MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Have you ever wondered what life is like for someone like me? Hi, My name is Regile
Mae M. To-ong and I was born on October 02, 2001, at Maslog Tabogon, Cebu. I am a
product of province life, I was born and raised there with my parents. Life there was so
simple, away from pollution and away from new techs, however, life is still difficult for us to
survive on day to day basis. I am the 5th of 6 siblings, my father was a fisherman and my
mother took care of us. Every one of us worked together to have food and to buy rice grains.
During the nighttime, my father tried his luck to catch fish for food, and I together with my
older siblings will sell it to neighbors for us to buy rice and our daily school allowance. I and
my siblings will also try our luck on weekends and holidays early dawn to catch and sell fish.
This has been our routine for so many years. I must say that I would never be ashamed of
having this kind of life but instead grateful for it because it does not only build me as a better
person now but thinking that I was blessed enough to have the people around me that loved
and cared for me. In addition, it’s not easy for us to make money for our everyday needs but
we are very happy way back there as we have each other through thick and thin.
Furthermore, we also experienced being nothing and struggle due to financial problems but
we remain steadfast and facing all those arduous situations with a positive outlook. All of the
hardships that I encountered way back then, mold me to be the firm and wise woman I am
now.

I had graduated my elementary in the province and finish my junior high school at
the Talisay City National High School being a consistent honor student. I currently lived in
Dumlog, Talisay City, Cebu with my widowed Aunt. My Aunt helps me in my senior high
school by paying half of my tuition fee while the other half was from my voucher which the
government provides for those junior high school students particularly me who are coming
from public school. My Aunt told my parents to stay in her house since she'd looking for
someone who would be her sidekick in her house after her husband left her. By staying with
my aunt, I help and assist her with all the household chores and anything that she will need
me to do. I endured so many obstacles and downs during my senior high school and
sometimes feel depressed it's because I can't balance my time properly between my
responsibilities at my aunt's house and school works. I also do a part-time job at that time
and it wouldn't easy for me to manage everything. But thinking with my family would help me
boost my strength and keeps me going. Since I am far away from my family, my Aunt stays
by my side and stands as my second family. She encouraged me to move forward and
continue learning. She was the reason also why I experienced being part of the prestigious
university here in Cebu for just a little while. Luckily, I had graduated from my senior high
school at the University of San Jose - Recoletos with the determination I have and the
guidance of my Aunt. My senior high was so exhausted yet unforgettable journey, and a lot
of learnings, and fond memories that I cherish forever.

I have been very motivated to create the best possible future for myself. I was
planned to take my bachelor's degree in any state university here in Cebu considering its
free tuition because I don't want to be dependent on someone and I know my parents can't
afford my studies in any private school. Fortunately, I was able to pass the entrance exam at
the Cebu Technological University which I'm taking up a Bachelor of Elementary Education.
This course was not my first choice to take as It's not been my dream job ever since
because I don't have the patience and I've witnessed it with all my teachers way back when I
was in elementary how hard it is to be a teacher. But it always lingers on my head that I
should be a teacher maybe it's a calling from God or maybe most people around me had a
big impact on me especially my Aunt since she was a teacer before and also wanted me to
be like her someday. It takes me a month to ponder what must I choose if I should get a law
course for this is my interest or education as what my mind thinks of and it's a practical job.
Fortuitously, to become a teacher is my final decision. I know I will never regret this decision
since I like to share my knowledge and to be able to make a positive difference in the future
of children. I like to challenge myself also facing one of my weaknesses and learn from it.
Soon if I’ll achieved my degree, I gonna pursue my passion and interest which is to be a
lawyer.

I was hoping to have a stable job soonest so I can help my parents and those people
who helped me throughout my journey. In order to achieve that goal, I need to finish first in
college. With that said, I badly need assistance as I don’t want to rely on my parents and my
Aunt. I was hoping that I would be qualified for those scholarships that I applied for so I can
be able to pay my miscellaneous and my expenses in other school stuff. After college, I
planned to teach in any private school here in Cebu first then go to abroad. Hoping to find
happiness and be successful in my future endeavors. Fighting and move forward self! You
can do it!.
