It was around 11 o’clock in the morning, Wednesday, the 25th
day of October 1995, while everyone were so busy harvesting their crops, my
mother gave birth to me in a hospital in the City of Cabanatuan and delivered
me caesarian that almost cost her life, and I got the chance to exist in this
world. I was named after the famous Hollywood singer, Janet Jackson whom my
father idolized most. My aunts and uncles used to call me “neth” and my cousins
sometimes called me “jan-jan.
I am a
simple girl who enjoys doing lots of things. I love surfing the net, playing
badminton and volleyball, eating and sleeping. I’m a girl who used to be
talkative and sometimes being called “makulit”. I’m easy to be with, a funny
girl but sometimes moody. I have the attitude of being childish and sometimes
immature because I am the youngest in our family.
Now lets go
back in time. During my childhood, I spent my time more on playing just like
what an ordinary child does. I used to play with my cousins and with my
neighbors that most of the time caused me not to eat my meals. I grew up with
my parents namely Nonita Almodovar and Lunuel Ramos together with my older sister Shiela, in the
small town of Cuyapo in Nueva Ecija “The Rice Bowl of the Philippines”. This
town is where our Filipino hero Apolinario Mabini was arrested by the Americans
on December 10,1899. We lived here very happy since I was young together in
with my big family in my mother’s side. As I’m growing up, my mother sent me to
school and started my kindergarten and my elementary grade in a public school
in our town. My seven years in studying made me feel not that too hard because
there were no many worries and problems to think about. I finished my
elementary on 2006 and graduated as a valedictorian.
The next stage
of my life started as a high school student. As everyone says, high school is
the best time for everyone’s life. I strongly agree about this. But when I
started this phase of my life, I found myself having difficulty to adjust. I
lived together with my grandparents during those times. Its quite hard but I
get to used on it. I discovered many new things, met new faces and friends and
also a new environment. I found it very enjoyable, full of experience and full
of memories. I met my friends here who are now my best friends as well as my
favorite teacher “Maam Netty”. During those precious moments, I do a lot of
things as a student. I am the secretary of the Supreme Student Government, a
CAT officer and a writer in our school paper. I travel around Nueva Ecija to
join lots of contest. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don’t, but it doesn’t
matter. What matters most is the
experience and the lessons that I’ve learned. I’ve also been into commitments
like other teen agers. But even for a short period of time, I can say that this
is one part of my life that made me feel what a teen ager is and a high school
student. I finished my high school in Cuyapo National High School and graduated
as a salutatorian.
Now I’m leaving my hometown and all of the good times I had
in it. I’m starting a new life again. The college life. New surroundings, new
faces. new friends and a new environment. I found it too hard to move here in
the City, a strange place for me then. My life as a college student was really
hard for me. I cry most of the time. I was nervous because college is too
different from high school. There’ll be no Maam Netty, Sir Mark or Even Maam
Tess to give me advice. In this battle, I have to fight alone and depend on no
one but myself with the guidance of our Almighty Father. I know that time will
come that I will be able to fully adapt in my environment. My college journey
has just started. Soon, I will learn and develop. And the whole planet will see
me evolving. J
