Nurfina, an elementary school pupil, dreams of becoming a doctor someday. Fina is the daughter of a laborer father and a laundry woman mother, and she has six siblings. Her father works at a construction site away from home and sacrifices a lot to provide for his family. He sends his salary to his wife each month, though sometimes its less than needed, which is why her mother also accepts laundry work.The family lives in their own house made of bamboo and metal roofing, located near the port. Fina is described as a lovable child by her mother. Although she is the youngest, she can be relied upon to help care for her nieces and nephews from her married siblings. She also assists her mother with light chores, such as fetching water, setting the table for meals, and washing the dishes.In school, Fina is diligent and always takes time to study her lessons. Her favorite subject is Filipino. Her favorite fruits are apples, mangoes, and papayas. She enjoys playing jackstones and dancing with her peers. On weekends, she joins her mother in doing the laundry.
