A Part of Me

It wasn't just a single experience. That made me the person I am today. But a product of countless experience and moments good or bad that made me and my views in life. Where each one has a unique way in developing my personality.

One of the early experience that contributed me of my views is in the summer of 2006. One night my mother received a call coming from a local law enforcer. Saying that a group of armed men entered our barangay. He instructed my mother to turn off the lights and shut the doors. After a few minutes as we finished what we instructed to do. A series of gunfire erupts in the distance. We were all terrified while hiding under the bed. my Grandma was praying nonstop. While I was also crying constantly  holding my mother hand. I was beginning to hyper hyperventilate.Then my mother look at me in the face. She was also crying,I can see the fear in her face. Suddenly she hug me tightly as if she's was going to be my armor. The next thing I realized it was already morning. I had fallen asleep while crying. And the whole thing was already over.

 That night taught me many things that I will  later  realize. That there are things that is out of our control. Where what we can only do is sit and wait. For someone like you who is also weak, scared, and fragile yet draw each other's strength. And that someone is my family. I believe that family is important in facing problem that you can't handle alone. Where I draw strength when I have none and they always be a part of me.
