Hi! I am Danica Chrystel Marie S. Lunzaga from Ateneo De Davao University Senior High School. I'm currently 17 years old, turning 18 on December 28. This page is for my information; get to know me as you go through this Padlet. :)

I love fruits; they are healthy, delicious, and flavorful. While I enjoy a wide variety of them, I must admit that I’m not a fan of dragon fruit and kiwi. Despite that, I appreciate the nutritional benefits of fruits and the joy they bring to my meals.

I like to watch basketball; I mostly watch on TV. My tita and tito influenced me. During the pandemic was my "no-absence in watching basketball" era. That's when I started to become a basketball fan. I also enjoy playing basketball, and we played during grade 11.

I also love road trips; I enjoy them a lot. Just chilling and feeling the vibe of the environment while driving is a must!

Some of my hobbies are watching movies/series on Netflix and listening to music on Spotify. Most of my free time is spent on these two hobbies, but I'm still working to manage my time, especially now that school has started.

I don't have any interesting talent, but a fact about me is that I love math than English. I don't know, English ruins my card, but I'm still working to improve my academic skills in English. I'm also a consistent honor student since kindergarten, I'm kinda proud of it. A fun fact about me is that I'm scared of worms; I hate them a lot. My favorite bible verses are Romans 8:18, it says "The pain that you have been feeling can't compare to the joy that is coming," and Proverbs 3:5-6, it says "Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding; In all ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." I'm looking forward to being a lector in our church. I don't have any pets since my mom won't let me have one in the house, and it makes me sad cause I want a puppy. I'm kinda excited for the school year 2025-2026. You know, new people to meet, new lessons to learn, and new memories to make. That's all, thanks!

These three are my most-used social media platforms (insert Messenger). Whenever I get bored, I just scroll through them and watch videos.

Is sleeping a hobby? No, it's not, but I will add it anyway. I love to sleep; it gives me a lot of peace. It mostly helps my head rest from academic pressure.

Dear future self,

Hi! First, I wanted to let you know that this phase of my life (being a teenager) is quite challenging. Academic pressure's huge. I'm still growing, developing, and uncovering things in my life. Although this stage is difficult, I know I can overcome this because God is with me, guides me, and gives me strength to live this life; that's why I've been strong throughout, because of Jesus. I can say that I've been in many situations I never expected to be in. But I thank God every day because He never left my side. I am so blessed and thankful for everything in my life. Many realizations came in, one of which is that life is not constant but changing. The more I get older, the more realizations I get. The more people I gain, the more I lose. I have a lot of dreams to chase, and I want to achieve those not just for myself, but for everyone who needs me. I know God wants me to help other people, and I will. I hope you will never lose your faith in Jesus because that's a promise I would never break. I hope you will be successful and help others who need help a lot. I hope you will be humble and think that life is tough, but through Jesus, we can overcome those obstacles. I hope you will forever be grateful for what you have. I hope you will continue to live through God. Do what is right and place love above all. Remember that Romans 8:18 says, "The pain that you have been feeling can't compare to the joy that is coming." Love yah!

Sincerely,

Your teenager self

In my pre-school days, I was filled with fun and talking. I enjoy playing outside with my friends and having long, creative conversations. It was my first time attending school, and I felt that school was the happiest place as I had many friends, and we shared many joyful moments full of laughter and adventures with school activities. School was a big part of my life. I liked learning new things, making friends, and discovering the subjects I loved the most. The teachers were friendly and helpful, and the school felt like a second home where I could learn and grow every day, bringing new excitement and curiosity. Above all, I cherished my family and felt a strong presence of God in my life. Their love and support made my childhood feel safe, warm, and special. Looking back, I'm thankful for the happiness, friendships, love, faith, and learning experiences that helped shape who I am today.

Elementary school was an enjoyable and exciting time for me. I learned a lot, especially in the subjects I liked the most. I made many friends, and we played during recess and celebrated special events together. I discovered important lessons about friendship, kindness, and responsibility that I still live by today. I also loved riding my bike around the neighborhood, where I felt free and adventurous. At this stage, I actually participated in many competitions at our school. A fact is that I was our school batch valedictorian, but sadly we were not able to attend our graduation due to the pandemic. This was my prime era in academics, hahahaha. There were also a lot of realizations in this stage, that things work how they should, and not how you expect. Those years were full of happiness, growth, and experiences that helped shape who I am now.

