, my mother made me pregnant, and that's the day she stopped studying.
At the same time, with her dream, like me, she also wanted to be a teacher, and she
chose me over her dreams. I can say she was very lucky, because I have a mother who
chose to live with her child instead of aborting like those who get pregnant early. I was
very lucky to have her in my life, and since I came out of her womb, I have been her
dream. She dreamed of everything that would be good for me. As a mother, it was not
easy while I was growing up; she has gone through a lot of hardships in her life, and I
admire my mother because, until now, she has been strong in everything. As a child,
the only thing I can now give to my parents, especially my beloved mother, is my
diploma.
 Memoir

At the beginning of class this year, I'm nervous because I'm a transferee, and at
the same time, I'm the oldest among my classmates. I don't know what adjustments I'll
make. I'm always praying that I'll have friends, and God answered my prayer after the
first quarter. I met a new friend, and I can say that our circles of friends are the most
solid of all because there are good memories with them: nature trips, food trips, laugh
trips, crying, laughing, nothing, and giving advice to each other, which is not what I
expected. This is the part of my life that is very memorable because I found friends who
are real and reliable in everything, and above all, family is considered.

Manansala was born on January 22, 1910 in San Roque, Macabebe, Pampanga.
From 1926 to 1930, he studied at the U.P. School of Fine Arts. In 1949, Manansala
received a six-month grant by UNESCO to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Banff
and Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In 1950, he received a nine-month scholarship to study
at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris by the French government.He also trained at the
Otis School of Drawing.Manansala's paintings are the best and were celebrated as the
best of the barrio and the city together. His Madonna of the Slums is a portrayal of a
mother and child from the countryside who became urban shanty residents once in the
city. In his Jeepneys, Manansala combined the elements of provincial folk culture with
the congestion issues of the city.Vicente Manansala, a National Artist of the Philippines
in Visual Arts, was a direct influence to his fellow Filipino neo-realists: Malang, Angelito
Antonio, Norma Belleza and Manuel Baldemor. The Honolulu Museum of Art, the Lopez
Memorial Museum (Manila), the Philippine Center (New York City), the Singapore Art
Museum and Holy Angel University (Angeles City, Philippines) are among the public

section of its museum called The Vicente Manansala Collection, holding most of the
estate left by the artist.

True narrative

Throughout my life, I've learned to be happy and look at things in a positive way
because that's how I was raised. I'm passionate, hardworking, ambitious and most of all
I have a great family. My family loves to have fun, make jokes, and live life to the
absolute fullest.But as time goes by and my age increases, my stability is tested more
and more. Everyone comes to a point in their lives when they think they can't handle the
test they are facing, and it happened to me too. I was tested by the Lord, I'm back in
grade 11, and this is the time I'm so depressed because I'm not used to falling,
especially when it comes to grades, but we don't know what will happen to us as time
goes by. The Lord shaped me even more; he gave me courage to fight everything, and
now I'm a graduating student taking the track of humanities and social sciences
(HUMSS), and with honor I can say that if you give up on the test or challenge in life,
you lose.

Personal narrative

When I was six, I was enrolled in a kindergarten class at a small academy. It was
located 3 blocks away from our house and we have to cross the road to get there.
Anyway the academy wasn't only small but it was dingy as well. There were only two
classrooms with few small tables and chairs and book shelves. The classrooms were
painted shabbily with its pastel green paint covering the walls and since it was dark,
they have to turn on the fluorescent lights which made us squint a lot. The floor was
dirty too, but not the kind of dirty that will disappear if someone will mop it but it was like
the dirt was stuck there forever.But in the four corners of the classroom that I woke up
in, this is where all my dreams began. I was 6 years old when I started to dream. Every
time I go to school, my teacher's smile immediately opens up. He was the first teacher
who inspired me to become a teacher because I believe that everything starts with
education. If not for the patient teachers, we can't learn to read, write, or count, and we'll
just remain ignorant of everything. And now I'm a senior high school student, a
graduating student, and when I enter college, the course I'll take is education or
becoming a teacher because I want to be able to develop our country through education
because all dreams begin with education.

Travelogue

When I was little, I was used to traveling to different places because, with my
parents' work, they moved to another place to sell their goods there. Every summer they
take us with their mother to their destination, and I can say that one of the most
beautiful places I've ever been to is Pangasinan in Dagupan City. One of the resorts we
stayed at for 3 months was the Tondaligan Beach Resort; there are cottages that can
be rented there. to sleep. Every morning you can breathe fresh air because of talisay
trees and coconut trees. Every morning with my brothers and dad, we walk along the
beach. You can step on fine sand and also see many sheels, coral reefs, crabs, and
starfish that drift on the beach. Every afternoon, you will welcome the sun while
returning home, and you can hear the lapping of the sea on the quiet and cold side of
the sea. I didn't even grow up here, but I can say that this is one of my safe places; this
is our place that I will come back to.

Reflection Essay

I can say that this activity is one of the best activities because here you
remember your past from childhood to adulthood, everything you went through and
experience in life, all the problems and how you overcame them. fun and unforgettable
that incident in your life, sad and gives us a lesson. I publish it and also give inspiration
to people who read your story because they can learn from it.

Testimonio

Then even in the most impossible situations, miracles can become possible. The
good thing about miracles is that we don't have to wait for them to happen. They
happen every day and sometimes even little changes are enough to see big
miracles.Still, there are other miracles that we tend to forget: The sun rises and sets
each day; small seeds grow into mighty trees; the many components of our body work
together, enabling us to breathe, run, dream, and eat. I have heard so many testimonies
from different people, and I can say that God is amazing and that God is very good in
everyone's life. We may not even notice it, but every day the Lord works miracles in our
lives. Sometimes we have nothing, or maybe we left our pockets and a friend freed us,
or you are our class. This is what is called a simple miracle. The Lord works in the lives
of every person every day. We don't just appreciate it or notice it, but he uses people to
make him an instrument and reach out to His love, and I considered that a miracle.you
should be grateful for everything that happens to you whether good or bad because I
know that everything that happens in our lives has a reason you will always remember
that the Lord has a bigger plan for us than our plan for ourselves.
