Fire Dance Practices!!

This March 11, 2011, we, the C.S.E.P. Scholars of Assumption Socio- Educational Center Barrio Obrero (ASEC), will welcome the French Sponsors during our cultural night at this date and the program includes the different dances of the Philippines performed by the C.S.E.P. scholars from first year high school to fourth year college. And for us, second year, we will dance the fire dance so every afternoon from the class and every Saturday and Sunday we are practicing for the fire dance and it was so tiring, imagine now also that we are practicing for the field demo here in Assumption- Iloilo and then when I go home I just change my clothes and then proceed again to ASEC for the fire dance practice and we usually end at 8:00 p.m. so, what if there are still assignments, mastery tests and quizzes for the next day.!!! OH!!!!! I just imagined how I can manage my time!! You will probably think why do I practice fire dance, right? And if there’s nothing in return? If you thought of that then now you will know. So here it goes, I studied in ASEC since my pre-school and grade school life and graduated there but if I am not a C.S.E.P. scholar there, by the way with me are Louise Evasco and Blessa Chiquito, I couldn’t study there because we can’t afford also the tuition there but good thing that I am a scholar there so, my French sponsor pays half from my tuition and she sends me extra money sometimes especially during Christmas and of course letters, by the way her name was Roselyne Macario. I am thankful that she is there to support me from my studies and so when she died last year November, I wept because she contributed a lot in my studies because if she is not supporting me since I am in grade school, I could not study here also in Assumption- Iloilo as a scholar again and pays only for the miscellaneous so, I wondered when she is not sending me any letter anymore before she died only that I knew she already died and fortunately, her daughter accepted her commitment to me in giving me allowance every month. So, I was also thankful to her also. So that’s the story why I am practicing for Fired Dance.
