Graduated BS Chemistry

Sheina Natanauan and I started being friends way back in elementary. Shen, Yeng and I became inseparable until high school. She is the smartest and holds the highest dream amongst us. But just last year, she had her first born in the name of Sophia Marie, she became a young mom, and I heard at 21 she decided to raise the baby alone, a very brave single mother. After months of staying in their house in Labo, where she personally took care of her baby, she went back to Bicol University in Legazpi City to finish her school and earn her degree. Now, she is a full pledge graduate.

We always say, there so much to see in life after the struggle but few of us can really sway and stand after. I am sure, many of our classmates were inspired by her courage, love for education and discipline. Shen is a woman and a mother in her own right.

A proud father

Markson delos Angeles is the class clown. He is undefeatable in this area. When we were elementary, he was being labeled by our teachers as K.S.P. (short for kulang sa pansin). When we reached high school, everyone in the class wanted him around because he is like a saving medicine to a bad day, really!

After high school, he pursued his college in Manila. So I get to see him during reunions with other high school friends since I was also sent by my parents to study in Manila. Every meeting, he surprises me with new things about him. Lifestyle he has, type of friends, we all noticed that his school-boy-look before has gone, his porma changed a lot, he said he joined a fraternity. We didn't prevented him from doing so, to us it is his choice. I also became so open minded that I have learned to respect the changes in them. Really true, most of my found friends were that understanding, right Jaris?

The last shocking news he confided to us that is that he will soon become a father. He is very worried but look at the photographs below. His son looks so grown up.

Again, this testifies that life goes on... and there's no reason to give up. San-San now is in Bicol, pretty hard life according to him. But if we will just examine our days, its all the same. Time is passing and running, and still we are all alive!
