I love walking at night. There's something about the quiet streets, the cool air, and peace. It gives me space to breathe, to unwind, and to clear my mind when life feels overwhelming. During those night walks, my worries seem to fade, even if just for an hour. It's a time for reflection, and reconnecting with myself.

The second thing I would always do when I woke up, is to look at my window. For me, this symbolizes that new day, new hope, and a new chance to do better than yesterday.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been really curious about everything. My parents wanted me to explore and enjoy my childhood. They let me do the things I wanted, which helped me grow into someone who loves trying new things and believes in the saying, "Do what scares you, until it doesn't anymore."

I may not remember many of my childhood memories, especially when I was 2 to 4 years old. But I do know that walking through the mall hallways and choosing toys was my favorite thing to do. Looking back, I realize how much small moments of freedom helped me build my confidence.

Can we all agree that studying used to feel like torture?

As a kid, I really wasn’t a fan of studying unless there was a quiz or exam. But as time went by, I learned to love studying, with the help of my mama. What I love most about it is that when we study, we’re also spending time together.

I have so much love for volunteering. Honestly, giving hope and happiness to them always makes my heart melt. And I really love it when they’re laughing and just being kids, without worrying about getting injections or staying in hospital rooms.

I spent my junior years with them. They saw me cram my outputs, struggle with math explanations, cry, and laugh—they saw every version of me. They're one of the reasons I survived junior year. They made me laugh until my tummy hurt, and yes, they were annoying sometimes, but I’m so glad I met people like them. It’s been a year since we graduated, and I can’t help but wonder—what would it feel like to be in the same room with them again?

I never imagined I would meet people like them. They’ve helped me so much throughout my senior year journey. Whether I’m struggling with academics or just need someone to talk to, they’re always there for me. Their presence, support, and encouragement mean more than words can express. I’m truly grateful to be spending these two years with them and to be sharing all the ups and downs of senior year by their side.

I just joined Ignite Cheerdance 2025, but I didn’t expect to find a little family because of it. It was such a rollercoaster experience. I miss our practices and our dinner after and before practice tradition.

I was a Jollibee kid, and I still am now that I am a young lady. Jollibee has been my happy place since then.

"Sa Jollibee, bida ang saya" — a quote from their song. As a kid, it was just a song that promoted Jollibee, but now I realize that song isn’t just a normal song — it’s a message. Because whenever I am sad, disappointed, and hungry, I always go to Jollibee, and it takes my sadness away. And I think it’s true, "Sa Jollibee, bida ang saya."

I am one of those people who are blessed with an amazing family. I’m lucky to have them in my life. They are my foundation, my support system, and my greatest inspiration.

My mama and papa are my motivation to do more and be better. I am thankful to them for supporting all my dreams and everything I’ve wanted to pursue. I’m truly grateful for their sacrifices and hard work—without them, I wouldn’t have the life I enjoy today. They constantly remind me to believe in myself, even when things get difficult.

My grandparents, they’re my kakampi in everything. I am very grateful that they take such good care of me, especially when my mama and papa are busy working. Their love is truly top-tier. They’ve always made me feel safe, supported, and unconditionally loved. I will always cherish the time I have with them.

My aunts and uncles—their advice, whether about academics or personal matters, always makes sense and has helped me learn to think carefully before making decisions. They treat me not just as a relative, but as someone they genuinely care about. Their guidance has shaped the way I approach life with responsibility and maturity.

My cute cousins, who never failed to make me laugh, thank you.

I love my family so much. They give me hope and inspiration every day. In both my ups and downs, they’ve always been there to support me, reminding me that I’m never alone. They celebrate my wins, comfort me in losses, and push me to rise every time I fall. I’m truly blessed to have them.

Dear future Maeve,

How are you, Maeve? I hope you’re doing well wherever you are right now. If life has been heavy lately, I hope you still feel the love of the people around you — and I hope you remember that you deserve all of it and more.

