My name is Pauleen Gail G. Fulgar, a grade 11 student at Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School. My section is 11-Lalemant. I prefer she/her pronouns and you all can call me Pau! I'm 17 years old and turning 18 next year on May 8th, 2024.

This is a collage to show more sides of myself than I have shown at school. Let's find out!

I came all the way from Cotabato City. I used to study at Cotabato City Institute Incorporated, I studied there from kindergarten all the way to tenth grade!

These people are my second family and they have truly shown me how friends can love in so many different ways! I'm the second oldest out of all of us but also kind of babied by them. They have my full trust and I love them to bits, I miss them a lot too!

Currently, I am now a student at Ateneo and I am so pleased to find a third family! They have also showed me that there is nothing to be afraid of in this school and to just show yourself as who you are without feeling the need to hide your flaws or imperfections. I really hope to know more about them and to finally be comfortable in this new environment.

I am part Chinese from my father's side and we even do a lot of the traditions and events that the Chinese do! My old school is a Chinese school and we celebrate Chinese New Years, we celebrate traditional dances and have fireworks at night at the City Hall!

But my favorite part about all these events is getting angpao! Haha!

Angpao is a red envelope in which your relatives put money inside!

Back at my old school, I was a volleyball club member and we even participated in the district meets and city meets! This sport helps me stay physically active and also interact with other people!

Now, I am also still a part of the volleyball club, just at a different school! I love to stay in touch with my hobbies or favorite things to do even when I am in a different environment from where I was always used to or familiar with.

I also wanted to include this big guy because he was a big part of my life- he still is! His name is storm and he helped me go through so many difficult and low points in my life, especially during the pandemic.

He has helped me recover, he listened to me, my rants, and even my ugly crying. He was always by my side whether I was happy or not and made me feel like he understood even though he was a dog. Now though, he has sadly passed away and he has truly taken a big part of me with him. He made me realize that even just your presence can bring someone's mood up and I try to do that for other people as well!

These media platforms are not all of which I spend most of my time on, but these are usually what I open on my phone. With Netflix, I love to watch series and indulge myself with fiction movies/series, like Anime, Marvel, Disney, and so much more. I also love watching K-Dramas or Drama shows that involve talking about emotions and romance. Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok is my go-to when watching reels or short videos, they are so time consuming because you can't notice the time when you are watching reels but they are so entertaining and they keep me from boredom! Spotify on the other hand, well, I literally can't live without music. I study with music, I travel with music, I do chores while listening to music and even go to school and back home while listening to music!

I like these media because they keep me entertained but also I learn a lot of new facts especially in Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix! In the first two apps there are a lot of articles that would come by while you scroll through your screen that are interesting and factual! Always make sure that you are reading from a reliable source though! In Netflix there are a lot of documentaries that I have watched and learned about, mostly crime documentaries and animal documentaries! These media help me with socializing with people on the internet and share about things we mutually like!

These media influence me to become a better person, because aside from learning facts and new things, I also learn about a persons behavior and attitude and what they mean and this has actually helped me realize if what I subconsciously do or things I am used to doing are right or wrong. Such posts make me realize that doing some things like, not helping other people get up on jeepneys, not helping people pick up things that they dropped, not smiling at people, does not have a pretty good effect on others and even to yourself because you are not able to spread your happiness or love to those around you! This affected my lifestyle, aspirations, attitudes, and behavior in a good way because these media platforms let me learn a lot of things about how we should treat those around us, even if we don't know them. These media changed and shaped me to become a more responsible digital citizen and even as a person in the real world, in real situations. Though these media also affects me in a bad way because they keep me from doing my school stuff because I get distracted so easily by them! A way or a plan to change this is to lessen my time on the internet and try to focus more on school activities rather than procrastinate.
