ELLA'S

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

"ELLA MAE NOMOS, With High Honors, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, Class of 2018."

           It was a bright morning on the 3rd day of April year 2018 when our class graduated in Senior High School. One of the momentous events of every student life because it is the time that we will now reap the fruits of our hard works, our hard-earned diploma together with our special awards.

Priceless smile with radiance eyes was painted in everyone's faces. The place was filled with so much joy and happiness but, there is a girl simply sitting at the corner with no emotions in her face and just patiently waiting for the program to start. And guess who? That girl is me.

​

           During those time, I am still wondering why I didn't make it to be the class Valedictorian. I am very much disappointed and keep on asking myself, "Is my best wasn't good enough"? I am supposedly be one of the happiest person because that is my day and I am one of those students who got the highest award on our class but I cant. I can’t celebrate the achievement that I had because I know it to myself that it is not enough to make my family, especially my parents proud. I feel that I failed as a daughter once again because I didn't make it, I didn't surpass the weight of pressure and expectations they put in me. It is still fresh on my mind the same scenario that happened years ago when I was in grade school.

​

        I always rank number two and graduated as the class Salutatorian only that's why I am being compared to my elder sister who graduated as Valedictorian in their class. They always tell to everyone that my sister is better and smarter than me. And every time I hear those words, it feels that I am stabbed on my chest a thousand times. Nothing is more painful than hearing those words. By the way we are six siblings and I am the youngest, so all the pressure is in me because they are now all successful with their chosen career.

 

                During grade school and high school, I poured my heart in studying and striving harder in order to prove myself and to make my parents proud. But here it goes, I f eel that I broke my wings once more and I fail to reach the sky and landed on the ground instead. As I keep proving myself to everyone, I think that I lost myself in the process. The lack of support and motivation as well as the learning environment that I'm into affects my attitude towards learning and my emotional development on how to accept defeat.

Heavy hearted but life must go on. I just accepted what happened and decided to close this chapter of my story and to open a new one as I sail for my next journey.

​

            With my passion in teaching others, interest in science subject and with the influence and motivation of Dr. Jesus F. Carbonell , my former science teacher who always believes in me and sees my potential, I decided to pursue Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Science. I took up entrance exams into different Universities and Colleges but I am looking forward to pass in Pangasinan State University, Bayambang Campus and luckily, I made it.

          I am now officially a PSUnian and currently a third-year student. I am proud to be a part of the Science and Mathematics Department, a place I considered my home which I consistently serving since I was in first year as a student leader. Entering PSU-BC made me realize a lot of things. Its open doors allowed me to find my true self. And I think, it is one of the greatest achievement that I have now; to be able to know myself better and deeper and with that, it helps me to boost my self esteem and also improves my attitude towards learning.

​

        I became mature enough to handle things. Moral development, emotional development, social relationship as well as my creativity is more cultivated. I also realize the true value or essence of education. Education is not a competition at all. It is not always about being on top, having a high grade and the number of medals you’ll earned rather, it’s all about the knowledge, skills and values that you will learn along the learning process. Same with our achievement in life, it is not all about the big one that matters. No matter how little or big it is, be grateful on what we achieve because our achievements reflects our hardships in life. Every achievement that we had, stands ourself. Behind a great achievement, stands herself.
