When I was a child my mother went abroad to work so, my father took over the
responsibility of taking care of me. My father is a very strict man. He easily gets irritated and
mad especially when a person is careless on things. As a child I would always want to watch
cartoons and Barbie but for him I cannot learn something from watching cartoons. So, I always
watch action movies and discovery channel and those kinds of TV shows with him. He is also a
man who likes to help others. His friends ask him for some good advice. He was the one who
taught me how to understand things and that people would always do and want what’s good for
their loved ones.
There was also a time when my father went abroad to work. My parents left me to my
grandparents. I think most of the time, even when my parents are around; my grandparents were
the ones really taking care of me which was why I felt so sad when my grandfather died. My
grandfather was also strict when comes to education but he is also very loving.
There were a lot of conflicts in our family then. I remembered the time when my parents
separated. I lived with my grandmother because she asked mu mother to leave me with her. My
grandmom took the responsibility of my parents and she also took over the responsibility of my
grandfather in the house. She can sew and she can also do carpentry. She can cook and she also
knows how to fix things that are broken, those kinds of stuff that most girls would have to
depend on boys to do. She’s hardworking and strong. I think it also is an advantage that I was
there not only to have someone to help her but so she can have me to be with her. She also is a
very strict woman; she’s overprotective especially when I already had my menstruation. I think it
was really on purpose that we stayed together. When my grandfather died, I was there to be with
her, even though there were times that she would left me alone at the house because she also has
meetings, and when my parents separated, a situation that made me so confused and depressed,
my grandmother was there for me. I understood how she felt. She had the most significant
impact in my life. She’s like the person who taught me things that I would need in life so I can
survive. Seeing her and what she does made me see that life will always keep moving forward.
As I grew up, I had been more aware of family situations. The separation of my parents
also made me closer to my mother. At first, it was so difficult because we would always fight.
And since I grew up with my father’s side of the family, I have some attitudes learned from them
and my mother will always tell me that I am more like my father, strict. However, as I grew up

we have established a good relationship. I tell her almost all of my problems in school, in the
house, and with my father. She’s the person that I can really talk to. She’s the person who taught
me that I can be what I want to be and that I have the will to choose to have a good life or not.
She also taught me that pain and problems with get the most of you if you let it but you still have
a choice to be happy.
