The Alphabets in My Life: A

Inspired by the Rookie's Encyclopedia of Me, I just want to share some things in my life that I associate with the letters of the alphabet. Let's start with A.
Hmm... What words can I associate with A in my life?

Here goes:
A is...
for Andria, my middle name, the name given to me during the sacrament of confirmation, as a sign of strengthening my life in faith. It means warrior.

for A ___, my Dad's name. And my brother's name. And my niece's name. And my nephew's name. Wow, a bunch of As in the family.

for the academic grades that I must get. My parents are almost perfectionist in this sense. Excellence is a must. Second best is unacceptable.

for active, the way of live that I want to live. To pursue life in such a way that I will never look back and say, I wished I had ____.

for academician, the line of profession I am currently in.

for aspirations, the things I want to achieve in my life. What I want to be and how I am to achieve it.

for achievements. What I had accomplished through the years. Being a survivor since the day I was born (even conceived), defying every odds and overcoming challenges and obstacles in life.

for aunty, because that is what I am. A proud aunt to 4 nephews and 9 nieces from age 4 to 21. Being their youngest aunt, I surely became the most hip and happening aunt who can chat about every topic under the Sun with them. Anime, cartoons, movies, the list simply goes on.

for accidental baby, because that is what I am. An unexpected addition to the family. Hehe

for asthmatic, because my asthma will flare up if I have a very bad case of flu.

for acne. Yeah, I do hate it and it is getting better now but don't you just hate those nasty zits popping up everywhere?

for book addict. I am simply addicted to reading.

So what about you? What are the A's in your life?