Hoo, I don't even know how to start explaining this stage of my life. So, okay. I'm going through my teenage years, a time of many changes and figuring out who I am. I've experienced puberty and become more conscious of my values. During this period, I'm learning important lessons that shape my character. I face daily challenges that help me grow and mature.

Let's begin with my JHS days, so my first two years of high school were not face-to-face classes because of the pandemic. Let's talk about my 9th and 10th grades. I'm still struggling with commuting here because I don't know how to commute. I've encountered and realized a lot here that everything has its purpose and that you won't get what you want. But it's a crime not to say that this was the BEST SCHOOL YEARS of my life. I became more mature and open-minded.

Recently, I chose ABM, which encouraged me to put in the effort. I entered Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School. At first, I was down because none of my friends attended Ateneo; it was all me, a new, independent. I never really wanna talk to anybody because I know our humors won't match because I have a "kanal" humor and most of my classmates have "aircon" humor. My grades literally dropped. However, that changed when I met my friend, Grace. I was really thankful for her. God gave me one person to click with because He knows I'm not doing fine. Until I found my friends, they were getting a lot, haha. If you ask me how I am right now, I love this phase of my life. Life is not perfect, but it is beautiful.

Although being a teenager can be confusing, I gradually understood myself and made better choices. I appreciate the support from my family and friends as I go through this critical time in my life. I believe these experiences will prepare me for the future. I became more dedicated to God, and I heard the call of God for me to serve Him, love, and be kind to one another. I only want to be successful in life to help others with love.

I didn't notice much around me when I was a baby. My mom says I cry a lot and was quite loud. Although I couldn't understand anything, my crying was how I showed what I needed. My family looked after me and made sure I felt safe and loved. Thinking back, those early days marked the start of my journey. It's funny to realize how much I have changed since then.

# data[].attributes.body
My early childhood stage was fun because I played a lot. I used to like going outside, running around, and discovering new things. Playing with my friends made each day exciting and full of laughter. I cry, and it saddens me every time my mom won't allow me to play with my friends. This stage of my life is the most unproblematic, as I still can't understand the word "problem." My family is still complete. I enjoy talking and sharing stories with others, which makes me feel happy and connected. My family and faith in God were essential to me, giving me love and support. Those carefree days filled with play and joy are my favorite memories. My mom used to say I was a funny and silly girl. I was a little girl.

At first, I thought that the Personal Development subject would be boring. But as the weeks passed, I realized I was wrong. The topics we talked about were actually relevant and relatable to my life. These lessons made me think deeply about myself, my actions, and how I interact with others. I discovered the importance of being self-aware and emotionally intelligent to become a better person.

One of the best parts of the class was our teacher, Sir Jerwin Yanson. He has a unique way of making each topic engaging and easy to understand. Sir Jerwin is kind, engaging, and understanding. He knows how to keep us interested and motivated. Even when the subjects became serious or personal, he always ensured we felt comfortable and respected.

I really appreciate how he ties every lesson to real-life situations, making the subject feel valuable and practical. Thanks to him, I no longer see Personal Development as a boring subject, but as a helpful tool for improving myself and understanding others better. I’m very thankful to Sir Jerwin for making this learning experience enjoyable and meaningful.

The Personal Development subject was beneficial for me because it helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself. I learned about my strengths, weaknesses, values, and what I want to achieve in life. I became more aware of how I manage my emotions and how I interact with others. This course also made me reflect on my decisions and their impact on my personal growth. In addition, it helped me become a better and more self-aware individual.

My main lessons from personal development are about understanding myself, being aware of my emotions, and valuing healthy relationships. I learned that knowing who I am is crucial to personal growth and overall happiness. This topic has helped me appreciate myself while also motivating me to strive for improvement. I've realized that making mistakes is okay as long as I learn from them. Also, I recognize that personal development is an ongoing journey that continues as I encounter new experiences.

There are two topics I really liked, which were Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health and Well-being. I found Emotional Intelligence helpful because it taught me how to understand and manage my emotions effectively. It also made me more understanding and caring towards others. I also enjoyed learning about Mental Health and well-being, as it showed me the importance of taking care of myself, both mentally and emotionally. These topics were easy to relate to and offered me important lessons I can use every day to stay balanced and positive.
