PETER JOHN : TOPNOTCHER TO VISUAL MANAGER

in #steemitfamilyph8 years ago (edited)

Hello Steem Friends

This post is a birthday post for someone I have with a love-hate relationship


Six years before I was born, my parents had my brother on the 22nd. He was the first grandchild from my dad's side and didn't have any grandchild until my brother turned five. He grew up with my grand parents like I did, weaved garlic is what his playground, running all alone in that rambo slippers and climbing up and down on a tractor. He may grew up alone until five years old. On what we always talk about, he had good happy memories with grandparents until we moved.

When my mother's sisters and brothers first migrated to the US, we had to move in at my mom's house to take care of it. When I started in first grade he is graduating from elementary. Going to school, I always walk with him, in the morning and like wise in the afternoon as well as going home. I know my brother being persevere, patient, hard working and when he wants something he has his ways. He then graduated in elementary with flying honors and he was able to be one of the Special Science Class in one of the very good high schools in our province. Upon graduating from high school, he entered to very high excellent university in Ilocos Norte.

my brother in front of the capitol last year


I saw him from the start of his college of the highest peak of tallest mountain he climb. His struggles and everything, I was there. I was one of the witnesses. From his Practice Teaching, yes. He is a teacher. I believe and guarantee that my brother is a very smart individual, his cognitive thinking is way different from mine. From his practice teaching they questioned his smartness, people tried to judge him and what hurts more for me was they used to be his former teachers back in his elementary days. I didn't see him cry or anything but I know within his inside feelings, HE WAS VERY HURT. But those didn't stop him from reaching his goals in life and graduated in college with Latin Honors

Back in 2008-2009, our town Bacarra launched the Bac-Bacarra Festival Dance Parade Competition he was the dance instructor of four barangays including ours and at the same time he is reviewing for taking his LET: Licensure Exam for Teachers. I can still remember, November 2009 at 10ish when I was on my computer and he is on his too when he screamed to me and asked me for help to load the results for the LET but due to un explainable reason both of us can't load the site and we are so eager to see the result, we are not anticipating for the result but all of his friends already sending him message telling him that he is one of the topnotchers. We didn't believe until we both see it. We screamed when we saw it because we couldn;t contain our happiness and his hardships paid off. At that moment I felt so much proud to have him us my brother. And with our celebration we suddenly woke up our parents who were sleeping that night.

That morning, while getting ready for school, I heard my uncle's radio on. He is listening to an Ilocano News. Later after that radio was turn on and he heard my bro's name over the radio he ran home which is just next door, he theen looked for my bro and asked my mother if we already know. And that day, I went to school filled with joy, happiness and proud of what my brother accomplished. As I enter the gate of my school, joys from each faces and happiness welcomed me that morning because people knows that I am a sister of a TOPNOTCHER.

He became a teacher for four years before migrating. And when we moved he first work in Forever 21, and when I saw in him that he is enjoying I asked him about going back to teaching. He then told me that if he passed his license exam then he will go back to teaching field. Unfortunately he didn't pass it but thru hardships every six months he got promotions and was able to reach a VISUAL MANAGER.
