Julius Caesar of Felix

Personality Sketch

Julius Caesar of Felix

He came. He saw. He conquered.

           

            “He came. He saw. He conquered.”

            In front of many expectators and many believers he stands still with dignity and pride in the soil of Earth without uplifting his own proficiency and achievements in life against the other people around him. A young boy with an old dream to see his motherland to be in progress incorporates him to some opportunities that will measure his skills in which it may give him chances to get in touch with more surprising things in the future.

            Charles Dean S. Almodovar is a Third Year student of Francisco P. Felix Memorial National High School which is one of the learners who can be considered as ‘Jacks of all trades, Master of all’. At the same time his small, tiny body with a large heart to help everyone who is in need makes him more special to the eyes of the others in spite of the limelight dominating his own stage of stardom in academic attainment.

            Almodovar’s capability to obtain all the flashing lights of breaks and chances made everyone praise him in something more than he expects to have in his hands. Blessing from God, support from his family, appraisal from his friends and proudness from his mentors make him considered as a new Julius Caesar of his own beloved school.

           

He Came.  

            Almost four years ago, he graduated with flying colors at his primary years of education at San Juan Elementary School in Cainta, Rizal. With his simple achievement in hand, he made it as his foundation to gain more as he entered the new chapter of his life – the High School.

            He came at Francisco P. Felix Memorial National High School as a normal student who wanted to learn and to experience more for his dream to be a lawyer someday. 

            As he entered the gates of JICA Annex, his round face with big eyes and nose makes his appearance more appealing to others as he hopes to stand as an active student of his class since then.

            His teachers were very surprise to see such students like him that was capable to be the next pride of his own school. Every class discussion, each raise of the Moreno’s hand for recitation can craft him to be renowned for the first day of the class. At the same time, his knowledge makes him more comprehensive to score a highest grade for his first year in school.

            It may be quite surprising, that a child that looks like to be a ‘patay na bata’ can be permissibly considered as ‘Bibo Kid’ of the pilot section. However, his being Bibo Kid made him to be treated by the others as persona non grata of the class.

            “Maski gusto ko man sumama at makihalubilo sa kanilang lahat, mahirap kasi iba yung tingin nila sa akin. Bibo kid daw ako, GC [Grade Concious], teacher’s pet. Pero ayos lang sa akin yun.” Charles said in his sad tone of expression.

            Despite of the ratings he received from his classmates or even schoolmates, he still continued to study together with the person he knows to be loyal and trusted in the section he belonged to, persons who can be considered as his friend, companion and comrade.

He Saw.  

            As time passed by to him as student, he persists to attain more achievement he can have in his hands for the development of him as an individual.

            Since then, he recorded to be one of the top three students of the pilot section of each batch he always to be with. Every quarter since first year up to now in third year, he is always been an expected name to be given a medal for the top students of his batch. All the teachers see Charles, as a very industrious and wise student in class in which he is not forgetting the golden rule: TO RESPECT TEACHERS AT ALL TIMES.

            “Ay grabe si Charles, halos pinag-aagawan na siya ng lahat ng teachers para sumali sa contest,” a teacher from FPFMNHS said in expressing his proud feelings to Almodovar.

            Also, Almodovar, 17 years old, was one of the loyal staffers of the ‘Ang Maglalatik’ since first year. Since then, he was always intended to be a participant for Division School Press Conference in which he brought the name of his school for the category of ‘Pagsulat ng Editoryal” that he has been an awarded campus journalist of Rizal.  That’s why, he was also been considered as a ‘Presscon Baby’ and one of the trusted buddies in creating a newspaper.

            In addition, he can be seen to many Quiz Bees and Competitions such as for Araling Panlipunan quiz bee, Mathalino Challenge, Oratorical Speech and other more inside or outside the school premises in which he is always the one who can bring the bacon for his batch or for his school. One of the most special Quiz bees he joined was the Philippine History Quiz Bee where he finally rode in an airplane for the first time going to Ilo-ilo Province to represent the whole Region IV-A CALABARZON, but sadly saying, he did not grab the bacon for his region.

            Meanwhile, his leadership cannot be downgraded because of his much systematized way as an officer of different organizations. His influensive and prominent voice that can move people into action is one of his fundamentals to gain the trust of all the people and teachers to his works which can be said as successful one that can be proved by everyone who is being constituent of him.

He Conquered.  

            Now, he is turning to be fourth year, he is now already conquering the school as one of the pride of Felix especially as he has been part of many competition, organization and affiliation since then.

            This coming school year, Almodovar’s proximity to all the students come more to its extent as he won the Supreme Student Government Presidential Seat by the trust from his co-students in the school. That way, he is already the champion of his own batch.

            Meanwhile, he is one of the representatives of the Philippines to go in Malaysia for such convention and seminar. And it is very prideful for everyone who really knows him so much and for the FPFMNHS Community that a simple boy then is now achieving higher degree of opportunities.

            “Naniniwala ako sa sinabi ni Kuya Alfonz (former SSG President S.Y. 2012-2013) na wala pa dito ang tunay na kompetisyon, nasa college,” Almodovar mentioned his new principle in his life.

            In believing that high school life is just a training ground for more opportunities to come for him, he is proving that his maturity towards things and life’s scenarios are just a preparation for the real challenge he may encounter in the near future, challenges that he may conquer afterwards.

            Yes, ‘he conquered’ is not yet to be considered for him right now because he is not yet graduated from the school, but still, many people is always believing that he can be considered as one of the greatest student of his school, someone that can be reflected as a pride of the new Felix and someone that can be prefer as a hero for everyone who knows him so much.
