MY AutoBiography
My name is Jennifer M. Percha, also known as Apinggay in the province of Masbate and Jen in Dasmarinas Cavite. I was born on June 25, 2005, in Masbate City, a province of joy and beautiful seas. I remember when I was in 3rd grade and my advisor gave us a task. It is a letter that we give to someone special to us. I remember that day when the first person I wrote a letter to was my great-grandmother. The color of the paper I used is emerald green, which is my favorite color now. I remember when I was a child, my family and our neighbors went to the sea every Sunday to bond. I personally hate September because it was the worst month for me. I had two reasons why: first, on September 14, 2016, my family and I flew unexpectedly to Dasmarinas Cavite because a cousin of my mother threatened us.
That day, I was one of the dancers representing our school's dance festival. I want to join and be part of that dance festival. I remember that I promised myself that before I graduated from this school, I would be one of their dancers and join competitions. I want to join this dance festival because every year you compete with other schools. Luckily, when there was a tryout for those who wanted to participate, I was one of the chosen ones, so I was one of the happy children who participated in that Danish festival. We also studied for several months and worked hard to practice or master the dance steps. That's why I was very angry with my mom's cousin because the competition was only a few weeks away, and because of him, I was not included in that dance festival. It's not just because I didn't participate in the dance competition that I hate my mom's cousin; there are many other reasons why I don't like him.
The second is September 17, 2019. It was the day when I was victimized by the Budol-Budol gang. My phone, my first phone that I bought with my own money, just disappeared. It's sad because that didn't even last me a year, and because of that accident, I had a trauma and couldn't sleep for weeks. I remember when I was in 7th grade. I was in the market with my mom, and a guy was wearing a shirt with PMA printed on it. I was curious at the time about what that meant, so when I arrived home, I immediately looked it up. And then, when I saw the meaning of PMA, which is the Philippine Military Academy, I was amazed, because it's all about cadets who want to become soldiers. It's almost a week since I couldn't stop learning the meaning of PMA and watching it on YouTube; at that time, I already knew that I wanted to be a soldier. Until now, I didn't know why I wanted to become a soldier; all I knew was that I loved it and I wanted to be part of them. I remember that time when my ESP teacher made us write on paper the profession we wanted to grow up in, and because I knew that PMA was about being a soldier, what I wrote was to be a PMA, and I realized late that I wanted to be an academy. Past present, I want to become a fighter pilot for my country (the Philippines) and, if I'm lucky, become the first woman to become a Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
