BEYOND PERFECTION…

A STORY OF MINE

At the fortress of San Roque, Legazpi City the most beautiful infant was born in the whole world. His mother couldn’t define if what kind of creature he is. Till one day his Dad decided to register him into registrar’s office of NSO. Then everyone knew about my existence and they joined us in my baptismal day.

A band welcomes us then that was my 1^st Birthday celebration. A phrase comes out from my mouth I said Time run so fast. My Mom thought that I’m genius ‘till I had reached kindergarten and she was so excited to attend my graduation rites then the only award I received was most behave. What a wryly thing had happened! Oh M…

Suddenly, a wink of the situation change, our happy yippee days inside our home became a sorrowful place were almost all of us were shedding tears because my Daddy had relinquished himself to the calls of heaven.

I grew with my Aunt’s place in Buhi, Camarines Sur because we became beggar like the late AJ Perez in MMK, till I had reached high school that time I really miss my mom and sisters. I felt like I’m a drama star like Mara of ABS-CBN I felt like I was abused then it was fortnight of June my mind was widely opened because I knew that my Tita from Switzerland gave my family in Legazpi Php.10,000.00 every month and it belies beyond. Then the moment I knew the secret a shadow seems to cover the whole place. I became detective Conan and an Imbestigador who looks for the truth.

Then one day, I was like a hostage, trying to escape from the haul. The rain seems to join me with my misery. But, I still remember that there is always a rainbow after the rain. I wanted to shout but I can’t, I wanted to run but I can’t. I was still hoping that someday someone can help me to be out from this darkness.

I said I need to be strong like a bamboo that swells with the wind and I found my freedom in my mother’s side.

I went back to Legazpi; subsequently I also entered a new environment with my new school, classmates’ teacher and everything. I graduated having four different schools I had entered.

I feel so bless by God because I am now graduating… I hope I can make it and thank God for giving me too much Strength, by the way I am Richard Erich S. Espinosa an AB journalism student until next time.

Every story has a lesson behind, maybe it would end but sometimes it makes a new beginning for a continuous storyline.
