In this developmental stage, I was described as a very active, sassy, and talkative little kiddo. All I could recall from this time of my life was frequently playing games with my relatives at the beach. Also, whenever I was put into a playhouse, I never failed to meet new friends whom I no longer remember now (haha).

In this stage,  I recall being able to fully read and write by the age of five years old. Also, I continued to be a very sociable kid and a bit of a trouble-maker. The activities I liked to do was to meet new people, dance, have fun, and read books, particularly Dork Diaries.

In this photo, I was 11 years old and a member of the ADDU Grade School Volleyball Girls varsity. I had moved from Cebu to Davao and discovered my love for the sport. Here, my athletic potential was awakened and I set on a journey to learning so many life lessons through the sport and meeting new people.

During adolescence, I had many experiences that truly shaped my character. This included suffering a major Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear (ACL) to the left knee, causing me to stop playing volleyball and be redirected to student-leadership. In Grades 11 and 12, I served as the Grade Level Representative. Here, I was happier than ever before because serving the community gave my life a greater purpose. It's the thought that everything I do makes a positive change for the community that keeps my motivation going. In the next stages of my life, I'm looking forward to becoming a doctor, which is the most meaningful and fulfilling profession known to man.
