What is your passion (what is it that you love doing)? How is it reflected in your work, daily life, and life's journey?
I started my life being exposed to helping less fortunate people. My parents have been very active in providing help to anyone in need. Even up to now; my mother even at her 80's still have its way of helping. It is probably the reason why I am always in a situation where I need to help somebody.
When I was 10 years old I already experienced rescuing our relatives from the flood caused by typhoon way back in the 80's. The sounds of the raging brown water still lingers in my mind up to this time. My brothers carry the belongings of our cousins to safety while I hold the hands of our Aunt to make sure that she will not slip in the creek and get washed away by the water. We fought our fears at the moment just to save the lives and some properties of our relatives.
In my 1st year in high school; I'm on my way to school. A well-dressed Chinese-Filipino guy (his accent is more Chinese) approached me and ask me if I have money because somebody stole his wallet and he has no money going back to Capas, Tarlac. Without any hesitation; I gave him my 3 days allowance. When I went home I told my mother about the incident and she just smile without saying anything and walked away. The next day she gave me the same amount that I gave to the Chinese-Filipino guy. At least she really believed in my story.
