EXISTENCE

"Existence wants you to be you" - OSHO

Hi, I am Henry B. Aying Jr.,21 years old. A 4th year Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering student at Cebu Institute of Technology - University. Someone said to me before that for you to know someone better, you need to start from the beginning. For you to know me better, let's take a look on how I became an aspiring engineer even though I hate math.

Born on June 26, 2000, in the year of the dragon. I am the third child of my parents and also, I am the only boy among the 8 grandchildren. My grandparents and my relatives call me the boy because of that reason. Being the only boy among the grandchild's has both positive and negative sides. The positive side is that you will get special attention from your family because you are the only boy thus, the negative side is that you will learn to play games for girls.

Since I was born people around us have always said that I get my looks from my grandfather. Thus, I didn't get my grandfather’s charm and confidence, making me an introverted person. Tj is my nickname, which is derived from Titing and Joan, which are my parent’s nicknames. As a child, I always play with my sisters or on my own. I like playing yoyo, marbles,etc. I didn't have a lot of friends that time, but my sisters are always there.

As I grow older things had changed, I learn how to communicate with other people. I became friends with different people around me. My parents enrolled me and my sisters in a public school where I learn a lot of things about life. I also meet new people that became my friends. Also at this age, I develop a new hobby which is playing computer games. At the age of 11, I became a huge fan of computer games especially the Crossfire.

At the age of 12 I graduated from elementary, this mark a new journey in my adolescence as I take a higher level of education. In high school, I meet new people that lead me to new horizons that have inspired me to become an engineer. I consider my high school journey as one of the best paths I have taken. A lot of things happen that make me grow as a person. A lot of new friends made my high school life worth remembering. Especially when I met someone that I dearly treasure till today.

I am part of the pioneering batch of the K-12 curriculum program. 2 years of preparation for the course that you would take in your college years. Senior high school is an unforgettable year of my high school life, where this is the time, I became exposed to the wonders of the city. My senior high school friends have made these years fun and unforgettable.

THIS IS WHERE MY EXISTENCE TAKES ME.

An aspiring Civil Engineer. As I have told you earlier, I am a 4th-year college student at Cebu Institute of Technology - University. I am part of the graduating batch, hoping that a red grade won't be in my presence in my report card this semester. Being a licensed Civil Engineer is my primary goal. My family and someone special to me is my strength towards getting the degree and the license I always dream of. Math, solving, etc. I hate those but I have learned to love them for me to achieve the 12k per month. Traveling, computer games and anime became my stress reliever in this very stressful course. These three things let me escape reality and make my own world.

These are only a few things that you need to know about me. To end this introductory blog, I will end this with a quote," this is where my existence has taken me, thus I know my existence will take me further."

NOTE:
I am a newbie in the HIVE community;thus, learning is my strength. I learn about the community from my sisters who is also part of the hive community, @charisse.craves. My sister introduces me to @jongcl which us the opportunity to be part of the HIVE community.
