THANK YOU LETTER FOR MY PARENTS

All I want to tell my parents is that I love them dearly and I will do everything I can to repay all the sacrifices they made for me and my siblings. I will follow all their dreams for me so that they will be proud of me. I want to thank them for their care and love for me ang may siblings. And even more thankful that they did not give up on our habits even though we sometimes rebuked them very much, but that they still cared about us and loved us even more. And even without my mother, I will still do everything to fulfill her dreams for me. But even though I no longer have a mother, my father is still there who served as mother and father to our siblings. He sacrificed himself to get away from us just to supply our needs and we could have a good future and even more so that we can be successful in life. I want to tell them that I will never get tired of loving them and making them feel how important they are in my life.

What do you wanna become in the future?

All of us who dream have something we want to reach in the future. I want to be a Fashion Designer in the future. Because I like to sew pieces of cloth that can be turned into a dress. I love making dresses. Sometimes I make my nieces and nephews wear the clothes I sew and they are happy with the way I fix and dress them. That is why I work even harder at school so that I can help my father with all the expenses for our family. We all know that finding a job is not that easy, but for me I will do everything I can for my family. That's why I focus more on all the goals I want to reach and so that I can succeed. And I will never get tired of doing all that is good for my family.

PAROKYA NI EDGAR

Parokya ni Edgar is a Philippine band formed in 1993. The band is known for its original rock novelty songs and often satirical covers of popular songs both foreign and local. The band is adept at playing in various musical genres. Parokya ni Edgar has been referred to by local media outlets and numerous award-giving bodies as "Pambansang Banda ng Pilipinas" (The National Band of the Philippines). Despite having "Edgar" in the band's name, none of the members are named Edgar. The band name's origin had been a subject of debate among fans as the band members had never given full confirmation. It was not until 2013 that Chito Miranda officially addressed it through a post on their Facebook page. The title "Parokya Ni Edgar" came from a joke a classmate named Bambi Cuna made during one of their high school classes. Sources state that the class subject was Filipino. When the teacher asked Cuna where Jose Rizal's fictional hero, Crisostomo Ibarra (in the novel Noli Me Tangere) was educated, it was said that Cuna made up a daft answer, "sa Parokya ni Edgar". Then-vocalist Jeric Estaco decided on impromptu to introduce the band as "Parokya ni Edgar" in their first live performance. From there, the band name just stuck.

The picture I chose was our picture of my family. I chose it because here I take the courage to do and I can cope with all the problems that come to us. This photo was taken when we took our dad to the airport to work abroad. This picture is very important for me because every time my father goes abroad it is very sad for our siblings but we understand our father why he has to do that. He sacrificed not to be with us for a few years in order to have a good future. He does everything he can to give us the good life he promised our mother before she died. That is why I also do all I can so that I may repay the sacrifice of my father for us. We know that it is not easy for our father to go abroad to work so even if we reprimand our father once we love him very much and we will also do everything we can to repay him for all the good he did to us our father. And one day we will be together again and will never be separated again.
