Matthew Santiago here.

I am a Law student and I am 24.

I am an only child and my father is so strict that’s why I have to meet all of his expectations.

I don’t have hard feelings anyway. I love challenging myself too. I mean, I want to strive for the best. I don’t have any options but to give my 100% effort in everything I do.

Ever since elementary, I have been showing excellence in academics.

After all, dito lang naman sa academics ako magaling.

I am not cool, sabi ng iba sakin. I am not like the other guys out there na mahilig sa cool fashion. I prefer wearing coats and polos---the typical fashion of matured guys.

People call me “ Tanda”. It’s because that I am only 24 pero kung makaasta ako eh parang papa o lolo.

I am a disciplinarian. I hate mean things. I hate being bullied.

I was bullied actually when I was in elementary. When I transferred school at the age of 10, I decided to change my image. I became friendly. My classmates would also seek for my help for their studies.

When I got older and older bit by bit, I realized that the ‘disciplinarian, geek and matured Matt’ is the real me.

Lovelife???

Nah!I don’t have anyone to love right now.

Oh yeah, hindi pa ako nagkakagirlfriend…..Kahit isa.

Try finding me in a large group of guys. Ako yung tao dun na hindi ma-appeal. I look stern and remote kaya walang lumalapit sakin.

Gusto ko man makipag-socialize, I can’t bring myself up to do it.

How weird. Wala talaga akong nagugustuhan na babae ever since elementary. This is really weird.

Masyado akong nabusy sa pag-aaral kaya no time para sa love.

Right now, I want to devote my whole time and effort sa pag-aaral ng abogasya.

I want to finish my studies na walang hindrance.

I want to be an excellent lawyer.

Konting tiis na lang and I’ll be graduating soon.

Then next stop is the Bar Exam.

I had already fixed my road to my future.

I hope everything will go just like what I have planned.
