Footnote to Youth, was written by Jose Garcia Villa in 1933. It's a story about marrying young and having to deal with the consequences of making life decisions at such a young age. It also demonstrates that a father's advice isn't always something you can rely on in your life. Even at an early age, if you make a decision, you must occasionally live with the consequences.
-Alexander Balaba
The story "Footnote to Youth" taught me that marriage is a significant matter. Because, aside from being a sacrament, marriage carries with it a great deal of responsibility; once you decide to marry someone, there is no going back.

"This is a simple but poignant story that compels the reader to value love and desire. Sometimes what we desire and love may not be the best thing to do. Sometimes we make decisions which are emotional and lack of proper understanding and they end up defining and shaping our whole life. This is especially true in the case of teenagers. They are youthful and full of enthusiasm, and they want to follow their every desire without thinking about it. It is a very meaningful story that delivers a big lesson for us to ponder."

" Footnote to youth is a short story which involves mainly on the lives of a youth. The story progresses and emphasizes much on the choices and decisions made in the early stages of life. The story of our protagonist dodong is likely observable in the society. The story ineslf talks about the ignorance of youth, the important phases in life and the fear of inaction.
The things learned in the story are vast as it tackles about many mutual problem in the family past trauma, anxiety, and ignorance.
For me the thing that I mainly learned is to always take a deep thought on life changing decisions things that may set you back, and things that will make you move forward always take decisions seriously and prepare for own consequences."
