First day in Bulacan her grandma accompanied Kristia to choose what section she wants to get in. there were three sections, the Love, Joy and Peace. First section was nice but students are not, all their eyes were looking at her, based in their actions some were angry. They tried to enter the next section Kristia told to her grandma that section was better and she chose it instantly. Most of her classmates are transferees.

My Life Being Single

As a teenager just few years ago, Kristia have been so careless with everything she does. She overused her right for freedom and believed that's part of being a teenager. She wanted to try everything. And when she wanted something she don't let anyone to interfere with her, even her parents. During high school, she wanted to spend a lot time with friends. But it was hard for her to have a bonding with her friends because she was living with a conservative grandmother and a mansion house that similar to jail that time the worse thing is that she was also the school directress. It was so horrible it seems like she’s in a quarantine at school even at house. It was so hard that wherever she goes it seems that all eyes were on her. And so the more she reprimanded to go home early yet she disobeyed. There were times when used to bribe their housemaid just to let her sneak out of the house. She doesn’t know, she just wanted to be free that time and have fun. Until one time her grandmother reported all her actions to her mother including the declining grades at school and it really made her mother so sad. She has never seen her mother that sad before maybe she was so disappointed to Kristia. Her mother doesn't expect her to be so irresponsible for her actions. That time Kristia thought they'll stop in sending her to school and have grounded. But on the contrary, her mother was so patient and told Kristia that she will give her another chance to prove her self to her mother. That she will be a better and obedient daughter to her. Till then she have realized she should be serious with her studies. Kristia was a teenager, a youth and therefore should be free and enjoying life. Yet she should remember that she is accountable for her deeds and so she should be responsible enough in very action she made.

Three Unforgettable Friends in Brilliant

She’s the one the other was Joan Marie Mapala, a first year student and a generous friend of Kristia. Joan treated Kristia as her sister and vice-versa. They were calling one another as “Pot”, Kristia always accompany Joan when going home that’s the reason why Kristia got home late most of the time.
