“My Autobiography”
 Activity Title: My Autobiography

I was born on January 16, 1997 in Quezon City. In a family, we are five which

consists of my parents who are both Lawyers and my two brothers. I, as the eldest and

Bryan, who is my younger brother, are now in college. The youngest of us all is Mark who

is only 10 years old and is still at Claret School of Quezon City studying at Grade 5. I am

currently studying in San Beda College and Bryan is currently studying at the University

of Santo Tomas. In the early ages of my life, my parents could not afford a house in which

they managed to rent which could higher than expected than buying a house through

installment. Therefore they decided to buy a house and lot near the subdivision of

Tandang Sora which is located at Quezon City. Having been able to be raised by lawyers

has changed our lives both mentally and emotionally because, as sons of our parents,

we are expected to achieve greater than what they have achieved in their life.

One of my important achievements in high school is that I was able to manage to

start from nothing and to finish as 3rd honors of our whole batch. As I took the test in the

top 4 Universities I passed UP Manila for Political Science and Ateneo for Legal

Management, however my father wanted me to take up accountancy to be a replica of

him of becoming a CPA, Lawyer and so I took accountancy at San Beda College where I

eventually shifted form Accountancy to Legal Managament due to endless pressure and

hardships. I was able to top the PAPAT Exam or battery exam in Accountancy in 1st year

college where I was considered to be the best of them all. I have also earned medals in

the field of swimming and football on pride games. I also participated in the San Beda
Debate Society recruitment and eventually passed however I was not able be active

because of the endless demands of accountancy before.

I studied at The San Beda College Manila Accountancy for 2 years and eventually

proceeded to Legal Management due to the difficult and hectic schedules. Accountancy

is different from Legal Management because it would require double pressure but not to

the full extent of a human’s capacity. However, what is different is that in Legal

Management, you could get a better understanding of the possible outcomes that Law

School may give you which is why it is also a good pre-law course. There can actually be

any kind of course that can be taken in order to qualify for a law school along with the

PHILSAT that has to be taken as well as with the Law Aptitude Exams. The top 3 Law

schools of the Philippines are University of the Philippines, Ateneo De Manila and San

Beda College where law is thought in the grand manner.

One of my interests is playing the guitar. When I was a child, my father thought me

how to use the guitar in the art of strumming where I eventually upgraded the skill that

was thought to me studied how to pluck which was a more revised form of playing the

guitar for it involved different variations and complexity. Another hobby of mind is that of

swimming where I was also trained when I was a little boy. I learned the four strokes of

swimming by the age of 14 years old and practiced the skills that I have learned and

eventually competed with other athletes. These skills are God’s gift that I have

continuously treasured for the benefit of not only myself but for the benefit of the others

who appreciate the art of the sport and the art of music.
