Who I was

Who I Was

My name is Evelio Tun, age 20, presently living in Paraiso Village. I attended Paraiso Government School. Thereafter, I went to Escuela Secudaria Tecnica Mexico, I was a General Major and presently I am attending Corozal Junior College, in General Studies area with a major in Mathematics. I've past several obstacles in life such as; almost passing away when I was younger. Also when my mom went through 'coma' while I was in standard 6, it was the worst moment i ever had. The happiest moment I had was when she recovered, because its not easy seen your mom in that situation. My scarriest moment was when I had my mom in my arms while she was dieing. I didn't really know what to do since I was small. This became a life changing moment for me,because I learnt to appreciate my mother more than I did before. She has been my major influence in life, my mom always advice me to never give up on what we really want in life.