Time truly flies so fast. You’re 17, you were just a STEM Pre-Science student at Ateneo de Davao University — a girl who felt so lost, so unsure of where to go, who doubted herself more times than she could count. You were the girl who almost gave up after nearly failing Basic Calculus, who quietly wished to make her parents proud someday, and who carried dreams in her heart even when they felt impossible.

# data[].attributes.body
You’re turning your once-impossible fantasy into reality. I’m so glad you didn’t let your story end when you stumbled — when Basic Calculus almost broke your spirit. Instead, you stood back up, you fought, and you showed yourself just how strong and capable you really are. I am endlessly proud of who you’ve become — not just because of what you achieved, but because you grew into someone stronger, kinder, and wiser than the girl who ever imagined. With all the love and pride in my heart, always cheering for you.

"She believed she could, so she did."

Sincerely,

The girl who once dreamed this

And now, here you are — finally wearing that lab coat and gown, with “MD” next to your name. What a journey it has been, full of sleepless nights, tears you hid from everyone, quiet doubts, and countless little victories no one else may have noticed. I’m so proud of you for not letting go of yourself, for choosing to keep walking even when the path felt too hard, and for listening to what your heart truly longed for.

As a baby, I was small and chubby with soft skin, showed curiosity by looking around and responding to sounds, expressed my feelings through crying, smiling, and laughing. I was strongly attached to my caregivers while enjoying their attention. I guess, memorable experience was taking my first steps while my family clapped and cheered, and also recognizing my parents’ voices that made me feel safe.

# data[].attributes.body
As a 3-year-old, I was active and playful with improving motor skills, eager to learn by asking questions and recognizing shapes, colors, and simple words, expressed my emotions openly through tantrums, laughter, and affection, and enjoyed playing with other children while seeking comfort from my family.

The memorable experience was learning to talk in short sentences, playing games with other kids, and having fun moments like singing or dancing in front of my family.

When I was 5, I was playful, and I liked to play all the time. I was a curious little girl, and I always asked questions. I was friendly because I liked making new friends. Sometimes I was shy, but I was also happy most of the time.

When I was 5, a memorable experience was my first day of school. I was excited but also scared. I met new friends and learned new things. It made me happy and proud because I felt like a “big kid.”

When I was 7, my self-aspect showed that I was playful and curious. I liked to ask a lot of questions about everything because I wanted to understand the world around me. I was also friendly, and I enjoyed playing with my classmates and making new friends. Sometimes, I was shy when meeting new people, but once I got comfortable, I became talkative and cheerful. I was also imaginative, because I loved to create stories and play pretend games. I tried to be helpful at home, like helping my parents with small chores. These qualities showed that even at 7, I was starting to know more about who I was and what I could do

A memorable experience was when I learned how to ride a bike. At first, I was nervous because I thought I would fall. My mom and dad helped me by holding the bike while I tried to pedal. I fell a few times and even wanted to stop, but they told me to keep trying. Little by little, I got better, and one day I was able to ride all by myself without anyone holding me. I felt so happy and proud because I did something I couldn’t do before. After that, I rode my bike almost every day with my friends, and it became one of my favorite things to do.

At 17, my self-aspect showed qualities such as being independent and curious. I was in a stage where I wanted to explore who I really was, so I valued freedom in making choices. I also had an idealistic side, dreaming big about my future and believing I could make a difference. At the same time, I was self-conscious and sometimes insecure, especially about how others saw me. I cared deeply about friendships and relationships, showing emotional intensity, but I was also beginning to build confidence in my own abilities and talents.

One memorable experience I had at 17 was when I survived grade 11. It was meaningful because it gave me a sense of achievement and made me realize that I was slowly stepping into adulthood. I felt proud of myself, but also nervous about the future. This experience showed me my qualities of being determined, hardworking, and hopeful, and it shaped how I saw myself during that stage.
