Hazzel G. Salvador

October 15, 1988 when I, Hazzel G. Salvador, first breathed the earthly air of Gapan City, province of Nueva Ecija. Up to now, I am a resident of this city for 20 years now.
Being the eldest among the three children of Edgardo Salvador and Wenny Salvador, I established consistency with my resolutions and will stand for my decisions. My two younger sisters namely Lesley Salvador and Gladys Salvador are 18 and 11 years old now, respectively.
It was 1995 when I first stepped elementary at Mahipon Elementary School, Mahipon, Gapan City. I graduated there in 2001 with honors and awards in journalism.
I continued my studies as a high school student at San Roque High School, San Roque, Gapan City. I maintained my consistency in the honor roll during those times. I was the associate editor of our school publication, The Roquenians. I finished secondary education in 2005 with honors and journalism awards for winning different press conferences.
I bid goodbye to my high school days and welcomed another chapter of my life which I considered as a stepping stone towards the reality of life. I took the Central Luzon State University – College Admission Test, and I passed it. I studied at that university in 2005-2006 as a Common First Year (CFY) student under the Non-Science block. I had a plan to take a qualifying examination for AB Development Communications but it didn’t happen because I was about to transfer and start my second year in college at Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology.
And so after settling all the requirements, I transferred at NEUST in 2006. Recently, I am studying at the said university in my senior year, taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education, major in English. I am now a member of the College Honorific Society, and a staffer of our official publication, The Blaze.
Next year, I’ll be finishing my college and will have my degree. What I am hoping now is to pass all the subjects, to pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), to be able to pursue my frustration which is to take Development Communications and be a real and full journalist someday, and to get hired.
“Finding something important in life does not mean that you must give up everything else”, this quotation by Paolo Coelho inspires me to dream of another field of profession despite the fact that in just a little time from now, I will be a teacher.
