In the 16th day of March in the year 1996, Yolanda conceived her first baby boy at Cardinal Santos Hospital, and that’s when I came in “John Riyo”. My parents always told me a story on how I was born and how I grew up. They even told me that they were so happy when I was born. When I am their only son, I toys or things that I like was given to me all the time. We also go to malls every week. And when I was infected by typhoid fever they brought me right away to the hospital because they love me so much.
When I was growing up my parents always told me to be obedient and never forget the things they told me. But when I grew up, I always break my promises to them. When they told me not to be boastful, I do not follow them. They always scold me even though I am right and they don’t listen to my explanations. When I go home early they sometimes scold me, when I go home late they scold me. I don’t know where I should place myself. The only thing that was kept in my mind was that they scold me because they love me. My father, Ricky, also told me to study hard because education is the only thing that they can give us. It is actually right. Because when I grew up and I do not finish my studies I may end up cleaning the streets and getting the garbage that the people had thrown outside. But, I always make them unhappy. When they got my card I got 79% in English. I also always snob them when they told me to go home early.
Now, I have realized that they do all of this things to me because they want me to grow up not only healthy but also they want me to grow wise and a proud son. I also felt pity for them because they work hard just to send me in a private school like TUMCS. My mother also had sleepless nights just because she ironed my uniforms. And despite the fact that they scold me everyday, or should I say twice or thrice a day, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND I DON’T WANT THEM TO BE OUT OF MY LIFE. Now, you decide! Am I a WAYWARD or a LOVING SON?
Good entry.
