CHILDHOOD I'd like to share my experience during my chilhood days. I am the 3rd child among four siblings, we are raised from poor family. My mother was the bread winner of a family, working as a dressmaker in our home. I can describe our situation as " isang kahig maraming tuka". We are lack in so many things, we do not have electricity, appliances etc. At night we use lamp with petroleum. For cooking we use wood, we do not own source of water so we need to fetch from our neighborhood. As a child watching television from your neighborhood from their window or doors, standing position, one thing that will make you sad is that there are times that while you are watching they will shut the doors and window and that hurts a lot. I still remember it, and i still feel the hurt during that time. I am a very proud daugther of my parents specially my mom, because eventhough we are raised from a poor family they succeeded in raising us. They struggle so hard, they send us to school until college from their only source of income being a dressmaker. When i was in high school and college, my sister and I always helped our mother to finish the dress, uniforms and other she is sewing. We do the eyelets and put botton, lilip stitch/tahing kamay on the finished products. We also do the home chores like cooking, washing clothes and cleaning the house. I am very happy and contented with my childhood That experience was a very big help for who i am today, eventhough i gives me a good foundation and experience i would never wished that it will happen again the my child. That is why right now I am working so hard, so that she will never experienced the bad situation that we i suffered from my childhood. In comaparison to the generation today i can say that my generation was still the best, 90's. Every parents never wished to experience what they suffer from their childhood and i agree with it. I am doing my best to give comfort to my child, provide her need and preparing for her future.
