Childhood Experience

I can’t say that my childhood experience was so happy, wanna know why? Because some terrible incident happened in my childhood life. I was born on January 29, 1999, it was the feast day of St. Francis de Sales but later changed every January 24. It was the start of my childhood life and my childhood experience. I was the only son of Ervin and Jesusa Calapan, I was raised in a simple life, my father was a jeepney driver before and my mother is a plain housewife. As I’ve said earlier my parents raised me in a simple life yet full of love but sometimes like other children I want those kind of toys/stuffs that my parents can’t provide . Sometimes I felt uncontented from what I have but what can I do ? I just accepted that I should be contented and be thankful on what I have. As my childhood life goes on another terrible incident happened. My mom got pregnant, and I was so happy to hear that finally I will become a “kuya” now. I was so excited that time especially when the doctor says that it is a baby girl. November 18, 2005 a baby girl named Francis Joy was born, me, my cousin and my family was so excited but unfortunately our baby girl was sick because she was suffering from a severe illness that needs an operation urgently. She undergoes the 1st operation and she survived but 10 days after she died I feel so sad that time and I miss my baby sister so much. After that incident my father decided to work abroad and he told me that he needs to do that so he can give me and my mother a good life so he can provide whatever we need. At first I was lonely, I miss my father and I miss our bonding. 2 years after when I was in grade 4 my father went home I was so happy and I thought that he would never come back in abroad but I was wrong he told me that my mother will go with him and I will be sent to my aunties. See, at my very young age, my parents had sacrifice, just to

    Greg Critser lives in Pasadena, California, and writes regularly for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times on issues of nutrition, health, and medicine. An authority on the subject of food politics, Critser has been interviewed by PBS and other media, and his writ­ing on obesity earned him a James Beard nomination for best feature writing in 1999. Embarrassed by a passing motorist who shouted "Watch it, fatso," Critser went on a diet and lost forty pounds. In the process he discovered that in America, weight is a class issue—fat and poor often go together. In exposing the heavy truths about American obesity, Critser gives our bloated nation a wake-up call. His books include Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World (2003) and Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs Are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (2005).…

    When this bad experience of my life happened, I was about ten. I went to my native place which is called Madurai to spend my summer vacation. The way to the city was too long, but it was very amazing to listen birds’ songs, to notice sunrise behind mountains, to watch awakening of nature and the lifestyle of hardworking people in the field. When I reached there, my grandparents became very happy to see me. The next day, my grandparents were going to work in the field. I wanted to go there with them. They saw my eagerness and did not protest. We went to the field and I helped to pick peppers. I had to cut peppers, and had to clean their seeds. First, it looked very easy. I worked carefully. However, I rubbed my eyes with my hands. Suddenly, I felt fire on my eyes. I began to cry. It was burning and very terrible. I could not open my eyes and did not see anything. While I was running in pain, I fell down and got hurt in my head. This was second bad time at that day which I came across. Immediately, my grandparents ran towards me. They understood what happened. They were very concerned. My grandfather got lap and brought me home as quickly as possible. First, my grandmother washed my face and then put ice onto my head. Eventually, I felt relaxed , I did not feel any pain. I thanked my grandparents, especially to my grandmother. Now I am fourteen, I still remember this event now also. This event is an unforgettable part of my…

    When I heard my mother called me again for the meal time, I decided to go out from my bedroom. While we were having our breakfast, my mother noticed that something was bothering me. When she asked me about it, at first I was ashamed to tell my family the truth but my fear and anxiety of the fourth coming event in our school deceived me. I found myself relating to my family my agony every time I talked in front of people. I knew they were surprise but their love, concern, and desire to help me in my dilemma mirrored in their eyes. I cannot bring myself to look at them because I felt terrible that at my stage I still have the said challenge. However, when my father started to share his experience of the same struggle I momentarily forgot my dilemma. My attention was glued to the person where fear and anxiety I cannot connect to his person. We knew him as a strong person, a man of so much confidence. We viewed him as a person who is always sure of the things that he says and does. He can really make things work according to how he planned it. He has an aura devoid of any fear, worry or anxiety. Thus, when he started to give me insights on how he dealt with his fear and anxiety, I really listened intensely. Among the many things that he shared…
