Childhood Years in Calamba

   One interesting anecdote about Rizal was the incident about his clay and wax images. One day when he was about six years old his sisters laughed at him for spending so much time making those images rather than participating in their games. He kept silent as they laughed with childish glee. But as they were departing, he told them: "All right laugh at me now! Someday when I die, people will make monuments and images of me!"

...and so we did. Rizal was right; at the age of six, he became prophetic. This scene made us realized that, as long as we believe in ourselves, nothing is impossible.
