(This is a school work in my 2nd year of high school in DWU. The paper was dated March 9, 1982)
I am Manuel, the son of Lorenzo and Auxiliadora. I am the youngest child in the family. I am a boy, a man, a person, a human, an earthling and a living thing. I am a sanguine person, a person who stands in the middle between the rich and the poor, strong and weak, the young and old, the fearful and the brave, the bad and the good. I am fearful of what I do not know, but I am brave enough to try anything new. Some of the time, I may be bad but most of the time I try to be good. I know I am strong enough to stand on my own beliefs. ButI can also be affected by the opinion of others. I am not so young that I cannot do things for myself, but I am not old enough to be able to take care of myself by myself. I am myself.
