"The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day." John Milton
Every first day of January is set to be the day of reunion of the family from my mother's side. Since our family owns a small chapel in Cebu (which is my mother's hometown) then it is a part of our reunion to hold a fiesta in honor for our chapel's patron on that the same day. Even in our early age we are already given tasks to comply for that said activity. Of course, the task will also depend on the range of the age, so the kids are assigned to present something, to serve foods and entertain the visitors. Preparing the decorations & snacks, decorating & cleaning the house, watching over the younger ones are assigned to the teenagers or the pre-adults. And lastly the adults are assigned to cook, and go to the market.
Even if I was still young I was trained already and given responsibilities that I need to comply to. As I grow up I'm now used to it and it's easy already for me to adjust especially when there's a deadline or an 11th hour activity. We are also trained to be religious and be family oriented. So as I grow up I am really attached to my family even though how fun it could to be with my circle of friends.
