Introduction:
This is about the story of the Pasco Family, especially the family of Pedro Jorolan Pasco. Originally the Pasco Family comes from the island of Siquijor. There were 10 brothers and two sisters. Since the way of living in Siquijor was not that good. Economically, it was not that easy to maintain their livelihood. Thus, they migrated to Bohol, Mindanao, and some even to Luzon.
I. Pasco Family Background
A. Dad’s Background
My father, Dale, was born in Mountain View College, while my grandpa and grandma were there. The reason why my father is called Dale was because he was born in laundry valley, part of the school campus. “Dale” means valley.
His lineage comes from Mindanao, particularly in Lake Apo, Ginuyoran, Bukidnon.

Pasco is the 6th child out of 10 children. His mother, Fausta Jorolan, gave birth to fifteen children, but only ten survived and became adults. My grandfather, Pedro, was a hardworking student. He worked in the Abaca Department making abaca fibers. Mountain View College had a program, work education, in which the student earned his education from work credits. The number of hours worked had a corresponding money value which was used to pay the tuition fee of the student. He finished his ACS, Associate in Commerce Services, sometime in the early 1960s. Since he wanted to get a degree in Bachelor of Science in Commerce, he went to Ozamis City, at Misamis University where the course was offered and he graduated …show more content…
She was unable to finance the tuition. Medical school tuition fee is expensive. An ordinary schoolteacher treasurer and school matron would not be able to provide finances for someone in a medical school. But my dad was determined and persistent. Grandma gave him a chance to study for one year.
In June 1980 my dad went to Cebu from Mountain View College to proceed to medicine and enrolled at SWU MHAM College of Medicine.
He studied very hard knowing that his parents could not afford to send him to school the following year. He was very diligent, studying regularly everyday, reading a bible verse before opening his huge textbooks, except Friday night until Saturday night. He studied for six days a week. During the finals in first year medicine he was exempted in 5 subjects something that he did not accomplished before.
Summer came after finishing first medicine; he passed all of his subjects. He went to take a vacation in Manila with his cousins since his parents are out of the country. While there, he was kind of sad since there was no word from his parents that he would be able to enroll in second year medicine.- Me

In Conclusion, Alejandro's story, though very sad is a very common one, and until we can have more schools and more teachers to help disadvantaged students like Alejandro will continue to fall through the cracks of our nations educational system. But in all honesty, one of his parents dreams did come true, Alejandro was better off than his parents. He could read enough to do well in everyday life, and would not have to have relatives come with him to the bank to read the statements for him. I think Alejandro attained a lot more than anyone expected with all the limitations he began with.

it is unmistakable that life situations inspired Juan Rulfo to write this story. He like no other person had a greater understanding of how to portray the theme of family especially missing a father as a role model, death, survival and revenge. Moreover, through the use of local Mexican language it furthermore developed the society in which peasants had to live during the post-revolution. Additionally Juan Rulfo tries to add all five senses in the story forming magical realism and a vivid picture that the readers can understand. Overall, the readers learn a lot about peasant’s approach to life after revolution that the main drive was

He did not have kids of his own at the time so he tried to involve me and my brothers with as much things as possible. To me, his accomplishments and awards he has received for helping the community gave me motive to also become successful in a foreign country and give back. I have always wanted to feel that sense of reward after doing something good which is why I have decided to major in Nursing. After many community presentations about his background, job description, and collaborations with the community, my uncle really engraved how important education is and the advantages it brings. For instance, I really connected to Gina Rodriguez in the article from
Family is one of those words that have a significant meaning to various individuals. Family may be viewed one way to an individual and another way to someone else. Family consists of those who have played a particular role in one’s life, whether it is positive or negative. In this paper, I will assess Reymundo’s family both nuclear and extended and speak of how his family has become significant in his life and how they have played a role in his decisions. I will also speak of my personal reactions to the story as well as address ways that as a social worker I could work to impact the gang problems in Orlando.
Within the works of “Fiesta, 1980” it takes us in the lives of a Latin American family. We are described a traditional style Latino family were there is a dominate father figure, a submissive mother, and obedient children more or less. There are two boys the eldest Rafa and the youngest Yunior and their younger sister Madai. During the transgression of the story it is conveyed through the eyes of Yunior. And like any typical family it has its own story to tell.
When I found out, I talked to him about it and he was telling me that he was homesick and could not focus on his school as much. He was so out of focus with his school that his grades were going down as well and had to drop his classes from failing them and getting a bad gpa. This makes me realize that fact that “many kids who get good grades in high school end up failing college” is true from a first hand experience. I have a strong feeling that his lack of focus on school had interfered with his willpower to jump over that hurdle of getting over being

In the year of 1984, when I was born, my family lived in Reading, Pennsylvania. Reading was not an area known for its good economic reputation. Most of the people in the area could be considered lower-income, middle class individuals. Our community was composed mostly of factory workers and small business owners. My father was self-employed at the time, for he owned a retail establishment. In our neighborhood, we may have been one of the families that earned the most money per year. We lived in a duplex, but even then, we were still considered upper-middle class. My mother was working nights as a medical technologist, and this was all so she could stay at home with me during the day. My father never completed his college career, but my mother did. She needed that degree to pursue her career in the medical field, and to have the potential to earn more pay.
It was in 2010, when I was still in Vietnam, and coming up was a very hard Transitional Exam from Secondary School to High School, which included a three-part exam: Math, English, and Literature, that all ninth graders, including myself, were very frustrated about. It was the key to open the door to a student’s dream. Because the better the high school you got into, the better education you would get, and the better preparation you would have to increase your chance to get into a great college. For that reason, every student needed to study for the exam with their best efforts.
