A Twirl and a Twist
A glimpse of the past is like a peep in
a prologue while you are reading a book. Chapters change but the story remains
the same yet there is always a conflict. There are people who become part of
our lives to strengthen us, to hold us when we think we are giving up and to
guide us like a compass that will serve as our direction towards the roads of
life.
I was born on July 4, 1997 in San Pablo
City, Laguna. I am the eldest among the daughters of Richard Torreja Tiquis and
Salita Solero Tarroquin. I have two siblings namely Lovely Ellaine T. Tiquis
and Lady Precious Emerald T. Tiquis. They are the reasons why a person named
Princess Diane Carmela Fshyne T. Tiquis is still living in this complicated and
hazardous world.
I studied at Lakes City Christian School
when I was in Kindergarten until I reach Grade 3. My sister and I transferred
in San Pablo Central School because of continuous increasing of tuition fee and
because of different obstacles which seems to be an ordinary scene but we
overcome those trials and struggles. As I finished my elementary days, I
graduated with an award as a “Model Pupil”.
As I am developing from a child to
adolescent, my physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual concepts
change. From a girl who does everything to a person with profound
understanding.
I step high school at Col. Lauro D.
Dizon Memorial National High School and belong to the Science Section. I felt
ponderous pressure to my classmates because most of them are competitive not
only in academic but also in co-curricular activities. But as time goes by,
those people become my friends. Friends that will wipe my tears during my
failures. I consider this high school life as one of the best memories I will
treasure deeply in my heart.
During these days, another obstacle
comes to our lives. It was my first sorrow, the death of my loving father,
Richard Tiquis. It was an endless pain, a continuous sob and the hardest
suffering to pass by. But these circumstances are such a beginning. I also
experienced walking from our house to school and vice versa because I don’t
have allowance that will support my needs in school. These experiences
strengthen my personality. Despite of it, I doubled the effort to study hard,
focus on my lessons and to enjoy life with limitations. After all the
struggles, I graduated in high school as 6th Honorable Mention and
dedicate my success to my family especially to my father and tor heavenly
father, Jesus Christ.
Years passed by, scars will always be
there. I learned enough from the experience and mistakes I have made.
Experiences that hone me to be a stronger person and mistakes that sharpen me
to be a better individual.
It was my second year in college at
Dalubhasaan ng Lunsod ng San Pablo taking Bachelor of Science in Secondary
Education Major in Social Studies. It is another remarkable chapter in my life.
Confucius said, “Life is really simple, but we insist in making it
complicated.” It seems to be difficult but I am trying my best to make it easy.
Easy in a way that I am doing my best to focus better on my studies to have a
better future someday.
Like what you can perceive with your
eyes, changes are the only permanent things in this world. There will always be
another chapter in our lives. It starts from innocence to full grown being.
Aiming for a desirable and successful ending and an epilogue that will lasts
forever not only in mind but deeply in your heart.
