An autobiography by Jobert Mendoza
September 9,2004 a new baby boy was born at Holy Cross Calapan at 5:05 in the afternoon, with a weight of 2900 grams. And yes that is me, Jobert Mendoza. My story was an adventure I can say because even at 9 months I had already been to 3 places; those are Dasmarinas Cavite where my parents are living, next is Calapan where I was born and third is in Maligaya Gloria where my story progresses. When I was 9 months I was adopted by my Tito and Tita because no one in my family can take care of me because my mother named Mary Grace Mendoza still has a contract to be finished in Singapore while my father Joselito Mendoza is an ARMY. On the other hand my guardians, Leilany De Jesus and Jimmy De Jesus were once an owner of a bakery shop which seemed to be growing well until I was in grade 6.
With regards to educational background I was in the same school from kindergarten to grade 6 which is the Gloria Central School a school which is located very near our home.I was a consistent honor student when I was in elementary. I finished kindergarten as valedictorian and until grade 5 was a part of top 5, but things seemed to change when I was in grade 6 where a lot of problems came along. My tita having cancer and her wife leaving her during chemotherapy this changes my life because I have now to be independent and know how to adapt to the situation. I was sent to our neighbors for me to take care of but I was carried away with problems that I guess affected my academic and extracurricular performances making me end up in the top 11 during my elementary years.
As my tita continues to fight and survive I used her as my motivation to continue. To have a better guardian and home for me I was sent in my Lolo Nelson and Leila Casalla and transferred to my new school which is the OMNHS at first I never know someone but as time flies everything blooms I have a lot of experience some are painful and some are very good. I was also a consistent honor student since I got here and I can say that I did not make a decision to go to this school. Until now I am still a part of OMNHS Talabalita and The Tamaraw Newsette, the official publication paper of our school. I also represented our school in radio broadcasting, anchoring Pasada Balite, my journalistic career in high school may be painful because I was not able to reach NSPC I am still glad of the learning experience I was able to get.
Now that I will end my SHS life under Humanities and Social Sciences strand I am happy because I am still part of those honor students. After this I will be taking on the much bigger and harder life which is college life taking Political Science at Divine Word College of Calapan.
