Hello, Steemians!
There were so many moment that I was placed in a very embarrassing moment in my life and there was only one that melted me . But I just picked a lesson and learned from it.
When I graduated my elementary grade , I passed the scholarship examination at the moment of our graduation. It was done in front of the visitors and our parent. It was an oral examination while we were still wearing our graduation day white dresses. I got perfect answers and the second placer was my cousin. I was proud to myself but my mother didn't want me to go to high school instead she wanted to send me to his brother for work. But I passed the scholarship exam. It covered my 4 years payment in high school with monthly allowance.
Because of the excitement, I was falling from the stage to the ground.My panty has a hole and it was shown in public. I already had my monthly period since grade 4. It was one of the embarrassing moment happened to me But so proud passing the examination.
I supposed to work and stop schooling in high school but I grabbed the scholarship. Before the class opening , I worked during the two months summer vacation so I could give money to my parent to buy school needs of my siblings. Its not easy to find no eye in the mountain . We have farmland for our foods but for school, it was so hard. 1982, my salary was 10 dollars only but it made senses of happiness .
I worked to a rich family. I was 13 years old. The man was a Mayor and the wife was a pharmacist. They had 1 daughter and taking care of the 2 years old daughter was my job. They had business. Whenever they go, I was there together . I went Cagayan, Cebu and many high classic resort.
One day, we attended a wedding party . It was held in a prestigious hotel in a farmland of Tagbilaran City. I was so shy and I couldn't imagine to be with all those rich people around . I could not say no because it was my work taking care of their only daughter. When we ate, my boss told me not to eat the first serving which was the soup. They taught me how to open the covered fork and spoon with the white handkerchiefl.
Foods were being served and the most embarrassing action that I made when I ate the bread and I put first the bread into the glass full of pepsi cola and ate it . My boss told me not to do it in public. They told me, there were a lot of delicious foods, why I ate the bread and the way I ate was a big wrong. I washed the bread or dipped the bread into the glass of my pepsi drinks. They told me to observed the right manner and ethiquet. Oh my God , that was the embarrassing moment iny life. I picked a lesson and never do it again .
I'm grateful to remember today that during my younger years, I experienced attending a wedding of a rich people. It never happen again until now.
