My parents are some of the most significant people in my life, but that’s a given. Of course, they influenced my morals, especially in my early childhood because it’s not like I had a lot to base my morals on other than them anyway. My mom actually held a pre-school or something of the sort in our house when I was really young, so I learned how to read and other basic stuff from her.

Another very significant person in my life is my current best friend. She’s not perfect—that’s how it is with all humans—but she’s the nicest person I’ve ever met, and I’m glad that I’ve stayed this close to her for so long. She’s the person I trust the most, and she’s the only one I can talk to when I’m going through something. I’m very grateful to have her in my life, and because I truly appreciate her, I do my best to make her happy and be there for her whenever I can.

As of now, my classmates are significant in my life, too. Because it’s much easier for me to connect with them, I definitely experience less stress when it comes to socializing, and my personality’s probably being developed as I live my school life with them, without me being conscious of any changes that happen to me.

My first surgery was pretty important; it gave me the stitches I’ll literally have for my whole life. I was young, but I’ve never forgotten them, and I’ll never forget those few days in the hospital that felt like a much longer time back then. I actually enjoyed while I was in the hospital because I celebrated my birthday right after I got out of the operation room and back to my own room in the hospital. I even talked to the surgeons before they put me on sleeping gas in the OR.

An actual turning point was transferring to Dominican College though; it was when I went to the school I’d be studying in for 10 years of my life. I met a lot of people, and that’s where most of my personality had developed so far.

Another turning point was finally taking the iAcademy entrance exam and passing it with flying colors. I’ve been wanting to go there for a long time, and now I’m finally here. I finally have a new, much healthier environment. People are nicer; they’re actually decent. I can express my individuality without having to break any rules, and I can speak English without being mocked by my peers.

In a year, I just want to graduate as an honor in Grade 12. In 5 years, I want to graduate at least a cum laude in Software Engineering, and have a stable job with a more than average pay. In 10 years, I don’t expect to be working in a large company just yet by that time since I’d be a fresh graduate, but I do want to have started developing simple games by that time so I can start building up more possible income.

I expect my future timeline to not be as good as I want it to, but to still be counted as successful. I expect to have a really good job and to be able to make enough money to support my family and some extra for things I’ll need for game development. I don’t expect my future games to be as famous as very well-known and loved games such as Telltale games, Life is Strange, etc., but I expect my games to be known by at least more than a thousand people at some point.

I don’t think I’d actually change anything, not because I’m satisfied with my whole life so far or because I like it, but because I know that a small change in the past can have a large effect on the future, and that’s a risk that probably isn’t worth what outcome I’d desire. What I think would be best to change isn’t exactly a specific instance or part of my life anyway; I think my life would be better if I had a better personality, but it might also be very different; I’d probably have different friends, people would see me differently, and so on so forth, so even if I was given the chance to change my personality from the past, I don’t think I’d take it at all. However, if I was given that chance now, I might take it, depending on the specifics of the change. It’ll change my future for sure; I might have more friends, and maybe I’d have an easier time getting along with my co-workers in my future jobs.

My timeline centers on mostly school-related stuff, apparently. If I were to give my timeline a title, it’d be “Trying and Living” because I’ve been striving for achievements for so long, and I still am, but as I grew up, I realized there are other things I should focus on than my academics. From nursery to kinder advanced, I got academic achievements. Throughout my school life in Dominican College—10 grades—I always got into the top 10, save for a few school years. My social life wasn’t all that exciting though. That’s an important part of living, so I tried to do something about it when I realized it.
