Did you know?

The hottest planet in our solar system is Venus? Though it is not only because it is the second planet from the sun, but mainly because of its very thick atmosphere that traps heat creating a runaway greenhouse effect-making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. How cool is that!

Hi! I’m Venus Rean L. Baintin, 17 years old, from Grade 12 Collins of Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School, a humble woman whose intrusive thought is world domination. I mean I could, considering that I have already watched a lot of sci-fi movies and stuff... Just kidding hehe.

Anyways, I was born on March 26, 2008. My dad is a strong and tough policeman, and my mom is a kind and passionate teacher. Over the past 17 years, they’ve successfully raised three healthy and beautiful baby girls—I'm the eldest, the OG, and the other two are basically exact copies of me (like for real!). The only difference between us is our age and how much better-fed they are now compared to how I was back then. :/

We live in Cateel, Davao Oriental, a humble town facing the Pacific Ocean. It’s very peaceful there, unlike Davao City, which is loud, hot, and has heavy air. In my hometown, the sound of the creek, the breeze from the trees surrounding our house, and the sunrise spreading beautiful colors over the rice fields in front of us all make it feel like a sweet haven.

In Cateel, I have my own car, which I drive to school, and I manage a small business that provides a good income. I also have built a strong legacy at my school. But despite how beautiful home was, I wanted to try something new, experience more, and learn.

And so, here I am, studying at the most prestigious school in Mindanao—my dream school. I’m hopeful everything will go well, and that I’ll keep moving forward, curious, and ready to explore and learn!

In the first stage of my life, I was the most beautiful and adorable baby in the world…at least in the eyes of my parents (subjective, of course). I was born through a cesarean section because I was too big for a normal delivery, which made my parents believe I was special. And in a way, I did prove them right. While my father was repairing our house, I surprised everyone by saying my very first word ‘hammer.’ Can you imagine? Not ‘mama’ or ‘papa,’ but hammer! So yes, I was a smart, beautiful, and big baby, surrounded by so much love. (Heh)

In this stage of my life, I don’t remember much, but I do know that we migrated from Davao to Cateel, where my parents worked and saw more opportunities for our small family. I was still an only child then, and this is where my adventurous side began to show. Living in the province meant endless places to explore, I played with mud, picked worms, and even ran around with chickens!

# data[].attributes.body
I look so angelic right? Hehe

Well, in this stage of my life, I had grown well and discovered a love for music and pageants. My family even went back to Davao so I could join competitions, some of which I actually won! But when our finances went down, we returned to the province. Soon, I started going to school, and honestly, I hated it. I would escape from daycare right after my parents dropped me off, finding all sorts of ways to avoid class. And if I didn’t manage to escape, I was a huge troublemaker—the kind of student teachers felt relieved to see absent. Shhhh.

When I entered elementary, I somehow transformed from a little troublemaker into that kid who loved books and always aimed for achievements, mostly because my mom, a teacher, pushed me to learn early. But just when life was getting steady, a typhoon wiped out the house my parents worked so hard to build, and that made me want to study even harder hoping I could help my family someday. And so even if I sometimes hated school, I secretly loved learning, and the best part of those years was when my little sister was born.

During my early teenage years, I really struggled to fit in. I grew up differently from most girls my age, as the oldest daughter, I was trained to be the “man of the house”, I didn’t have gadgets until high school, and when COVID-19 hit, it became even harder to connect with people. Still, I focused on my academics, became a student council leader, and stayed at the top of my class. But suddenly, things shifted when I entered senior high at our family’s dream school— although I still managed to remain an honor student, my grades dropped and I faced challenges I wasn’t ready for. Life hasn’t been easy, but I’m learning, growing, and striving to become better every day.

To my Dear Future Venus,

Hello my ever gorgeous self! Hello! Hola! Kamusta? Did you master speaking in Spanish? Bro, are you the rich, independent, and cool tita na? Hehe joke lng, no pressure hehe.

Pero bitaw, kamusta? Ok ka lng? Were you able to fulfill the things you wanted to achieve? If not, ok lng, there’s still time ^^. Did you know that I learned something recently? Ok ito un, “smooth is fast, fast is smooth”. Take it slow lang bae, time is not running out, everyone might look like they are so very far ahead from you, and that’s ok, that’s normal. You don’t have to always try to catch up to them. Just be yourself, work with your own pace, and everything will get better. I know you are carrying a lot right now- expectations, school, social life, etc.. And that’s okay, there might be things that don’t go our way, no matter how hard we try, but, whenever that happens, always go back to where you came from, go back to the reason of why you started and stuff like that hehe (sorry, alam mo naman na we suck at giving advises TvT). Pero yah, i hope hindi ka na sige scroll ng reels din btw.

Good luck, do your best, be yourself, and remember “Smooth is Fast, Fast is Smooth”. I love you self, Mwah.

With all the love,

Venus 2025

Personal Development was very helpful because it made me slow down and look at who I really am. It taught me not to rush things out, that everything I feel is valid. Through the lessons, I learned more about my strengths, my weaknesses, and how I can grow as a person. It helped me understand what truly matters to me, especially in building relationships and choosing my career path. This subject reminded me that knowing yourself is the first step toward knowing where you want to go.

My biggest takeaway is that love, family, and ambition must go together to reach success. Without love, we may lose purpose and passion in what we do. Without family, we might feel alone because no one can survive without support. After all, no man is an island. And without our ambition or dreams, life becomes empty, and it feels like you are just working in a cycle because we don’t know what we’re working hard for. Humans as we are, we are naturally curious, and through this lesson, I believe that our dreams give direction and meaning to our journey.

Although we were asked to choose only two, I believe I really loved the lessons of love, family, and career. That is because these three are connected in shaping who I want to become. They helped me reflect on who and what I treasure most, my loved ones and my dreams. Knowing how I love others, myself, and my family gives me strength and inspiration to pursue my goals. These lessons reminded me that when we do things out of love and with the support of our family, we can face challenges with a braver heart, especially in chasing our future careers.
