Ma. Andion Joseli R. Yabut III-3

Autobiography

I was born on the twenty third of April, 1989. My parents are Jose Maria P. Yabut and Alma Constancia R. Yabut. They named me Ma. Andion Joseli R. Yabut. I am a native of the batangas province, but have lived in many places.

Through the years I have been to four different schools. For nursery I went to St. Joseph Development Center. From kinder to grade one I went to Assumption Antipolo, but I had to leave Assumption and Manila. Our family went to Mindanao and I attended Notre Dame of Dadiangas when I was in grade two. When I was in grade three and four I went to De La Salle Lipa. But unfortunately, I only studied there for two years. After finishing grade four our family went back to Manila. I went to Assumption Antipolo again from grades five to year three.

My classmates would always ask me, “Why do you move a lot?" or "Isn’t it hard to move and attend a new school almost every year”? I would always say the same answer, “it’s not hard it’s actually fun, new place, new escapade, and new acquaintances.”

At some point in the summer of grade four I tried out a new sport that I didn’t know I could do. When I was just a kid, barely even eight years old, I started my swimming lessons. At first I was scared because I was afraid of the water, but through the years I have learned to love the sport and become actually good at it.

I have competed internationally for my team. Also in the Philippines I joined the first ever “Batang Pinoy”, held in Bacolod. I also joined the Southern Tagalong Regional Athletics Association (STRAA). I won a silver medal in STRAA at the four by twenty five relay race.


Ever since I was I a kid I’ve always wanted to be a doctor and save lived. I have looked up to my uncle who’s a doctor in the province. He is very excellent. And no matter how our doctors leave the country to be a nurse he is still there in the province willing to be a soldier of God to help the people in need in out country. If I can compare my dream to anything I would compare it to the air. Like air, it is every where; similar to a doctor He or She must be in attendance every time. Also with out air we cannot live, in the vein of air we cannot live with out our doctors.

Now I am in year three, I am about to graduate next year. I guess my stay here in Assumption is my longest stay in one school. The school has helped me grow as a person. It has taught me a lot about my faith in God. They also taught me how to value my friends and learn to love my family. I learned in Assumption that we must be people not only women of faith and action. I also learned that if we want to get something we must work hard for it. Assumption taught me that in life if you want to be able to help people shouldn’t think of yourself only but you must think for others as well. You must think about the good of the people and how you can reach out to them. I also admire that in our school we really value simplicity. You don’t have to blow your own horn about something to be someone, just be you’re self. You shouldn’t care about what people think, if people don’t like you for who you are, being simple, and then those people are shallow. They just judge you buy your looks; therefore they are not worth your accompaniment.

Up to today I am still figuring out my mission in this world. Why God sent me here. I am willing to wait to find out what God’s mission for me is. I am here to be his soldier of faith anytime he needs me. If He wants me to be a doctor and save lives, so be it. But for now I deem that He just wants me to be a friend a student and a daughter to him and my parents.
