Meanwhile, what was happening to Vilma the growing girl? ‘What was happening was a lot of school absences and a lot of special exams. The Sisters at St. Mary’s were very understanding: if I had too many absences, they gave me special exams. But when I was in fourth year high school I was practically not attending classes any more because that was the height of the Nora-Vilma competition.
Kinakailangan nito ang ibang klaseng tapang ng loob. Naitanong ko sa sarili ko noon: Tanggapin kaya ako ng mga manonood sa ganitong papel? Ano kaya ang sasabihin ng mga madre? Ako ay nag-aral sa St. Mary’s Academy sa ilalim ng RVM Sisters. Kay rami kong pagtatanong at pagdududa.
