My parents’ love story began in the public market where both of my grandmothers owned small stores. Because their stores were close to each other, my mother and father often saw one another while helping their families at the market. As time went by, they started talking and getting to know each other better. Eventually, their friendship grew into love, and they became a couple.

I am King Mario E. Nool. I was born on August 21, 2006, in Sta. Rosa, Aurora, Isabela, and I am currently living in San Jose, Aurora, Isabela. Growing up, I experienced many happy memories with my family, especially our bonding moments at resorts and swimming pools.

I started my education at Aurora Central School, where I finished my elementary education. During those years, my mother worked abroad as an OFW to support our family and provide us with a better future. I always tried my best and enjoyed learning with my classmates and friends.

When I entered high school, I met many true friends who became part of my life. High school was full of laughter, fun memories, and new experiences. During Grade 8, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, and life became difficult for everyone, but I continued studying and worked hard to finish my studies.

After the pandemic, face-to-face classes returned, and I was happy to experience normal school life again. I graduated from junior high school with honors, which made me proud of myself and thankful to my parents. On February 8, 2024, my crush became my first girlfriend, and until now, she remains the person I truly love and cherish.

Senior high school became one of the most memorable chapters of my life. I experienced achievements, challenges, lessons, and my first airplane trip to Boracay with my family. That trip became one of the happiest moments of my life because we were complete as a family.

After graduating from senior high school with honors, I chose to apply at Isabela State University – Cauayan Campus. Thankfully, I passed and officially became a college student.

Now that I am already in my second year of college, I have experienced many struggles, adjustments, and challenges. College life is not easy, but it continues to make me stronger and more mature. As I continue my studies, I hope to finish my education successfully, achieve my dreams, and give back to my parents.
