My life has been a roller coaster. My past is filled of both joy and turmoil, from vacations in the Philippines to the problems with my parents and their separation. However my life has still been a joy and an amazing experience. Since i was very young, I was raised as a well-mannered boy, always reminded constantly to say please and thank you, hold the doors for others, everything parents would expect of their child. I grew up into a Man. My experiences as a child were many and vast. I traveled the world each summer going to places like the China, Japan, California, Florida, Minnesota, and of course, where my parents originally came from the Philippines. This exposed me to many cultures as a young boy. As i grew older, I grew to realize how vast and expansive the world was. I also realized the extreme poverty in Third World Countries, but i realized that theres also beauty in these places. Places like the Philippines beaches, Carribean beaches, the amazon rainforest, Tokyo’s Cityscape all have gorgeous scenery and fantastic views. It took my breath away each time I would stop and look.
College is quite different however. I expected it to be much harder but enjoy every moment of it. I started school and I thought, “Wait, This isn’t so bad.” I realized that it wasn’t that it was easy, it was that I was well prepared for college. It was all of my experiences in high school and life that I have no worries about college. It is thanks to my parents, teachers, friends and family that I love college and everything that comes with it.
