Everything in my past made me who I am now. When I was a kid, I was the leader of the school playground during recess. I get the nice swings, I get to play in the slides. All the kids want to be my friend because I think up all the fun games to play. When I was a kid, I led other kids. Now, I still have that quality. When I was a kid, I cried when I couldn't get what I want. I wasn't spoiled, I was just a drama queen, very sensitive. Now, I'm mostly indifferent and apathetic. When I was a kid, I wasn't good at singing and dancing. Now, I'm still not good at it, but I've learned to have guts and still sing and dance anyway. When I was a kid, I loved being read to and reading. Now I'm addicted to reading. When I was a kid I love taking things apart, figuring out how stuff works. Now, I have a screwdriver set and a lot of extra bolts and screws

I believe that everything happened with a reason and the Lord has planned it. Nancypoh you are destined to live in this world so that you can share the goodness that you've experienced. Let's spread good deeds to have a better world.

Greetings! Well, when I was a child, my classmates always tease me that I'm ugly. Some stays away from me. They don't want me to be their friend because I'm ugly. I don't care about myself, my hair and every thing that's why whenever I had a crush on someone, and my crush would know about it, they will stay away from me.I always cry because of it but I'm still thankful that it happened because I made those experiences as my stepping stone. Now, I'm not after my crush, he's after me. Hoho! :) But still, I keep my feet back on the ground. :)

I am most grateful to my parents for who i am now. As I child i was allowed to enjoy life and was trained to be responsible and independent. My mom taught me the importance of money and earning it. She taught me that things should be shared to someone less unfortunate in life. She was strict and yet she was very kind and generous.

What I am today is totally different as to how I was 15 years ago. As a child, I had low self-confidence, preoccupied by fear of rejection, fear of authorities and aloof. Maybe because of the disciplinary actions of my father. I grew up responsible and independent in school with minimal attention. Now that I'm 23, I could say that I was still grateful with the experience since it made me mature in dealing everyday situations. I relate well today with people from all ages. And simply because this time, the Lord made me realized how precious and uniquely created I am in His eyes. Trying to recall all those days, I would not totally want to. It's a sad past somehow. But I'm proud that from that past life, I learned, I loved and knew who I am and what I am capable to be in the future.

hello lamat, I am an artists since my childhood. i started to draw things and sketching when i was 5 years old. And i am happy with my life though i was not able to pursue my painting career. I am happy because my kids loves to draw and they've got the talent that i once have. I am always there to guide them,and teach them if they asks,and i am happy because they are even better than i am. One more thing is,they also made my dreams come true,like playing those musical instrument that i wanted to learn. I am seeing myself from my kids...and that's enough for me to reach my dreams. have a great day
