I was born in a small town named Rosario in Pasig City on August 31, 2001.1 I have one brother named Erwin John Cruz.2 My mother’s name is Jocelyn Cruz, she’s from Batangas City.3 My father is from Pasig City and his name is Emmanuel Cruz.4 I have fair skin and a color black hair and eyes.5 When I was young, I experienced playing in the streets with my friends.6 My mom has one condition everyday.7 I have to sleep first before I can play outside with my friends.8 It wasn’t challenging because my friends are still in school and they usually go home in the afternoon.9 In my circle of friends, I was the only one who was enrolled in an AM class.10 All of my friends are enrolled in PM class11 My mom told me that she wants me to get used to waking up early and being ready for school in the morning.12 My school's name is ESR.13 It is located in our barangay.14 My mom had a hard time sending me to school because when I was a kid, I was a hard-headed.15 I'm crying everytime we are entering our school.16 When I was a kid, I miss my mom a lot even though she is a way only for a minute, I don't want to be away from her.17 I've overcome that attitude when my mom told me that she won't send me to school ever if I didn't change.18 As time went by, when I go to school, my mom is waiting for me until the end of my class.19 I started to gained a lot of friends and that made me enjoy going to school.20
This is the stage where puberty occurs.1 I was grade 7 when I had my first period.2 I was so nervous back then, I had my period in school.3 I don't know what to do since my mom is not with me.4 Luckily, my teacher was very thoughtful.5 She helped and teach me on what I have to do.6 She even gave me a whole pack of new pads.7 She let me jump starting from the third step of the stairs.8 She also lets me eat ice cream to ease my mood.9 I really appreciate her.10 My mom was also thankful because of the attention she gave me.11 I was a member of a drum and lyre club when I was in highschool.12 I gained a lot of friends because I was very active in school.13 I love staying in school even though my class has already ended.14 I’ve experienced my teenage years very enjoyable.15 Eating outside after class, planning an outing with the class on a summer break, doing projects and assignments together in one house and after that is we will gather and eat pancit canton.16 This is also the time where my debut party has happened.17 My friends in Pasig and in Manila are all together and It was so fun.18 This is also the stage where I lost my father.19 3 months after my debut, he passed away.20 He had a heart attack while he was sleeping in our province in Batangas.21 It’s not easy but me and my family are all healing day by day.22
I was a late enrollee because of the pandemic.1 Before, I really don't like the online-school set up.2 Since I didn't enroll, I applied for a job as a Customer Service Representative.3 I was lucky because I am a work from home.4 Our company didn't allow us to travel just to go to work.5 All the equipments needed was delivered at our doorstep.6 I worked there for only six(6) months.7 I resigned after six months because suddenly I miss studying.8 I inquired in our university if I can take all subjects I missed in summer.9 Sadly, they didn't allow me.10 They said that only few of the subjects are open for summer, I can't take all.11 I was hopeless because I really want to continue my study and I don't want to be late.12 But I have no choice but to wait for one semester to end so I can finally enroll and continue.13 So, I enrolled in the year 2021.14 It was an online class setup.15 My mom was always telling me that I wasn’t really experiencing the true
college life because my first year in college was pandemic.16 At first, it was easy.17 But as time went by, I realized that I wasn’t really learning or adapting something from it.18 I hate going to school everyday but online class is really draining.19 I was in a online learning setup for a year and half.20 Finally, in my 2nd year (second sem), the face-to-face came back.21 It's a bit tiring because of the travel time but I am enjoying it.22
