In this stage, I always had a thirst for trying new things😎 I actually even loved going to school because aside from liking my teachers, Ma’am Edna and Ma’am Virgie, I loved learning new knowledge everyday. Because of that, I graduated as valedictorian in my preschool class.

During this stage, my parents will let me do things on my own already!😁 I was actually a visitor in our local kindergarten and would often bring my milk bottle when I attend class. My mom would tell me stories in where I would eagerly answer my teacher’s questions while still having a hard time talking.

In this stage, I developed a very trusting attitude in which I overly trusted people. An example of this is when I was carried by strangers or people that I don’t know and I won’t react. For a child, it should not be normalized so my parents always watched me.

These are my friends in ADDU and who I spend most of my lunch breaks with. We love to go to the library after lunch to read books specifically ancient mythologies like Percy Jackson and Tales of Apollo. We have a tradition of taking polaroid pictures during big events. I look forward to our CTK and IGNITE pictures this year.

I really love my classmates in ADDU-SHS, we may come from different backgrounds and school but we treat each other equally. I look forward to another school year with them. Last year was a blast because I had to adjust with the environment but I am glad that I spent my year with them. I made a lot of close friends and I hope it will last even after when we graduate this year.

My mother's name is Anidel M. Achivida and my father's name is Francis S. Achivida. They currently live in Manay, Davao Oriental and both my parents work there as a teacher and principal, respectively. I also have siblings named, Franco Antonio and Franciane Samantha Trix. My brother is in 10th Grade and my sister is in 5th Grade. Most of my life, I spent it away from them because I have to study here in Davao City ever since I was in Kindergarten. Our current situation may be different from other families but the love and support I get may even be greater than those whose family living near.

I love everything creative. While painting, it gives me a sense of freedom and that I am in control. It all started on my performance task in Music, Arts, Pe and Health (MAPEH) in Junior High School. We were told to create a piece using our imaginations. I painted the faceless man in my dreams as it was sold to my friend who loved it.
