Interview with the elder. I have had an incredible opportunity; this great opportunity was meeting and forming a bond with Mrs. Evangeline Baviera. (Vangie for short) While meeting with Mrs. Evangeline, I have learned a lot about her. I have learned that she is a phenomenal role model, a loving mother and a former wife. I am pleased to share the story of the remarkable, unforgettable Evangeline Baviera. On Nov. 25, 1932, the world was graced with the appearance of Evangeline Villa, born to Eva Aquino and Joe Villa. Born in Bauan, Batangas, there was not much to do.
So, as a child, she spent her free time doing chores and helping her mother around the house. It was her duty to sell vegetables and attend to the chickens. Growing up, Evangeline’s family was very religious and she spent almost a part of every day in church. As a teenager, Vangie attended and graduated from high school. While in high school, Vangie was so playful. She also loved to dance; some days she would dance all the way to school and back. During the 1940s, vangie left Batangas and moved to Manila to keep her friend’s mother company. While living in Manila, Vangie met Ruben Baviera.
On June 1, 1948, Evangeline Villa became Evangeline Baviera. They was wed in Sariaya Church; they were so in love and simply did not want to wait any longer. Together, they had four children: Brenda, Marco, Eva and Dave. After 52 years of marriage, Ruben Baviera, her faithful husband passed away from Diabetes. Vangie served in many capacities: president of the usher board for 15 years, a teacher to a Sunday school. Presently, Evangeline Baviera is a faithful member of the senior citizen. On a day-to-day basis, she enjoys spending time at their house with her grandchildren and sometimes just watching TV.
The Essay on Changing a Five Day School Week to a Four Day School Week
Changing a five day week to a five day week to a four day week (For schools) Why is our traditional five day week changing to a four day week? Any reason?

The customary five day school week should stay without any alterations. There ...
While she was at the early senior year or at the age 60, she gladly serves lunches to the other seniors, teaches a diabetes class and is in charge of a Sit and Be Fit class for co-elders for inspiration. Mrs. Baviera has had many exciting adventures during her lifetime. She has traveled many Philippine places like cebu, baguio, Iloilo etc. She is such a great role model because she doesn’t let her diabetes stop her from living her life like it’s golden. She is also a role model she keeps herself up. Evangeline Baviera is well-groomed even she has a diabetes. Evangeline Baviera has taught me many life lessons.
She has taught me about forgiveness and respect. She has taught me that when opportunity awaits, you should go forth and take it. Vangie has also taught me that life can’t get any better than what it is because God’s always there for you and has been good to you thus far. Vangie’s words have fallen on my open ears and she has made an indelible impression on my life. I am honored to have had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Evangeline Baviera. To her, I must say “thank you” for informing me about her life and for inspiring and influencing mine. What Evangeline has given me is a priceless gift that I can never repay.
I feel that this interview has been quite educational. Not only has it brought me closer to my interviewee, but it helped me realize how much the world changes, both technically and in a fashion/lifestyle way. This project gives individuals a better understanding on life and the value of our elders. It also helps me realize how hard people worked so that we can have the life that we do today. I know now what life is going to be like when I am older and I hope I will have the same opportunity and be able to be interviewed on my life when I am a senior citizen.
