CALIXTA CERRADO BLANCA

Simple, loving, caring, patient, industrious, beautiful and everything! Yes, that's Calixta Cerrado Blanca, my mother, simple but not perfect at all.

Calixta Cerrado Blanca was born on October 13, 1963 (50 years old right now) at Amaya 3, Tanza, Cavite. She's the youngest daughter of Eugenio Quijano Blanca and Paulina Enriquez Cerrado. She's the youngest or the 6th sibling in their family, but one of the most intelligent among them. She has 5 siblings, 1 girl and 4 boys, Emilliana, Leonardo (deceased), Nicasio, Edilberto and Leopoldo. She's the youngest among them as I said earlier.

Calixta or Calyx studied at Amaya Elementary School, where I study too. She graduated as 1st honorable mention there and she gained many academic awards. Then she studied at Tanza National Comprehensive High School where she graduated as Salutatorian. Afterwards, she had her highest step, College. She studied at San Sebastian College, Cavite City with the course of BS Accountancy. Although they're only in the middle class of life, she was able to succeed and reached her highest step. She's now an alumni of San Sebastian.

Next to graduation, she take her board examination where she was able to pass and to have her profession. She believed that

Education is your weapon to succeed

Meanwhile, when she passed to her license/board examination for bean counter, she used it so she can help her parents. She loved her profession ,yet a sudden problem came. After 2 years, the company she was working cannot handle their needs so the company really needs to close. However, she's thinking of something on what if she will try to be a domestic helper? Eventually, she tried to apply to different agencies until she found her boss-to-be while she's a hot potato that time.

She's not wrong on her decision. She worked as a domestic helper with respect from the family she was working for. Although she's not experiencing any pain, she's always tired. She surpassed all of these challenges within 10 years of working in Singapore. When she came back here, she's already pregnant and she's now with my father. She carried that child in 9 months. A very cute baby boy arrived after those several months of pain and tragic. She almost die because of that child because of too much time of the child in her womb before the child was released into caesarian section because she can't resist. And that very cute child was me. She sacrificed for me. She gave her whole life for me so we can both survive. And thanks God, we both survived.
Until now, she's doing those heroic aspects as a mother to take care of me, a mother that will fight for me, a mother that will hug me through the pain and happiness, a mother that will cry for me because of my bad acts and everything that a mother does for her child, just to fulfill her child's needs, even in material things and love.
No one can yelp to my mother's heroic deeds for me and for my family like my father. She also wanted the best education and future for me so that's why I'm studying here. I know that mom knows best. That's why I love her. as my mother, as my hero.
