THE LIFE OF 4CL VALENCIA: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY

My childhood

On 08 June 2000, a small boy was born on the city of Muntinlupa to Andrew and Anna Marie Valencia. Carlo Andrei was the name given to the boy and his journey is about to unfold.

Who am I?

As a kid, I never really amounted to anything but my parents' love for me pushed them to go the extra mile in order for me to achieve high goals. Fortunately, it worked and I ended up always being an awardee back in elementary. But it did not stop there; come high school, I was able to get into the Philippine Science High School wherein I spent 6 years of my most memorable years. The question who am I is a question that remains unanswered for even I do not know who I am. Now, I am here in the PMA still searching and striving so that I will be able to finally answer the question "who am I?"

My goals

Frankly, I have only one goal in mind and that is to be genuinely happy with my life. I want to be able to tell myself that I did not waste my life doing things that will not make me happy.

Ups and Downs

Just like any other endeavor in life, the path to my goals are not all ups but also downs. Right now, as a plebe here in PMA, I would say that I am at a relatively low point in my life but I know that these hardships teach me to be a better personand to be able to savour the 'up' moment. A wheel cannot move without turning thus good things are bound to happen if I just hold on to the wheel and do not let go.

Conclusion

Life is never easy and I guess that is what makes it worth living. Getting what we want all the time with minimum effort will weaken us while on the other hand, being able to wark hard for the things we want in life will strengthen us and make us stronger to face the bigger challenges in life. The story of Foklasman Valencia has only begun and there are a lot of things to look forward to but one thing is for sure, Foklasman Valencia will give it everything he's got to make the story worth reading and understanding to others.
