The Real Life of Josh

Chapter 1: Story of A Boy Part I

I grew up in a small village in the Philippines. I am pure Filipino. My name is Josh. But most of the people living in the same street called me Dudut. I don't know why people are used to call me that way. Well it had me my routine of hearing people calling me that certain name. You cannot please people to call you on your right name coz what others called you they might call you that way also.

Moving forward. I am 15 years old now. Currently on my third year High School on an academic wise school here in Batangas. Batangas is my hometown since I was 6month old. I am a native of Laguna but eversince my dad had job offer here in Batangas, well, he grabbed the opportunity and grabbed a house spot near a mall.

It's the first Monday of June. Definitely it is school days now. I had my section and definitely my classmates are all my classmates since 2nd year.

Only my classmates called me Josh. But going back on my neighborhood, they always made fun of my name. Well I really don't care.

It's the first day of school and I feel I'm not into school but I have to go by the way.

"Mom, Where's my allowance? I have to go now. It's first day. I must not be late." I told my mom.

"Here.," as she handed me over my weekly allowance. "Goodbye. Have fun and take care always".

Well she handed me one yellow money and three pieces of violet one. I have 800php to start my week. I commute going to school. I rode on jeepneys just to arrived on time on to school.

First day is terrible. The clock ticks so fast. Time check and it is 6:53am and yet I'm still on a wet market. Oh. Shoot! Im gonna be super late. I don't know who's gonna be my adviser. Rumors said that this adviser is super strict meaning to say even attendance had to be checked.

Well, I arrived late by 20minutes. Good thing that the instructor is not around. My classmates told me that she is not able to meet us on our first meeting due to some purposes.

To sum up this story of mine during my 3rd year life, I became rank 8 of my class and I am really proud of it.
