I am asked by my professor to write something about myself. Not a biography, just something maybe to introduce myself to him. Since my professor is a former Ambassador, and since he is teaching us a major subject, I should do this in a formal way. But the way I see him, and by the way he talk to us, he seems to be very understanding. Like if ever I decide to do this not in the “formal way”, he’ll sure understand.
My full name is Desiree Afan, but my friends call me “Desh”. I am seventeen years old and I live in ----- City. My father is a ----- for almost twenty years. He always travel, but never signed a contract longer than eight months. Maybe because, he makes sure that we are still guided the right way. My mom is a full time housewife. She even prevent herself from the “outside world” and prefer to stay home everyday with us. I have an older sister who is a graduate of --- and a younger brother, still on highschool. I can say that I have such a happy and peaceful family.
I love reading books, especially legal thriller and crime novel. But I am also interested in teenage stories and other people’s blogs. I also love cooking and watching films. I don’t have any sport to play. And I honestly can’t dance and can’t sing. I am a frustrated writer. I really love writing blogs and poems about anything under the sun.
I studied in a public school when I was in elementary, and transferred to a private one in high school. I I feel sure of the truth that I grew more, in all aspects during my four years of high school. It was in Saint ------ ------- still not too far from our house. There I encounter variety of personalities of teachers and of course of my fellow students. These four years of my life thought me many important lessons not just in academics but also in real life that will serve as my underlying basis, principle and strength as I face a bigger world.
After high school graduation, I remained uncertain of what course to take. Well, I really aspire to be a professional cook, a chef de cuisine, but at some aspects, I realized it wasn’t good enough. Having my sister who had taken a course related to it, it made me want to study something different. I spent time searching, asking and thinking what study to take until I saw BS International Relations course on the net under the website of LPU Manila. I have no idea what is it. I just know that it is related to Foreign Service which my father has been bragging about for a time. Right then, from being undecided, I was convinced to take the course. Now, I am a third year student, gladly part of the Dean’s List and fortunate to be a resident scholar.
After I graduate in college, I want to be employed in the Department of Foreign Affairs. I believe that it’s the best place to practice and utilize all the things I will learn. If I would be staying there for long, I still don’t know.
My life I can say is a semi-colorful, almost blissful, and pretty well fine. At the age of seventeen, I’ve done, tried and learned many things. As for me, life is too short to be good all the time. It’s too short, we must be ready to sin a little, and be ready to face the consequences. Life is something we own but we don’t have full control with.
I must know life isn’t easy and I don’t know what my future will be, but I am determined to make it the way I dreamed and planned it to be.
