A
course requirement ordered by Mr. Felix Cabahug for our Communication, Society
and Development Class is an audio-visual presentation (AVP). Our group is
tasked to feature the consequences of becoming a family under a quick-changing
society and of how to make communication healthy for a family.
For this task, I decided to interview a
teenager mother so as to clearly show how hard for a youth like us to build a
family under the constraint of the society.
On my search for an informant, I found
a new neighbor of ours in Valenzuela. She is Nenette Padoc, 17, the second wife
of Robin Butardo, a childhood friend of mine.
Nenette gave birth recently and now
her baby is still an infant. In an early age, it has been a challenge for her
to rear a child.
When I asked her to compare her life
then that she has no burden and now that she has a husband and a child, she
told me that it is entirely different. She missed her friends and princess-type
of living she has before.
She had passed through a lot of
struggles, one of which is on the 9 months of carrying the baby and the
criticisms she has gained from the society. But all of this was faded away every
time she sees her baby that serves as her strength and the reason for keeping on
track.
She also shared to me her plans for
her child. She plans to work to help her spouse. She promises that she would
not let her child to have the destiny she has been.
She confessed that she has a lot of
regrets. But however the words she hears from others, she kept herself strong
for her child.
This lady is just an equal age of
mine. But I confessed that she had her thoughts more deeply than I, her
thinking is inappropriate for her age.
I hope for the betterment of her and
her child. And as she goes on with the life being a mother and wife, may her
life prosper and may God let her see the things He prepares for her.
