How My Mom Restored My Dignity (by Haizell Anore)

May 10, 2009

I have always been vocal about how I consider my Mom as my bestfriend. I have told her everything about myself – my problems, my insecurities, my dreams, my crushes, probably everything in my life. She has supported me in every step of my growth and development. When she discovered of my interests in studying, she bought a complete set of encyclopedia out of our tight budget. She pursued my interests and I entered school at the age of two as saling pusa. Starting schooling in a private Montessori, it was hard for me to adjust to a public school when we had to transfer because of a financial crisis. I was bullied not only by my classmates, but also by their parents and even the teachers. I was not allowed to take a reading test and they sent me directly to section 8, the second lowest section in first grade. My Mom immediately talked with the teacher. She would stay from the moment she took me to school until she picked me up in the afternoon. She would bring lunch to school and eat together in a picnic style. I eventually met good kids who until now are my friends. I adjusted well in my teenage years, achieving both in academic, sports and having good sets of friends. I graduated valedictorian in elementary, salutatorian in a science high school and currently in senior year of BS/MS Chemistry in Ateneo de Manila University as a scholar. She is still my bestfirend.
