Narrative Essay About Andrin

Maybe for other people it was just an ordinary day to start their daily routine and to finish their tasks. But for Edwin and Nenita, it was an extraordinary day because another life was added to their family. And that day, which was on the 9th of June, 9:18 a.m. to be exact, was the time when I first exist in this world. My parents considered Ana Angelica to become my name but they thought that it was a long name. So at last, they decided to christen me as Angelica and in our home, they nicknamed me as Ana. Yet in school, I preferred to be called Andrin. I am the type of person who was shy, quiet and not-so-energetic. But deep inside, I have many thoughts in my mind, many topics to talk about and many things to do. It was just that I am not
I became interested on that because during that time Journalism was “new” for me. My teacher on that subject chose me to become the editorial cartoonist who will compete to other schools. But after two years, he thought that I am not into cartooning so I try another category which is copyreading and headline writing. When I first compete on that category, I won 10th place on the division level. Because of that winning, I pursue to become more excellent on that. Later on, I became the assistant editor-in-chief in our school publication. I think my greatest achievement when I was in high school was when I became the class salutatorian in our batch. This achievement boost my self-esteem because this only proved that despite of the difficult circumstances, I can still turn my goal into reality, of course with the help of God. I took the entrance exam of Polytechnic University of the Philippines, University of the Philippines and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila in preparation to the next chapter of my life, which is the college life. Among the three universities, I passed the exam of PUP and PLM. But back then, PLM was my dream university because they said that it has a high standard and the students there are bright. So when someone said that I passed the exam on that university, which was I didn’t expect to happen because the exam was quite difficult, I became so glad because I knew that that was only the
I’m glad that I am classified to belong on that course because that was my second choice, but I still prefer to take the accountancy. I personally talked to the guidance counselor to ask if there was something that I can do on my situation. Good thing there was a privilege for the honor students to choose the course that they want. Of course there was no turning back once I chose accountancy, but I still take the risk. My life in accountancy was like a wheel that keeps rolling. There are many times that I became so discouraged because of failed exams and quizzes but life still goes on. There are also times when I became determined to continue my path in this course like when I passed the comprehension exam there. Yet when I am on my second year, my wheel became tired in moving. I realized that I am not happy in accountancy and this is not what I want so I have to let it go now. My wheel eventually became flat and cannot roll anymore when my professor in Financial Accounting 1 gave me a failed grade. I have no choice but to accept that and to have another wheel that will lead me into another path of success. After all, I believe that His plans in my life will still prevail. Now, I am a third year student taking up a degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Finance and Treasury Management. I am more relax and happy in my course now compare to the other one before.
