The Man Behind My Smile

      He was just a simple man with big dreams. He was just a simple man after all, with a fair skin, pointed nose and brown eyes. He would do anything for us, even the silliest one.He was a feeder of ravens in every problem he encounter. He always makes me happy. When he smiles, my day was complete, I am fulfilled. He was just a simple man. He was my father.

     Born on May 31, 1968 in Naic, Cavite, Ariel Enguancho Bustamante was the oldest son of Florante Barrera Bustamante and Elisa Enguancho Bustamante. Being the first child, he was the one who helped his father doing field works and even fishing. He studied at Labac Elementary School as a Grade School student and studied at Cavite College of Fisheries or now known as Cavite State University Naic Campus as a High School student. My father was really fond of studying History back in those days and even after now. Unfortunately, my father, Ariel wasn't able to study as a college student due to lack of financial needs. My father  worked as a driver to support his family and as early as nineteen, he work as an OFW.

     After eleven years of being an OFW, my father began writing a letter for a woman who live in Batangas. A year later, they become married and I was born on April 9, 2000. My father continue working an OFW. After three years, another milk guzzler was born named Mitzie Arabella. And on May 8, 2008, another sibling of mine was born

     In spite of different problems that my father have encountered, he always remained strong. Although he was just a normal man and father like any other else, he will always be the best father to me, the man whom I can lean on, a friend whom I can talk and laugh with, and a parent whom I can tell my worst problems and the best moment of my life.

     My father was just a simple man with big dreams,and he's one of the reason why I smile in everyday of my life.
