Insights:
Dr. Rizal spent his childhood being a happy kid, experienced love and care from his parents and
siblings. He has been an excellent student ever since his mother taught him. I can say that he spent his
childhood like what everyone dreamed of – being loved, enjoy life and being an intelligent kid. His
childhood memories were to cherished forever.
