Jake is a 12-yo kid who works at the Strawberry Farm in La Trinidad, PH. He goes to the farm every weekend to lend a hand and get paid. This helps him help his parents bring him to school. He will be in high school very soon. You could see his excitement when how his eyes lights up when talking about high school.
He works with a ready smile all the time. He ends his sentences with a “po” (a word in the Filipino language that expresses courtesy) always. When he felt comfortable talking to me, he shared stories of the people he met at the farm. You could say he was proud of the friendships he made. I’d like to think he was happy and proud to meet me, too.
He wants to become a teacher.
It was a short encounter but it was meaningful.
Thank you, Jake, for this wonderful chance to have a photo with you. I hope that you reach your dreams. Hope to see you again soon.
