Lolita Olan Johnstone was born in the city of Pasig - municipality of Metro Manila, in the country of the Philippines. At 4 years old, she was adopted and for fifteen years - she endured an abusive household, and was deprived from enjoying her childhood and teenage years. Her father died of lung cancer when she was 20. Her mother is now ninety four years of age, and lives in the Philippines. Lolita went to G. B. Lontok Elementary school from grade one to six. Growing up, she dreamed of becoming a nurse and migrating to the US. She has grown to be very shy and insecure, but her teachers had recognized her strong talent in Academics, English and Mathematics – where she has represented her school for spelling and mathematical competition, and won second in the National Division. Lolita graduated high school at The Mabini Academy, and attended a year of Midwifery course at The Villa Memorial Hospital. She married at 19, and had three children at 21 – two sons and a daughter. At 24, she became a single mother, who was determined to raise her children and give them a better life. At 27, Lolita left her children and migrated to the US in February 1992 – her children were 6, 5, and 4 years of age at the time. Shortly before leaving the Philippines, she managed to find her birth mother, older sister, and older brother – she has not met her father and her two siblings.

Due to her situation with the immigration, Lolita was not able to go back home. At age 35, she remarried and petitioned her children. In September 2002, her oldest son arrived, and in April 2003, her second son and daughter both arrived. Lolita could not been more proud of her self – after 10 years, she has finally rejoined with her children. Sadly, in September 2007, Lolita was diagnosed with stage 111-nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In 2008, she has survived the disease by going through daily doses of radiation for five weeks, four doses of chemo, and a radical neck surgery. In March 2011, she began experiencing speech impediment, and has it since. Doctors diagnosed her condition to be “radiation induced fibrosis.”

Though, Lolita has had her license as a Real Estate Agent since 2006 – she has also managed to work in the Accounting field from 1994 – 2010. Prior to Accounting and Real Estate, she worked as a caregiver, a nurses’ aide, and administrative assistant from 1992 – 1994.
