Elementary Education

ELEMENTARY. My studies begun when i was 7 years old as Grade one and two at Pula Primary School (one bario town of Banaue province of Ifugao). I don't know the reason why my parents brought me to Hapao (another barrio town of Banaue) in my grandmother and grandfather's house. So there i stutied Grade Three (3) but because of War between Soldiers and NPA, my studies interrupted in the month of July. Therefore, my grandfather bring me back where i came from and for me to continue and finished Grade Three level i joined Grade IV as the continuation of my study in grade III level. At the following year, i continued my studies Grade IV and Five in Cambulo Elementary School. Since, Cambulo is too far from our respective barangay (45 minutes walking i would rather choose to go Barlig for me to continue and finish my Elementary level. One reason why i hate to study in Cambulo are the following: some of our classmates are naughty, some childrens thrown stone against us. Thus, in order for me to finish Grade Six and secondary level, I have to leave my parents and go to far or another place and that is Barlig (one municipality of Mountain Province). There i finished Grade Six at Barlig Central School. Here i first experienced being alone / got homesick but i have to manage my own life, solve my own problem in school like my assignments and homework (project). I have learned and adjust my personality by dealing with my classmates and other people around me. For me to survive, during week ends some of my classmate's cold me to go with them in thier field or kaingin for cleaning,rice planting and harvesting (80/day, some gave me bunch of rice as my salary which is good, for me not to go home anymore to get allowance because its too far (one day walking). It's useless for me to go home because at the following day i have to come back for my monday class.

WHO AM I

Of course, i am a person created by God with complete mind, body and everything to live in this beautiful world that he created for the people to live. My life begins when God gave me to my parents. I was born on December 19, 1979 at Banaue, Ifugao in the year of our Lord. This is the days where my mother gets suffered well just to deliver me in this wonderful world, they named it as Chona / Jona. My mother operated in her womb 3 days after she delivered me because still there is a problem - according to the doctor, bag of water still in her womb.

I am a peron who is hardworking, honest, caring and loving mom of my 2 kids namely: Argeyl Kayle and Argeline. Through my experience in different firm offices, i overcome my shyness, developed and improved my skills in handling difficult jobs and so here i am now working in my own business NESTAR INTERNET CAFE located at Room 248 2nd Floor CosPal Building, Mabini Street, Baguio City.

About my Ambition, when i was in high school level my only wish is to become a sister someday, if not ...certified office clerk (done but i resign due to what had happened) and to have stable job as stenographer for me to help and give happiness to my parents as well as my sisters and brothers. I really want them to be proud of me.But came the time that all my ambitions are ....... (it's a long story) .... It's really lust for me. I dont't know if it is my mistakes or its my "kapalaran" that's why i always ask God, "Why me Lord?". Anyway it's a big lesson to me and now it urges me to move on and little by little god gave me the right direction of my life. I am a person who is not easy to give up when problems...but to take it as a challenge and i never lost hope because i know that God is always there for me. I do believe that Prayer is so powerful.
