I was pre-mature when I was born. I was only 7 months then. I had to stay in the hospital longer. The hospital where I was admitted is Chong Hua / CDU. I had to be operated because there was some kind of complication. My parents were afraid of the condition I’m into. Luckily the operation went well. After several months I was discharged. I continued my recovery at our house. A couple months passed by. My parents thought that I’m different from other babies. They took me to psychologist and their suspensions were true.
When I was about 5 or 6 I had a fever. It was on and off so they rushed me to the hospital. It was found out that I had dengue fever. I had to be admitted. I stayed at the hospital for a few days. I recovered well and was released.
The following year I went to a special school at Sun Shine Center located at Capitol. I studied there for about 3 to 4 years. There I learned how to read and write. I also learned sign language there from my classmates. When I was 8 or 9 years old I graduated. It was held in the morning at Capitol Parish located at Escario St. I received my diploma from my teacher. There were picture taking after the rites. We had a small party afterwards.
Next year I was sent to private school. The school is CIC near Gorordo. I started prep there until Grade 6. At school I had only a few friends. I had many experiences. I learnt a lot from it. When I was in Grade 2 and Grade 3 I had a fight with one of my classmates. The fight did not last long and we settled it peacefully. During my stay there I met a friend. He eventually became my best friend. He helped my a lot when I have problems. I graduated there at was held in the morning at our auditorium.
I went to high school at USC-South Campus near V. Rama St. I studied there from 1st year to 4th year. During my stay there I met many friends. I had a lot of fun there. I also learned many things there. I had improved my reading skills and writing skills. I also encountered some fights there with my classmates and was settled peacefully afterwards. I had many happy memories there. I graduated there.
When I was 15 yrs old I had a seizure attack. My 1st attacked was in August 2006. I was admitted at CDU for three days. I took my medicines (Tegretol CR/SR) to prevent my attacks so as not to endanger myself.
Last year I registered myself for the elections. My brother also came along with me to register. It was my first time to vote. It was a wonderful experience.
That’s how life and death goes through.....
