More insights about our beloved TD kids

To end the home visit, we visited the last residence. Near St. Mary’s, just around the corner of the street, is the Tan residence where John Kevin or simply Jeck lived. When we got there, his grandmother selling products in their sari-sari store welcomed us in the house. We were surprised when we saw a big Sony TV, soundsystem and many other pieces of fine furniture around the small space in their living room. There were two bedrooms, one, with a double-decker bed, and the other, for Jeck’s kuya. The kitchen was spacious enough, located at the rear end of the house. Apparently, Jeck’s dad works in Japan, so that explains why they have a new model of Nokia brand cell phone in the house. His grandmother brought us drinks from her store and then we talked about Jeck’s progress. We learned that he topped a lot of English tests in the past and his grandmother even showed us a plaque on the wall honoring Jeck’s past success in school. His grandmother told us how hard it is for Jeck’s dad to live and work in Japan as a driver. He earned enough Japanese Yen to sustain the family back here in the Philippines. As we talked, his grandmother expressed that she never had any problem about Jeck’s study habits. First thing he does is to review his lessons. He never even gets the temptation to watch TV right in front of him when he studies. We were very proud to tell his grandmother that we hoped that Jeck continue his study habits. We hoped that the family continues to support Jeck eventually until he reaches High school.
