    Who Am I?
    Was born at the early hours of the 24Th day of October 1994 at my hometown in Lagawe, Ifugao. My parents are Mr. Hubert Kimayong and Mrs. Jovita Kimayong. When I was born, my father mistook me for a boy because of my dark complexion. My siblings teased me endlessly about that after my father told that story. I was given a rather peculiar name which is a name of one of the states in America, Nevada. All of us sibling were named after names of places. My elder sister was named Miami, the ones after are Athens, Aspen, and Venice. My parents said they wanted unique names for us. I guess that was because my mother had some acquaintances which have the same name as hers. But I still think its an overreaction. I never liked my name. I think its weird and mismatched for me. And most of the times I get comments from others about my name and some would even make fun of it. I would want to change it someday but I fear that would be disrespectful to my parents judgments. y physical features are unremarkable and nondescript. I am short in stature and I have brown complexion. My hair is dark and thick. My eyes are colored black. I have a mole on my upper lip. I was never a winner when it comes to looks but I can say thats fine because I have the gift of some intellect which I got from my Mom. Shes an intelligent woman

    and I look up to her. The thing I got from my dad id-s my pride and indifference. grew up in a sort of isolated place. Our house is situated in a place where there are no other houses near us. The only neighbor we have is a hundred meters away from our house and they are an old couple. I never had playmates when I was a kid except for my siblings. I guess that accounts for my being a shy girl and an introvert even up to now. hen I was four years old, my parents tried to enroll me in kindergarten. But because of lack of prior exposure to other children, I was hard up making friends and so I quit after a month. The next year, my parents really insisted I go to school despite my protests and tantrums. It turned out fine. Actually, I was on the honor list of my kindergarten class. I was number three and I still treasure that achievement. When I was in elementary, I entered the elementary school in my barangay. The population of our school is very few so every classmate of mine is a friend also. There were only 13 of us who graduated. I was on the top of my class. High school is a whole different experience. The population is a lot larger. I gained more friends but still tried to keep my old ones. I graduated and I was on the honor list which is number four. There are many beautiful experiences in high

    school but they are also coupled with sad ones. I will always look back at my high school days with a smile but also with a grimace. ow that Im in college, I must take life more seriously. I must have objectives and goals for myself. I have a lot of dreams; ambiguous dreams, almost impossible dreams. But let us stick to the practical ones first. Before anything else, I have to finish my course first. Then Im going to try really hard to past the board exam on the first shot. When I do, Im going to try teaching first. I want to give it a try because I want to understand this profession since this is my moms work. But Im not going to stay a teacher forever. I also want to try working with the government. Then Im really going to enter the work which is meant for my finished course. I will apply in an accounting firm. It has always been a dream of mine to travel the world. The way I see it, I can achieve that only in line with my profession. So I am going to apply for a job abroad. Maybe Im just like all the others who choose to go out of the country to find job instead of serving dear motherland but I dont care. Wherever the grass is greener thats where Im going. Im not really an unpatriotic ingrate but I have dreams for me and my family and I will do everything to achieve them.
