Introduction:

My name is Gloria Sabado, I was born on August 09th 1996 in the Port Moresby General Hospital. I come from a mix parentage, my parents Louisa Maikai Sabado from Siviri kerema and my Father Ernie Manaclang Sabado from Pangasinan Philippines. I have one sibling, my elder sister Nisa Sabado Buzetzky who is now happily married and has one daughter Myla Rose Buzetzky.

In my toddler years my family and I travelled most of the time, so we did not have a steady home. Life at that point to me was perfect, born into a family who were caring and loving and supportive was the best.

Having my sister being nine years older than me was difficult at the same time helpful. There was always times were I needed to talk to her but couldn’t because my sister was older than me, but she set an example every time, I learnt from all her mistakes.

My life has been a roller coaster ride. My family and I shared love, happiness, doubts, loss, and sadness.

Early years

In my early childhood we did not have much, my father worked as an architect with a small construction firm and my mother did not have any qualifications therefore she had to stay home and look after my sister and I.

Our first home was in Gerehu stage six and growing up in that area was not safe especially being mix raced. Every now and then when my father drives out of the house to go to drop my sister off at school and go to work he would regularly get hijacked by robbers and they would take all his belongings leaving him empty handed alongside my sister.

Due to that factor my dad sacrifice part of his savings to rent our family a suitable home that was safe and a good environment for us to grow up in.

When I turned three and a half years old the company that my dad had worked with fell into bankruptcy and was forced to leave the

    Of course, you are wondering what a child can do for a job, well we mowed 6-7 yards a day. Later as the age of 14, a week before Thanksgiving, my mother received a call informing her that my sister Elizabeth had stage 3 Thyroid cancer. Then my father had to disclose to his employer for insurance purposes and was terminated. At this point, we could not afford to buy food and had to go to the homeless shelter, yet were disquiet because we were not “poor” enough. When the month of December came around my sister had to go under the knife to have her thyroid removed. Her simple 3-hour operation turned into 9 1/2 and I remember praying that my sister would be alright, and she made it. Hours and hours went by, I waited, sitting in agony watching my 1 and 3-year-old little brothers at my grandparents home. The accumulation of the stress was too much for my grandparents to bear, which led to them leaving the house quite often and resulted in them forgetting to keep food in the house. I remember the feeling of despondence as I feed my little brothers, and them crying,”I’m hungry” because I didn’t have anything to feed them. When I finally had the chance to see my sister, I refused. I didn’t want to be there and see her in pain. When I finally arrived at the hospital, I sat in the ICU waiting room and I heard the bad news being broken to another family, that their child had just flat lined. I was terrified as I walked down the hallway and as my eyes gazed on Elizabeth, with tears filled in them. Something in the operation went wrong , she layed there mourning because she might become a mute. That was last time I visited Elizabeth in the hospital, as I had to be strong for my family. I had to persevere in order to be the caretaker of my brothers for an additional two months. As the years went on, things started to improve, I joined an NJROTC group and…

    Moving away from home and being in college, I look back on my years at home with a little bit of sadness and tad bit of regret. I realize that I took my father for granted.

When I would complain about not having the latest outfit, I never once heard him complain about…

    From the beginning of my parents' divorce, I never thought much about how much my mother worked to provide for our family after my father had left. Often I would take it for granted how great my parents drive was to work and provide for us.
