My Life History 

by Joreel L. Montilla 

 

Have you ever wondered what life is really like for someone like me?

My life is like a colorwheel, it has many colors that bears exciting and remarkable meanings. I was born on June 19, 1989 in a simple yet faithful family. My father is a fisherman and my mother is a plain housewife.

Since I was a kid, there are lot of hardships I encountered along the way. In my elementary days, during classes I woke up early in the morning to arrive on time in school, I started to walk with my mother for we are living quite far away from the school but despite of all the sacrifices of my mother, I graduated as a consistent honor student. I am very glad looking at my mother’s face that is so proud of me.

When I enter high school life because of our financial crisis, at a young age I work as a delivery boy of softdrinks and beers during summer in order to buy notebooks and uniforms, sometimes I worked as on call gardener of my school teacher in their house inorder to survive for my studies. For me it is a great challenge and that sacrifices was being paid because in every recognition day my mother always pin a ribbon in my polo and that marks a biggest achievement in my life and make my family proud.

As I enter college life in SSPSC last 2007 twelve years ago, in my first semester in second year I decided to stop because my mother got serious illness. I went to Cebu, Manila and in any other places just to find a job to get more income to be able to sustain the needs for my mother’s health. But despite all those trials and heartaches still I am thankful to God and blessed for my mother’s recovery.

My life has so many to tell, but I will make it short for I cant help hold my tears from falling down. Presently I am residing at purok 4A bucac,bayugan city. I have one handsome son and one beautiful and supportive wife whom I loved them the most and who also serves as my inspiration in making all my dreams to come true. I am currently enrolled at Agusan del Sur College taking up the course of Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English. It is one of my aspiration that someday I will become a good teacher.

The memories I have gained and experienced in my life will never be erased in my mind and be treasured forever until I die.
