How would you like to be remembered when you die?

When that day comes I want everyone to remember me as the person I’ve shown them, the real
me which includes the times wherein they had seen me at my worst not to make them sad but to
indicate that they have been a good friend to me for staying by my side when things got their way and
for not leaving me behind. To make them happy thinking that they’ve been a good friend and I will
forever be grateful because they became a part of my life. I want that whenever they would think of me
a smile would be plastered on their faces, I don’t want them to dwell on sadness but rather to
remember the times I’ve spent together with them: the happy memories.

If you would be given another life, what would you want to change in your former life? Why?

If I would be given the chance to change my former life my answer would be none. Changing my
current life wouldn’t make any sense for me, I prefer to change nothing as this defines who am I today.
Even though there are times I wish to have a different life because of my situation, this struggle doesn’t
have the authority to control me but rather I control them. I don’t want to change my life even if its hard
because this is what God had given me and I’m grateful for it, I know there is a reason for all of this and
this is a challenge given to me and I accept it because I know that I can make it with the help of God.

Relate the gravest act of disobedience to your parents?

It was my birthday that day and instead of celebrating with my family I chose to be with my
friends, even though they did everything to make me stay I didn’t listen to them. My friends and I went
to a mall and there we spent the money my auntie gave for the celebration of my birthday.

How did you feel after you realized that you had disobeyed your parents?

I felt so ashamed of myself because my family was waiting for how many months for that day to
come as this only happens once in a year and they want to be with me to celebrate it yet I chose other
people over my own family even though they just want to spend a family time and make my birthday a
happy memory. I ruined everything they’ve planned that day and It breaks my heart knowing that they
were asking for me to stay but I neglect them and I regret it so much. My friends didn’t even thank me
or greeted me but my family did and I realized that family should come first more than anything.

How did your parents take it?

At first my parents were fumingly mad because they prepared everything for my birthday but
without them knowing I already have planned where to celebrate it. They persuade for me to stay but
still I insisted to go with my friends then later on when they realized that I wouldn’t change my mind
they decided to let me treat my friends.

What do you think was the consequence of your disobedience?

The consequence of my disobedience is that I can no longer take back the time to undo it even
though I wished for it to turn out as my parents had planned for my birthday. I couldn’t do anything
about it, I missed the chance to make a quality time for my family, and to make a happy memory with
them.
