"Mother's womb" a place where my life is waiting to be unravelled,waiting to be

experienced and waiting to be discovered. My life begin and end in two different universes, I
started in a universe that only belonged to me, a place that was mine and only mine alone. I
broke out of my shell and blossomed. I flourished until I could flourish no more. I began a life
that I didn't understand. I was in my universe until the time has come for me to say goodbye to
the one thing my mother and I have shared. I came into this place on January 14, 2000 without
any knowledge. I came into this universe as a stranger until someone very special in my life
named me Jasser Rey, someone who kept on calling me with that beautiful name and that
someone is the person behind my handsomeness. As the time flies rapidly, I started to crawl,
walk, jump, talk and I'm getting curious in many things. So many questions running in my mind
that need to be answer immediately, I'm being observant on small things even though I can't
understand easily on what is going on. Years passed by, my parents sent me to school, It was my
first day in kindergarten, I didn't understand very well why I had to come to this place away from
home where my mother and father never left me alone. They left me with a lady I had never seen
before in my existence so I got worried and about to cry because I don't know what am I going to
do, that my parents just leave me with a stranger. After a minute, the lady said “it I’ll be okay,
your mom will come back and get you in a few hours" with a smile plastered on her face. Do I
have any other choice? So I just listen to her and introduced me to my classmates. I joined them
and I found out that being in that place was not so bad after all. Our teacher started to show us
the letters of alphabet, and I wondered why we needed so many letters. She told us that in
English, we read and write from left to right. I found this very weird because I had been taught to
read Urdu and Arabic from right to left, but this kind of curiosity of mine was taught me to
understand so much thing and lead me to learnings. From time to time, my abilities and skills are
slowly improving. I've learned how to write my full name, I've learned how to identify Colours
and Numbers, and I can even draw lines and shapes. Then it becomes my hobby because I found
so much fun with it and of course just like what any kids do, I'm also playing filipino games such
as tumbang preso, luksong tinik, patintero and so much more with priceless smile plastered on
my face. My childhood days was one of the greatest thing it could happened to someone like me.
In my grade school days, I think reading is the biggest challenge for me but I'm glad that
I'm over with it. When I have my vacant time, I was kept on practicing my skill in reading which
made me enjoy a little more and beside my mom will get mad at me if I will do nothing. In those
days I always wanted eagerly to learn as a dog prowls about in search of food. My teachers
taught me not only the three R's but also the way to observe the world surrounds us. They laid
more stress on observation than on memorization. Thus, we had much time to talk over and trade
our learning experiences. Though I can say that I'm not an ideal student, I was carefree and
throughout the years I lived happily without seriously minding my studies. I even encourage my
friends to cut classes too but then I was caught out and severely punished. Often in preparing for
a test we, pupils would work together to devise ways of cheating in the classroom. Though I was
poor at cheating in any test, I never gave up but would again and again hoping this way I would
get high mark. With the passage of time I have gradually cast off those bad habits I once had

Always feel embarrassed each time I think of my foolish behaviour in the past, I owe what I am
to all of my teacher’s conscientious instruction. Had it not been for them, I would not be a useful
member of society as I am today. My grade school days not added to my experiences as a boy
But give me now something lasting to remember by. How I wish the past could come back, for in
retrospect they were so wonderful.

Childhood is often regarded as a memorable and beautiful period of one's life and I
passed it happily as a grade school student. My grade school days were really carefree ones. I got
along well with my classmates and on holidays or weekends, we strolled along the street visited
the park and shared ones another candies, just like any typical elementary student's craziness, I
did the same things too. I salute all of my teachers who took pains to teach us how to behave and
often accompanied us to play games after class. Games which were enlivened by songs prattle
and laughter’s. Years passed by and I'm about to leave my elementary days, I have these mix
emotions I'm both happy and sad. I'm happy because finally I'll be moving into the next chapter
of my life yet sad because I'm going to miss my life as an elementary student as well as my
friends and the memories we have shared together. A memory that will never be forgotten and
forever be cherished.
And so the time has come for me to open a new chapter, to begin a new journey and to face a
new day as a high school student. I never really thought about where my life was going, I was
just always believed that life will took me where I wanted to go. Once I entered high school, I
changed the way I thought. We get good learning experience, the self-confidence, motivation and
the will to do the best. It is the school life that blesses with best ever friends for the rest of our
lives. The school life that helped you to developed and bring out the best in you. There are so
much thing I could have in my entire life, many opportunities and self-development and
discovered where my abilities are suited in. High school days are very much filled with both
excitement and challenges. Challenges that molds me to be a better one, it is not easy but i don't
have any other choice but to fight and stand up. This is the period when I started working hard.
High school is a place for me where young teens learned to become matured and responsible. It
is a place where students get trained to take on bigger challenges in life.
When I think about my high school experiences, there are many things that come to my
mind. Some of them are good memories, bad memories, mistakes, lessons, happiness,
heartbreak, misfortune, joy, drama and most importantly is fun of course. High school to me
seemed like it passed by really fast, almost too fast sometimes. I learned many valuable life
lessons as well as made lifelong friends. I learned the value of hard work, dedication and also
how to know your real friends from others. It was tough but overall a great experience that I'm
going to miss with.
 Most of the good memories involved my friends and most of the bad memories involved
just me. Some examples of good memories in high school is just like going to the different sports
game, different Activities and contests. The sounds, the atmosphere and the company of your
friends is what makes the events so fun and exciting. Good memories for me in general includes
the basic seeing people in halls during passing period especially when I saw my special someone,
doing class projects, attending assemblies and so much more. Some of the bad memories of mine
includes depression and anxiety but thanks God I conquer it with determination and courage.
Then there's this someone walked into my life, she made my days and nights more
colourful until now. We stand together and learned from each other’s mistakes and so on, we
remained stronger and stronger. I would say that one of the biggest life lessons I have learned
from my high school relationship is that you should always be yourself. People respect and enjoy
the person you really are inside, and if they don't, they are not really your friends. I am leaving
high school with so much words of wisdom, if high school has taught me anything it is that you
should always have confidence in yourself. If you believe in yourself and you believe you can
achieve anything you want in life, good things will happen to you. Being six years in high school
has been an overall life changing experience that I will never forget. “College life is waving"
yes! I am now a college student.
Being a college student is not easy of course, the pressure and tension are always there
but I believe that college will give me the keys and opportunities to unlock the door to success.
At first I really don’t know which course is suited for me it feels like a magic when I woke up
one morning being a BEED student. I know that I have many more years to get through but
going to school has been one of my biggest priorities and the most routine part of my existence.
College life is very different from my earlier years I especially remember how easier it was back
then and how much harder it is becoming now as I get older. School place where I developed my
learning’s. It is the first chapter of the book of life. It is a sources of knowledge and skill which
facilitates brain development and also helps me to know myself better and made me into the
person I am today and so on.
