How my love in photography started?

I started my love in photography way back in high school, I always love to shoot my family, and when I already have a budget I bought a point and shoot camera that was always place in my pocket.  All of my children have lot of pictures that's why files of albums were stacks in our salas and in my cabinet.  And now some of my kids were grown-up, they just get it and I saw some smiles in their faces looking at those memories.  I decided to buy my own DSLR when I'm about to retire in my work.  Enrolled and studied the basic of photography, attended some workshop to enhanced my ability in shooting people.  As always, my 1st models were my kids...then my co-workers.  Upon my retirement, I have to apprentice in some wedding events, it's really exhausting job or work as you can say, but my passion kept me going to try it.  Thanks to my classmate in photography, Jeng for giving me the chance to work with him and really learned a lot from him.  And that day came when someone asked for my service for a kid's birthday party.  I'm hesitant at first to accept it, can I do this...am I ready enough to handle the situation?  But I can't answer that big question if I will not grab the opportunity...I have to do this.  And the rest is history...I will post my first event way back 2013 and I knew that there's really need for an improvement on the way I photograph event...and in photography you have to shoot and shoot to improve and advance from where I am now...
