BRIGETA, 28 YEARS

I am Brigeta U. Letera, 28 years old from the Philippines. I am a very honest, humble, hard-working and independent person. As the eldest of my five siblings, I entered my first job at the age of sixteen years old as an attendant in a computer shop. At a very young age, I always think about how I can help my family. I have one brother and 4 sister, I also have 3 neice who call me 'Tita'. They age 1-3 years old now. I also give them financial support to buy diaper and other baby clothes. My father is a farmer of a small farm but we only rent a land and my mother is a laundry woman. Because of this, I learn how to be independent and support myself in entering university while working. I graduated from Mindanao State University-Main Campus, and I am a graduate of Bachelor of Business Administration major in Entrepreneurial Marketing. After I graduated, I travel miles away here in from my family to find a job. I worked for 3 years as an Accounting Staff here in the Philippines (Mandaluyong City). I am also part of music ministry in a church but I am not active now because my church is in Mindanao and I am now in Luzon now. I experienced to be a teacher of many kids during a summer camp. Even though I am not a church goer now, I still remember how to be kind and honest.
