But nevertheless, I am forever grateful for the experiences in life I went through. And since I know that life still goes on, I can make better memories in the future together with people I will meet someday. And hopefully, I can inspire others in the near future with my story as an educator.

However, among all those happy and challenging years I went through, there is nothing most painful than losing my mother. That was the first month of 2022 and with that, I considered that year a bummer not just for me but also to our family. But thankfully, I was relieved knowing that my mother’s 8 months of suffering ended as she died because of cancer.

Being a child born in a humble family, there’s nothing in life that I strive to grasp than having a simple and blessed life in the future. With this mindset, I still dream big like other students but I also know how to stop and be contented not like most students. It is good to have huge ambitions, but it is not bad to settle for what God has given to us and what our body is capable enough of.

As stated earlier, I was a consistent top student since elementary until senior high school. But my, greatest achievement in life would be the experience I earned as a student leader. Because for me, experience is the best teacher and it can’t be fully found inside campuses. For it is truly present outside learning institutions.

Since I set foot in this world, I have completed my elementary and secondary years without any problems. And one thing that I really treasure the most, was my 4 years of experience as a Supreme Student Government officer in high school in which my leadership skills was furtherly honed. And right now that I am studying in college, I am planning to serve the school and my schoolmates as an officer of the Educator’s Council. But still, I am currently finding the right time to pursue this plan.

As a toddler, I was also having troubles regarding my gender. I was confused because even though I was a boy, I felt like a girl internally. But since I was lucky enough, I was able to come out confidently through my supportive  family. Since I was a child, I saw in my early years how  poor our family were, considering my parent’s occupation. And so, this motivated me to study in school and have greater plans in the future. On the other hand, playing Badminton has been my specialty. And in fact, I was always competing against other school’s representatives during sports meets - both in elementary and secondary years. And this special connection with sports have made me realized how important my existence is in this world. And I even met my first crush through playing Badminton, and my perspectives in life changed after I met him. When in fact, he was our class Valedictorian and I was the class Salutatorian during our elementary years. That part of my life really encouraged me to become a better son, student, Filipino citizen and a son of God.
