Where am I? - A question I asked to myself when I first saw this photograph taken 27 years ago. It took me a minute to recognize myself and then finally there I was, a 13 year-old innocent boy with a smile of courage, hope, perseverance and ambition.
This photograph was taken year 1983 in Tagkawayan Central Elementary School, Province of Quezon. An 8-10 hours ride from the Capital of the Philippines, MANILA. These young faces were the Grade VI Section 2 students of our beloved Classroom Teacher Mrs. Soneja. The photograph reminds me of the good old days during our time in elementary. The fun, the laughter, the friendship and the memory of being young. Looking at our young smiling faces, I thought of how good could it be if we are young again. An easy life without commitments, responsibilities and worries. But definitely it is not possible. It is good to visit our childhood days but we cannot live there. It exist, but only in our memory. It could be our guidepost. Life should move on.
As Deepak Chopra quoted: " There is always one moment in childhood, when the door opens and let the future in..."
