The stories I love to tell most, are those about the lives of great men and women, achievers like the one I will tell you:
Born under the sign of Virgo, the zodiac sign of the virgins, this lady is hard to keep in low plane of life,as with her active, aspiring nature, she is constantly coming to the surface in her earnest endeavors to live superior to the common level of humanity.
She was born in September, the month when the leaves start to fall, as this is the advent autumn, and it was three days before the birthday anniversary of Mama Mary when she first saw the light, in the year when the rock 'n roll dance craze was as hot as the high noon in the ballroom.
She first entered school in 1962, and finished Grade Six with flying colors, garnering the First Honors. She graduated from high school as Third Honorable Mention. She studied Bachelor of Science in Education at the West Visayas State College, major in Elementary Education, with concentration in Mathematics.
In 1996, she earned the degree of Master of Arts in Education. She was already the Head Teacher III of Dapdap Elementary School then. As it is said that "Once a teacher, always a student", her quest for knowledge did not end in being a Master of Arts in Education. Refusing to wean herself from student life, she went on quenching her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and so, the lady is now a Doctor of Education; too high to be reached in her ivory tower, looking down from her window, waiting for her knight in shining armor to pass by or shall remain in her single blessedness, or, rather, blessed singleness status.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the fragment of the life story of my friend, Dr. Ernina Tayag, whom I fondly call, Nenang.
