The Person Who Inspires Me
Do I Still Have Any Reason to Live?
By: darol_maranan_07
Name? Girolene Garcia. Everyone calls me Gigi. Not only because it’s my first name, but also becuse it’s what my initials spell out. 16 years of age. I guess it will end in that number. I’m about to die anyway... I shall cut myself with this razor, or maybe yet jump from the top of this establishment!
Do I still have any reason to live? Everyone sees me as worthless woman of this world. They say I have never done anythind good. Depressing, isn’t it? Why should I carry this heavy burden all throughout my entire life? Living in this world is like being subjected to eternal damnation. You want to know why it turned out like this?... By looking at your baffled expressions, I can see that you desire to know about my decision in termination this life of mine.
Well, Sir and Madam... please listen carefully to the story of my life.
People brand me as a juvenile delinquent. I am merely a teenager. Young in both mind and body. Vulnerable to mistakes and immaturity. In my current state, I am carefree. I swim in the pool of pleasure. I rarely go to school. You could easily spot me at the nearby street at Pauntum. Smoking, singing in the videoke machine or just looking at the cute guyspassing by.
Parents? Hmmm. They exist? I don’t even know that thry’re there. There was this time when I asked Mom about my science assignment.

She answered “(God) Damn it! Can’t you see I’m busy preparing for my Tong-its?!”

Yes, she was always busy with Mahjong,Tong-its. Those kinds of games... I asked Dad the same question.

He answered “ngrrrhhh Here’s ahundred bucks. Go ask your neighbor or your hot teacher ngrrrhhh!”

Father was drinking with the neighbors, as usual.
I never had the best grades in school... Still I’m in Grade 5. I never really excelled in any part. One time, I was asked by my teacher to answer a math problem.

“Ms. Garcia! Answer this: 90 divided by 10?.” My teacher told me.

I couldn’t answer. I

    I was failing eighth-grade math. My last two test scores were devastating and were helping to ruin my math grade. The tests were difficult, but definitely passable. Most times I would think that I knew the material, only to miss half of the questions on the big test. I was also skipping homework assignments. I didn't know the answers, and I wouldn't even try to learn. Even when I studied for hours, I would still fail the work and have the terrible feeling of truly being lost on how to recover. Although grade was downright horrible, and it was going to drop even more, I soon found an unlikely candidate that would turn my school life around.…

    “Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.” Ludwig Van Beethoven is one of the most famous and influential composers of all time. His works have been admired for over a century, and still affects many modern composers of our time, such as Scott Joplin, another infamous composer. In the beginning of his career, Beethoven was criticized for his unconventional work and his abnormal temper. However, he kept with his passion of creating music and ultimately reached his goal. I greatly admire Ludwig Van Beethoven because of his courage for making unique, different music that wasn’t the “style,” and more importantly, his perseverance as a composer that helped him greatly through times of darkness.…

    I feel that the world inspires me because anything negative encourages me to be positive. When I see people doing good as young adults it motivates me to be better and to focus on what’s important my life. I have family members like my mother, father etc that inspires me because everyone feel as if I’m not capable to do anything with my life or myself. After being around that negative energy it makes me feel as if they are telling the truth. I want to prove myself wrong and not believe in what they’re saying because it’s always thrown at me when I’m round them. For my parents, I want them to be proud of me for becoming my dream. I want to show them that raising me wasn’t a waste of time or energy. I admire people who are in college because I as a little girl I wanted to experience the life style being in college.
