Who I am in life.
My name is Kenneth Barnuevo. I started
school when
I was six-years-old. I went to kindergarten through fifth grade at
Bitoon Elementary School and while I was there, I won an award for
perfect
attendance. I also won an award for honor roll all four terms. Then I
attended Bitoon Elementary School, and there I also won a couple of
awards:
one for perfect attendance and two for being named Student of the
Year--one in sixth grade and the other in eighth grade. I am now a
senior at Cuartero National High School. I plan on finishing school and
maybe
going to a community college.
What life means
to me.
Life to me means
friends and family who you
can trust and who trusts you. I am pretty much on the happy side of
life, but like all teens I do I have my "days of." That means I do have
some sad days or depressed days. I have a few friends here that sort of
look out for me and when I am having a bad day, I have someone here at
school to talk to. I make my school days go by thinking of either the
next hour or what I will do when I get home or on the weekend. I'm not
seeing anyone now but when I did have a Girlfriend, our favorite places
to go were the movies and out to dinner. Sometimes we went to the
beach. Only once we went to an amusement park: Gaisano Boulevard. We
were together for twenty-nine days and then we broke-up; so no, I don't
think it was forever.
What's my
outlook on the future.
The year 2025 will
make twenty five years since I
graduated from college. I think I will probably be still living
here in Roxas City. I will be quite comfortable with my living situation,
meaning that I will be married to Minchie Hayco. We will have one child:
Linda Treasa Barnuevo, who at that point will be three-years-old and a
little devil. Minchie is a sweet girl; she will do anything for anyone. she
is six feet tall and built well. she has baby eyes and blond hair.
We will have been together for ten years and will be happy
together--this is forever.
Conclusion
As I said in the
beginning, I was born here in Capiz and I've lived here my whole life. I would like to see more of
the Philippines but unfortunately, I don't have any money to leave Capiz to go
anywhere right now. I hope you have enjoyed reading my life story as
much as I have enjoyed writing it for you. Try to get as much as you
can out of school; you're only there for twelve years and when you
graduate, you're home free. Here's a tip for you to live or try to live
by: If you think it, it can be done.
My
Family Background.
My mother and my father are the complete opposite of each other culturally. Lilibeth, my mother, had lived in Cuartero all her life, her two brothers and her father were in the panay. She grew up with the panay customs and had spent only a couple of summers in Roxas City. However, she spoke ilonggo. On the other hand, my father had lived in cuartero all his life and his brother and his father were in the manila. He spoke no tagalog and was raised in a very typical cuarteronhon family. Therefore, I guess I'm sort of stuck between both cultures. You might be asking yourself how the two of them ever ended up together even though they are so different. Well, both of them are architects and they met while my mother was in curtero.
