Featured starting with this story are Personal Histories written by my students - with their permission, of course. All featured stories are un-edited and as is, as I promised them.
I know many Social Scientists will get something out of these. So let's get started.
June 22, 2011
I am Emmanuel Montecillo Macias, 21 years of age, born at Ormoc City on January 01, 1990. I am an illegitimate child of Verna Montecillo Macias, my mother was the second child of Genaro Funda Macias and Virginia Lacerna Montecillo. Both a native of Ormoc City. I grew up under the care of my grandmother because my mother left for Manila. I am bonafide resident of Brgy. Sta. Cruz, Isabel, Leyte.
I finish my elementary education at Relocation Site Community School of Isabel, Leyte and my secondary education at Isabel National High School also of Isabel, Leyte. Unfortunately after I graduated from high school, I wasn't able to pursue my studies in college because of financial difficulties. Although it has been my biggest dream to go to college and become an engineer someday, I'm left with no choice but to accept it, my grandmother can't afford to send me to college.
During wherein i was out of school, I tried my luck in job hunting in Manila. But since I have only my high school diploma and no job experience, I really find it hard to land into a better job. I only end up working in construction as an ordinary laborer under contract. Upon the expiration of my contract, I again tried searching this time in Davao. But then again I failed, so I decided to go back home to my grandmother in Isabel, Leyte.
Now I am enrolled at Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) of Ormoc City Campus with the course of Electrical Engineering. I've made a promise to myself, with the opportunity that my grandmother gave me this time, I'll do the best I can in order to reach the goal of success in the field I've chosen.
