 Autobiography

“ I’m always with you no matter what happens” it was the

famous credo of my most trustworthy best friend; GOD. He
never left me no matter what happens and whenever and
wherever I am. And now, I saw myself standing in the stage
preparing for my valedictory speech. Everyone is watching
me, everyone especially my proud parents. I never expected
that I will be the class valedictorian and I am very happy
during that day because it was a very special day, and, on
that day, I am special.
Since when I was a child, my parents always remind me
that the only asset I have is my intelligence and myself. So,
in order to have a greater life that we had, they always said that I must study hard because it is
the only thing that they can give on me. We don’t have fancy gadgets, delicious foods, and a
glamourous house instead we only have a small, simple and decent house, not so fancy foods
and we don’t have any gadgets. In other words, we are living in a mediocre life. But this is not
enough to stop me achieving my dreams on life. Instead I make them as inspirations. I always
think that “ I must study hard and be on the top so that I can have a greater life than this”. My
father is only a sales man in the Robinsons Supermarket. My mother is only a housewife so
basically, my parents can’t give me a glamourous and fancy life that I always wanted.

June 2005, I was four years old when I first go to school. My parents said that the teachers
would be delighted if I will enroll on the school not because they wanted to have many students,
but they saw my potential and they are willing to teach and nourish my talents. Technically, I’m
not supposed to study and enroll on next year because I’m too young for school. But my parents
are still wiling to send me on school because they want me to be a great and successful person.
During my school days, my classmates are much older than me. Not only older but bigger and
taller. I thought that they will be scary because they look like monsters that will eat me but as
days passed by, I gradually adopts on my new environment. But during that time my mother
got pregnant and she is unable to assist me on school. Due to the undying love of my parents
for me, they decided to drop me out from school because they didn’t want me to go on school
alone. After nine months, my sister was born. Honestly at first, I didn’t want that because my
life will have a great changes because I will be a brother now and I’m not the only child now
because I have a sister. And also, their time will be divided, and I got jealous on that.

After the birth of my sister, my parents decided to send me in school again but this time, I’m
on the right age and my classmates will be more likely to be the same age as mine so I don’t
have to worry about the differences, honestly , I find it difficult when I was in daycare because
I don’t know much about reading or writing. But I didn’t let tis happen. I tried to do more extra
effort to read and write I read lot of books, tried to write any words that I saw even though it was
difficult. Then my effort was not wasted. During the exams, class recitations, or even quizzes I
never got a failed grades again. And as a result, I became the top 1 student of our class. After
that the graduation came. My parents were so proud on me because they knew that they had
a great child. From that day on, I began to like to study hard and it became my hobby.

During my elementary days, I faced a lot of challenges. Because again I must adopt on new
environment again. On the first day of the class, all of my classmates last year are in the room
but some of them are new faces and it seems like they are transferees. Months has passed,
and the semester is nearly on the halfway to its end. And in that moment the one of the biggest
and loneliest part of my life has come. It was the moment when my mother decided to work on
abroad. And that was not good for me because first and foremost, I will not able to see my
mother for years and second how about my life? What will happen on me? I don’t have someone
to be called as mom and someone who will guide me and the someone to be proud of whenever
I have achievements. Nobody will fetch me from school, carry my bags or bring me some food
on school. It was very emotional for me. Honestly, when my mom left, my life become more
difficult. Because I have to live and guide myself on my own. If you are going to ask where my
father is, well honestly, he did his very best to take care of us but unfortunately my father has
to work so he is always busy. My sister is only 1 years old when my mother left us and from
that day my father became my mother and father. Sometimes that my classmates have their
parents with them during lunchbreaks eating together and then I will look on myself, I found
myself sitting alone and eating without someone to talk on to. Sometimes I can’t help myself
but to cry because I really miss my old life especially my mother. Months had passed and as
usual I did my very best in my studies, so I am one of the honor students.

After few years, my mother came back. And I was very happy on that day because final after
all those years in tears, finally I can meet my mom again. She congratulates me for my
achievements and I am very delighted to hear that. It feels like someone is proud on you. My
sister is also emotional when she met mom because she hasn’t saw mom for years and now
she can finally met mom. Mom and Dad agreed that my dad will stop working and she will be
the one who will support us. Few days later an unexpected event happened. My mom and dad
are having argument. Unfortunately, this was concluded: My mom left us again then she never
came back. It was a very emotional moment for us because we need to choose : to right where
nothing is left or to left where nothing is right. And I choose to be with my father because I can’t
left him alone because after all those years he is the one who undyingly cared for us, he is the
one who supported us whenever we had difficulties in life, the one who cared for us when we
are sick, the one who feeds us when we are hungry. And where is my mom? I’m not saying that
my mom did nothing but for me father is the one who really cares for us.
 Few years later, it was two years when my mom left us. And this is the year that I am on
grade six. And grade six is one pf the significant years of my elementary life because this is my
last year of being an elementary student. And another chapter of my life waits on me after I
finished this year. As usual I did my best on my studies but unfortunately, I was not the top1.
Because I was distracted on my studies due to my personal problems especially my family.
Some of this includes that I must take care of my sister because father is buys on finding job or
finding money so that we can continue to live, and we are eating 3 times a day. But there are
some times that I must absent on the class to help my father earn money. It became a hindrance
to me because due to my absences, I missed some important things and it degrades my
performance. But I didn’t let this happen anymore, I tried to save money so that father will never
need to work hard for us, I tried to study much harder, manage my time so that I can freely work
on school. Then after few months, I am finally the top 1 of the class. I managed to be on the
top even though there are many challenges in life. Few days later our teacher announced that
I will be the class valedictorian. I was very happy on that time because I achieve my dream: to
be on the top. Although this is only a beginning not an end, I will do my best and even better to
achieve my dreams. After that the graduation day has come. I stand in front of many people
including our teachers, the principal and especially my father. He was very proud for me . it was
an emotional moment for me because I remember the moments that I am having hard times,
but I managed to overcome it. The people were also emotional when they hear my speech.
After having my speech my father and sister stand on the stage and bond together celebrating
my success.
Moral lesson: No matter how dark the night is, the day will always come, and the sun will keep
shinning. Never let poverty and other problems become a hindrance towards your success.
