Extra-Ordinary Life

In a recent exchange of text messages with my friend, I was brought to another part in my life when I was in my elementary level. I entered a christian school as a grade 2 student and didn't care much about academics. I guess that is natural for kids at that age. I remember the times that I started learning how to type properly and play games using stairs called "A B C." But one thing that I will never forget is the end of 2 nd grade.

First, Let me introduce you to my mom. Her name is Edith Marina Carillo Lacap . Here is a picture of her with her loving husband, my dad, Vic Lacap .

Our parents, our peers, our relatives, even the other people surrounding us. There are important stages that was stated in the book. The wound, The battle, and the beauty to rescue. I'm not an expert in books actually I rarely finish a book. What I am saying here is my own opinions about it.
