Hi! By the way, I’m Ailene Jennifer Lerios, a lady that
was born on October 16, 1996 on Bislig City, Surigao Del Sur. Just like any
other girl, I was raised in a good family with my loving parents and siblings. I’m
fond of anime, books, music, and some Kpop stuffs. There are a lot of words that could describe
me but I think there is one which I believe describe me the most,
“patient”. I’m not being full of myself
okay? , I’m just telling, typing rather, what I ought to tell in accordance
with this personal background of mine.
At the age of 3, I
started going to school, that’s when I started nursery just in our
hometown. After finishing kindergarten
which is after my nursery I started my elementary at De La Salle John Bosco
College, the same school where I finished my secondary degree at the age of
sixteen. While I was on my 3rd year on secondary level, I got closed
with Hannah, a classmate of mine. We’ve
been through a lot until we became best friends while we’re on our 4th
year level. That’s when I believe that
friendships really bring such color to a certain person’s life. We came to Marawi City together for our
college, we study at the same school, Mindanao State University main campus and
we take the same course which is Accountancy.
Together, we practice on how to be independent and I think that it made
our bond much stronger. In a relationship such as friendship, we couldn’t
prevent things that could ruin it; it’s just on how we handle things. Let’s just
say that I and Hannah had a misunderstanding which led her to transfer to
another school, take another course, and leave me incomplete. Why? A part of me
was gone and I’ve been used with her being around with me, I became dependent
with her presence. Funny thing is that I also shift to another course. I try
hard to adapt with my environment and gladly, I’ve met new individuals that
could be good friends with me. I met this certain person I badly want to be
best friends with; she has a unique personality which I really like. We’ve been
good friends, sometimes there we’re misunderstandings but we were able to
handle such things. After two years of losing contact with Hannah, she called
me on my 19th birthday, we talked about lot of things, we tried to
catch up but there’s still a lot, she asked for forgiveness and asked to get
back everything into the way we used before. I accepted her apology but I
hesitated on her other favor. In the end, I still gave her another chance; I
don’t want to waste more time like those two years. When Hannah left me two
years ago at our cottage or much known for others as boarding house, I’ve been
alone in the room which both of us occupied before, I ate alone, sleep alone,
and live alone. No matter how hard my mother convinced me to transfer into
another cottage; I managed to stay still ‘coz I don’t want to leave our
memories at the said room. As I was saying, I met this new friend which later
made me decide to transfer into her boarding house ‘coz I feel at home there.
When I transferred at that said cottage, I don’t eat, sleep, nor live alone.
That’s the time that I realized how boring my life for two years was. Now, I
have someone to talk to, I have a company whenever I need to go somewhere, I
have someone to jam with during our sound trips, someone who study with me, and
of course someone who motivates me with my hardships. Even the shouts, the
fights and misunderstandings at this place sound fun to me, I’m not being weird
or whatsoever, I think I just missed those kinds of stuffs. I have roommates, and friends; and I really
mean it when I say that I’m GLAD!!!
About my family, I’m
contented and I really love them. My father works to a different town, 7 hours
trip by bus from our home place, my mother takes care of us alone. I’m the
eldest, I have 3 consecutive brothers and we have our youngest girl sibling.
Like any other family, we experienced financial problems and some other common
problems like fight of parents. As the eldest one, I’m the one who’s really
affected. Even now that I study from a far place away from our home, I’m still
the one who is most affected, but still we live as a whole and happily. Our
family likes to go to family trips, we go to places altogether and just enjoy and
make bonds. Some of the places we’ve been through by family trips are the
Tinago Falls, Divine Mercy Statue, Enchanted River and some beautiful beaches.
I am very much close with my cousins. One thing I like about our family is that
we’re made of different kinds of personality, each important and relevant for
our family as a whole. I’m so much glad for having understanding and supportive
parents, I’m glad to have my siblings whom I really love, more than myself. Yeah
right! I put them first before mine; I make sure they have their needs and even
wants before I take care for my own. I’m not saying that I’m the ideal sister; it’s
just how I love my siblings.
About my study, I’m
just an ordinary student, I’m not accelerated or whatsoever, sometimes I excel
and sometimes not. I’m already contented with the course I’m taking right now
which is Marketing under the college of Business Administration and
Accountancy, the same college from before.
One day I believe that I will graduate with this course from this
university which is MSU, and when that time comes, I’ll definitely honor my
parents.
About my belief, I’m a
Christian, a Roman Catholic specifically and I’ll say that I have my faith
strong. I don’t really go to church and attend mass every Sunday but I know
that I have God with me, in my heart, in my life, by my side, carrying me when
I’m not able to get up, and I believe would help me reach my goals in my life
which God has given me. That’s the reason why I’m not afraid to study here in
Marawi even with the fact that this place is a mess, and is an Islamic City. I
HAVE GOD. I BELIEVE IN HIM.
“I HAVE MY DREAMS AND
GOALS.” Like any other people, of course I wanted to be rich soon, but not
really much which for me is already greediness, I just want to be rich enough
to support the needs of my family and attain some wants, and of course help
others. I want to be a successful person soon. I will be a Filipino who is
proud of his/her nationality and race. I will help to aid the economy of my
country, I will be a daughter any parents would be proud of, I want to be an
inspiration to others, I will made my faith much stronger for I’m a child of
God, a fact that would never change.
