I'm More of A Number Person

     I'm more than a fact person; I'm more than a number person. I ask myself, my nonsense self but it makes any sense. How do you cram the last fifteen years into a few paragraphs? How do you make people remember from the beginning all the way to the end? How do you help everyone understand how wonderful it was and how horrible it was and how everything it was?

    So, I say, I came up with a rough few statistic in an attempt to capture my life experience in the best way I know how. In the two years I attended University of San Agustin, six years I attended Sambag Elementary School, currently attending West Visayas State University- Integrated Laboratory School, there were

     No circumstances could  I ever adlib. No problems can't be solved. Not all secrets are revealed. Some secrets are hidden. All of my memories are sealed but as I grow old I believe that my memories will remain chained in my mind. It's my life. I can't really tell you how happy,sad,horrible and wonderful life is. But I can say that life is one of the most precious gift I have.
