AUTOBIOGRAPHY

I am Amerry-gale San Mateo Echavari, I was born on

February 05, 2003 at Pacac Grande Amulung Cagayan. I am
the second child of my mom and dad. My mom is Loriebelle
San Mateo Echavari while my dad Arnel Salud
Battuelo.Their first child is Mark Arnel Echavari
Battuelo. You might get curious because my brother and I
have different family names despite of having the same parents. Here is a
simple explanation for that, our parents got separated when we were young
because my father got into relationship with his mother’s laundress. As
our aunt’s and neighbors said, I was 3 or 4 months old when that
happened.the moment my mom decides to cut the ties with my dad was the
moment my brother and I got separated.my mom decides not to put my dads
family name to me since she was the only one who took care of me. Our dad
get my brother to live with them to complete their family while I was left
with my mom whom soon after left me to her parents to go to abroad in order
to provide my needs.
As I got older, I learned to live independently. I was at the 6th
grade when I was chosen to compete and represent our school in a district
competition which I have to go to another school. Every contestants before
attended the event together with their parents while I am only with the
assigned teacher. As a kid, I got a bit jealous but I think I got immune
already so as time goes by I just felt nothing every time I had to compete
without my parents support.it was enough for me that they support me
financially since its the only way for me to survive. Thankfully, I
survived the primary school and graduated at Pacac Grande - Tana,
Elementary School. Then, I took another step in learning and enrolled at
Pacac Grande, National High School. Nothing changes, I stepped on the stage
and grabbed hands of my classmates parents whom I barely know just to have
a so called parent to be with me whenever my name was called for an
academic achievement. I graduated in Junior & Senior High school without
even one sign of my parents in the assembly’s attendance sheet. Its normal
for me to hear some insults like, brain is useless if no one is proud of
it. And I just let it slip in their tongues and trigger them more for I am
not just an academic awardee but also receive awards for having such a
great service in the community.
Every achievements and knowledge seems to fade the moment I enter in
the university I am enrolled right now. Not because of teachers capability
to teach but because of my capability to learn. Maybe I just got used to
enter in classrooms, sat in my chair and read the books or anything written
in my notes. But now, it seems like I got locked in my comfort zone. In the
four corners of this room whom witnessed my breakdowns, witnessed how I
cried, how I hurt myself from overthinking, how I blamed myself for being
not old enough to stop the separation of my parents, for telling how cruel
the world for giving me such a catastrophe at my very young age.I was
locked in the room which serves as my comfort zone but also the place which
reminds me how deem and dull the life I had.
It was 5th of February year 2021 when I celebrated my 18th birthday.
For others its a very special occasion but for me its just a time to gather
and let others know that I am an official lady or woman, which might result
to more expectations and more disappointments. I celebrated it with my mom
and some relatives. Then after that, no more important events happen. Every
day is a normal day for me.
Not until I had given the opportunity to be elected as SK kagawad,
became an officer of the three youth organizations and lead the youth in
different activities of our community. I was also employed as a SPES
Beneficiary (Special Program of Employment for Students). I thought the
moment I entered the world of legality would give more struggles and ups
and downs. But never thought that the very moment I stepped on this legal
world was the start of opportunities and lessons. Instead of staying in my
room for entirety, I had given the chance to mingle with youth like me to
enlighten them in the world of darkness.
Despite of the catastrophe’s that I had faced in the past 19 years,
it taught me the passion and the desire to become a lawyer. To give
guidance to the children like me who lived to be a victim of adultery.
Having this dream might lessen my pain and might helped those innocent
minds to get through the dilemma’s they are facing because of rudeness
acts of their parents. I lived living the consequences of my dad’s
mistake. Now, I am taking up Bachelor of Science in legal Management at
Cagayan State University-Andrews Campus. To pursue my dream and my goal in
life.
