Hi! I am Gracie Jayne O. Nolasco my grandparents call me “Tabing” or “Jenina” and I love that they made a unique nickname of my own. But I prefer my classmates to call me by my first name “Gracie”. I am 16 years old and 5’5 tall, born on September 14, 2008 which makes me a Virgo. I am that type of person that gets introverted whenever I am around new people. But as time goes by and I get comfortable with that person my extroverted personality shows up. I am that kind of person who lovesss to travel and adventure a lot, and in this Padlet you will be able to get to know more all about my hobbies and interests.

Many people thought I was American back then because of my light brown hair and fair light skin, even though I am a full blood Filipino.

Brokenshire College Toril was my school ever since I was in kindergarten. I have created special bonds with my classmates and teachers since I got to be with them up until Grade 10. This school will never lose a place in my heart since this is my first and ever school I have been to.

As what I have mentioned before, I am a type of person who LOVES to try new things, even though it might be challenging, I am up for everything, because I believe that trying out new experiences is what makes us a better version of ourselves, that is why I live by the quote YOLO “You Only Live Once”.

I have started to gain interest in crochet when I first saw my grandma do it. I took a lesson to learn about the basics of it. Then later on, I created many crochet accessories, flowers, amigurumis and keychains also. Giving these kinds of artworks as gifts to my friends is not just any artwork but it is made with love also.

I joined robotics competitions with my classmates and friends since 2023. I have joined several competitions with my friends, each of those were very memorable, I was able to create new friendships and work my critical thinking skills. Through this experience I also gained a lot knowledge and lessons, although I have joined these kinds of competitions, that does not mean I am an expert in this field already, i still lack knowledge in robotics but I am glad I am given this opportunity to join as this is an experience that i will always cherish.

Sadly we haven’t got a reward, but I am glad that we are able to experience to compete outside the country. These experience also served as a lesson for us that there are always failures in achieving success.

I am not picky when it comes t traveling, I love both roadtrips and air trips(airplane trips). I mostly prefer long trips as it gives my family and I time to bond, as another quote I live by is “ it’s the journey that matters, not the destination”.

Hiking is one of my favorite thing to do, as it is a chance for me to reconnect with nature not only that but also enjoy fresh air and have peace of mind getting all negative thoughts out of my head

If you ask me, if am I a cat lover or dog lover, well I am a…………… DOG LOVERR! I have been fond of dogs since I was a child, because I always love how dogs cuddle and kiss you whenever you need one. Well I can really say that a dog is a mans bestfriend.

Growing up, I have always been an academic achiever, although my parents never asked me to be part of the honor roll they consider being honor as a bonus of my hard work but as long as I have passing grades they are happy with it. But I always go beyond to what they expect, I guess you call that being MAGIS, so I always cherish these achievements that I have from kinder up until now because I know that this is the prize of all the hardwork that I gave.

This was the first competition that I had joined in AdDu which was the CTK indak, I wanna share this here in my padlet as this is one of the experience that had helped grow here in addu, all those unforgettable moments and practices I had with my team THE JERUSALEM CLUSTERR🦌🦌, which also helped me meet new people and this experience will always have a place in my heart.

I have been a girly who’s scared to socialize with others or strangers, I usually stick to those people who I am close with so I never had the chance to get out my comfort zone. Not till I moved to a different environment, all i see in the campus was new faces, It was all new to me, I was scared at first, I wanted to give up, but later on I realized, everything happens for a reason, and I know that the reason why I moved here in AdDU was for me to become stronger and resilient when it comes to challenges, I know that I will still have a lot more to face, but I just always remind myself that God is with me everywhere and in everything I do, he does not leave us alone, he guides us and strengthens us. So as I continue my 12th grade academic journey here in AdDU I want to be able to know more about God and also myself, as I know there are still things that I haven’t found in myself yet.

I hope you’re doing well, I hope that you are taking care of yourself especially your health because I know that as we slowly become an adult we are becoming busier and busier. And I hope that you would be able to read this in maybe next 5 years after we graduate college. I want this letter to be a reminder for us that we have gone far despite the challenges we have encountered. Right now, I am in 12th grade and it’s still 4th week of class and we already have a lot of quizzes, assignments and performance tasks. And I actually took a physics test today! Before taking the quiz I was really confident that I would do well, however, as we took the test I had a mental block because I panicked since we only had 20 minutes for the test. After the test, I was completely disappointed at myself because I think I didn’t do well. I kept on overthinking about my answers and thought I could have done better. But later on I have reflected on this, I realized that not everything goes according to what we expect or planned. If we fail, we always have another chance to try and take those experiences as a life lesson to grow as a person. So I think this is a reminder for you, my future self to never give up whenever we face challenges or failures because everything happens for a reason, and God will never leave us suffering. We can never avoid failures in our life, instead we face and accept it and take it as an opportunity to grow as we go through our life. Before I end this short diary of mine, I want to let you know that I am always proud of you no matter what path you take I hope you will enjoy your 20s and be able to achieve our dreams and goals in life.

Yours Truly,

Your past self Gracie Nolasco 💕
