AUTOBIOGRAPHY I, Rosemarie G. Sausal was born in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte on March 1 ,1!"".

I#m the only daughter o$ %lorentino Sanche& Sausal and Sherlita Galdiano Sausal. I ha'e two siblings, both o$ them are married. (he older one is a car loans o$$icer at Banco de )ro, Cagayan de )ro City branch, the youngest is a ser'ice crew at *ollibee Butuan branch and each o$ them already has a daughter. I started grade school at the age o$ si+ ,-. in our Brgy. and su//osedly I was only going to be a 'isitor in the class but my teacher decided to ma0e me as a regular student since I was already 1uali$ied to be in grade school. %ortunately, I to//ed the class and became my teacher#s $a'orite. But my Aunt decided to trans$er me in a standard school and I was bullied by my new classmates. Since then, I decided to /rotect my sel$ $rom /eo/le who will ste/ on my rights. I graduated in the year 2,333 and entered high school the same year. I en4oyed my teenage li$e during my high school years 4ust li0e any other ty/ical teenagers. I had my $irst boy $riend at the age o$ 1- and he was a 'ery good bas0etball /layer he /lays a lot o$ s/orts. 5e were $riends be$ore we became lo'ers and he res/ected me 'ery much. e'en though my $amily doesn#t li0e him because he was 0nown to be an addict. 6'en so I continued our relationshi/ but he ga'e u/ on me. Maybe because he was $illed u/ with too much criticism that may not be true either. A$ter sometime we became $riends again and let that /ast /ass by. 5hen I was in high school I ha'e always dreamed about becoming a nurse someday since there was not e'en one medical team in our clan. so I /lanned to be one, un$ortunately my /arents had a $inancial /roblem and can#t a$$ord $or the e+/enses. So I decided to enroll at a state college that is now a state uni'ersity $or me to still continue my study and to hel/ my $amily. But they were not o$$ering nursing /rogram in this school so I decide to enroll in the com/uter science /rogram. It was then I had an o//ortunity to enter a club which is the school band and I auditioned $or the 'ocalist /osition and gladly I was /ea0ed to be their ne+t 'ocalist. (hen I became a $ull scholar until 7rd year because o$ being a band member but I had to maintain a /assing rate. 8ence, I studied hard but I guess my best wasn#t good enough because in my turning years in 7rd year I really had a di$$icult time which Made me $eel that it was really not $or me. So I o/ted to rest $or a while but my /arents wont allow me to sto/ schooling so they /ursued to ma0e it /ossible to enroll me in a /ri'ate school were I can really do what I had been dreaming to be someday. So when I was already in the nursing /rogram I really tried my best to /ass each sub4ect. It was really hard though but I made it through. I graduated and then decided to ha'e my re'iew in C9) city and it was 1uite a battle between me and my /arents because I had ne'er been away $rom them $or not longer than a wee0. But then I told them that i$ not now when will they let me stand on my own $eet so, to ma0e the long story short they allowed me to ta0e my re'iew and board e+am at C9) City. It was them the $lash $lood occurred and I was 'ery much blessed to ha'e stayed in a /lace near the church which had not been a$$ected that much with the $lash $lood. :n$ortunately my $riends in the lower /art o$ the city su$$ered a lot $rom that storm they nearly drowned to death. 5hen I 0new about them I immediately came to see their situation. I tried my best to com$ort them and /ro'ide them with the things that they needed because they ha'e not sa'ed anything thing but them sel'es alone. And e'erything they owned had been washed out by the $lash $lood. 5e too0 the e+am the ne+t day and I was 'ery an+ious and $orgot almost e'erything but god was 'ery

gracious enough to let me /ass the e+am. I celebrated my 2;th birthday with a bang. 5e also did a than0sgi'ing /arty and in'ited our $amily and $riends, and those signi$icant /eo/le that had been a /art o$ my 4ourney to rich my goal to become a nurse. I had been through a lot o$ trials in li$e, been ste//ed u/ by /eo/le and /re4udged. But it did not ma0e me bac0 down. Instead, it made me stronger and bra'er $or me to $ace each wa0ing day o$ my li$e and ma0e it wonder$ul each day. Now my new 4ourney is to $ind a 4ob that I can a//ly my 0nowledge in ta0ing care o$ others. And I am really struggling in this new 4ourney o$ mine. :ntil such time my grand mother told me to come to manila to search $or a 4ob because in here the hos/itals are using a much more so/histicated $acilities. And also there are much more number o$ hos/itals to choice $rom in here. And now here I am a//lying in your hos/ital. And ho/ing to 1uali$y as an em/loyee.
