My Autobiography
Our life is the greatest gift God had ever given. In order to reap, one must sow seed and that seed represents life of human beings. When the seed comes out of its shell, it must be nurtured with different elements of nature like sun ,water ,and air which represents tender ,love and care in human’s life cycle. Nature and humans are interrelated to each other that’s why I make my comparison. Why can I say so? Well ,I’ll tell you…One September, amidst of cold breeze and starry night, there is a woman walking back and forth while her heart beats so fast. It’s a mixed emotions of excitement and fear because any moment, her water bag will pop. Suddenly, she felt the cramps, harder and harder, her womb becomes swollen every thirty minutes, her back is aching. She started to feel uneasy and uncomfortable until it gets deeper,the pain scattered throughout her body so she hurriedly call her husband to attend her and give him instructions on what to do. Her husband called the attending midwife and he prepared the necessary materials. Hot water ,basin ,disinfectants ,clothes ,everything. His hands are trembling and he can’t stay in one place so he decided to go outside for awhile to relieve the tension. Thirty minutes later, the attendant asks for an assistance followed by a yelling sound. It was like a music to their ears as they heard the cry which only proves that the newly-born had healthy lungs. It was me then named Maria Lourdes Domingo, born under the zodiac sign of Libra. According to the Chinese calendar, I’m under the year of the rooster with a gem of sapphire accompanied by the elements of wind and fire. What’s the big deal anyway? Well ,it’s just a matter of details. My parents are Mr. Pedro Domingo and Mrs.Solita Lazo. I was the second to the eldest among four girls in our family .They named me after the saints in Baguio .According to my mother,she even wanted me to portray some traits of a saint but it all falls to disappointments. I was once called a black sheep in the family but during my early childhood days ,I am their special one. I am a consistent honor student so my parents are very happy and proud so they establish standards for me to achieve in my studies .They are the one who decide what to choose in terms of clothes ,things and even friends ,that’s why I get rebellious .I was aggravated by their acts so when the time comes that I need to separate from them for my studies,I felt freedom. I finish my elementary in Dolores,Elementary School with lots of medals . I moved in Cabanatuan for high school. I done everything my own way. I started to feel the life outside which I never felt and experience before.The gimmick’s,clothes of my choice, peers, everything I don’t have before, I can have now because I’m free. I didn’t notice that I’m already drowning into that so-called “FREEDOM” because I tied up so early with someone in an unexpected time while my studies is ongoing so my borrowed time of pleasure ended the hard way. It causes deep pain and disappointments on my parents’ side. I felt sorry for myself because of being self-centered and rebellious. If I could only turn back the time, I would probably do things the right way and finish my study first but of course, it will never happen the same way again. I should be thankful because I already have my own family and I’m happy with them at my side all the times and I was given a chance to continue my studies in order to fulfill my dreams. What else could I ask for? Everything I have now complete me as a person. That’s why I do believe that “When we lose something, we lose it for a reason, that reason might be hard to understand but whatever it is, we just have to believe that God taken away when He has something better to give”.
