This picture represents both the good side of me and the bad side. The singing bird shows my desire to be free so people could hear me sing my heart out. Songs of hope, songs that inspire people and songs that hold my emotions. But there is this cage that represents my weaknesses. Weaknesses that hinders me from doing so: fear of being judged, overthinking, and voices inside my head telling me I am never good enough. I always lack self-confidence so I felt like a bird inside a cage. However, in my journey in wanting to become my ideal self, I learn to try hard and see my worth through the eyes of the people who love me and see the beauty in me. In them, I am starting to see what a gem I am slowly becoming.

I chose a book as my symbol because like the saying "Don't judge the book by its cover", a book can be surprising and enjoyable. I'd like to improve myself so that people will not judge me and I can be a source of strength for other people. Like the books, each person has their own story to tell to the world.

I choose coffee because I’m bitter and I get into people’s nerves.

I chose the star as my symbol since it is brilliant, appealing, and well-liked by all. It is also dependable and a source of optimism for the people. Like the star, I'd like to improve myself so that a better version of myself can be looked up to as a role model for the younger generation. Each star has its own distinct brightness, I can relate to it as a one-of-a-kind individual who will never be replicated.
