Hi, my name is Paulette Frances Cristi T. Dacudao, born to parents Paul A. Dacudao and Maria Flordeluna T. Dacudao, on the lucky day of June 21, 1992. I was welcomed into this world with so much joy and happiness, it was not surprising that I grew up to become a very jovial child. I always had a smile on my face, ready to laugh at everything and everyone around me. Being the first born grandchild meant that I was spoiled by my grandparents. Fortunately for me, I didn't grow up to be the self-centered brat that being spoiled causes a person to become because I have siblings.
I have three other siblings - two of them brother's and one sister (all annoying!). Being the eldest entitles me to a horde of responsibilities that I have to take. I don't mind thought because I love my siblings (even if they annoy the hell out of me). As the oldest, it is my job/duty to show them what a good role model I am so that when they grow and make decisions for themselves, they'll know how to choose between what's right and what's wrong.
I am also kind, understanding, friendly, humble, helpful, loving, proud, but most of all I am simple and content. I am satisfied with my talents, my endeavors, my achievements, my family, my skills, my appearance (even if I am a bit round in the belly) because all these God gave to me. And I am happy that He has given me such a wonderful and beautiful life. But even if I'm satisfied, it is still my aim to nurture His gifts and develop them to become something greater.
And as I look towards my future, I can see that it would be difficult. challenges will be thrown my way and there may be times when I will be ready to give up but I'll make sure not to let that happen (to give up, I mean) because doing so means that I have failed. I know that I am strong enough to avoid that from ever happening. No matter how I lived and will live my life, I know I'll always be happy on this very special journey, choosing the right path along the way.
