Anthony S. Goopio is my name. On June 13, 2001, at approximately 9:43 a.m., my life began. I was born at the Severo Verallo Memorial District Hospital in Bogo City. I weighed 6 pounds, 4 ounces and measured 19 inches in length when I was born. My eyes were black, my hair was dark black, and I had a large mole on my right brow. I'm the only child; I was intended to have three siblings, but due to miscarriage, they were unable to live their lives here on Earth. I've lived in the municipality of San Remigio, in the northern part of Cebu, since I was born, and it's recognized for having the province's longest shoreline.

When growing up, I recall having a decent childhood before entering elementary school, I was a joyful child.  I was never concerned with what people thought of me; all I wanted was to have a good time. My parents described me as a hyperactive kid who couldn't stop laughing. My hyperactivity and laughing seemed to never stop, even in the most extreme circumstances. I was running around and playing with other kids in the bus terminal one day. My mother chased me throughout the terminal until she caught up with me. She tied me to a chair in the end. I was still squirming in my seat even after being restrained until the bus pulled up.

I grew up in a family that was both caring and supportive. My mother, Emilia S. Goopio, was a housewife who passed in 2013, and my father, Teofilo S. Pallarcona, is a part-timer. He takes any job that comes his way.

My family has had the greatest impact on me personally. Family is different for everyone, but for me, it is the most essential thing I have. My family has had a deep influence on me; the way diverse personalities come together as one, the way they handle difficult situations, and the closeness I have with them are all very motivating to me.

One of the things that has taught me a lot in my life is seeing how my family is able to work effectively, in the most time, despite the very diverse personalities who live within. My parents are the two persons that are the most dissimilar to one another. When my mother was still alive, she was quite reserved, but she could also be strict. Regardless, she always has a loving expression on her face. My father, on the other hand, is a complete nut. He cracks jokes about everything, yet when the situation calls for it, he can be a very serious person. He is simpler to persuade to give you money or authorization. It's incredible to see how two people with such disparate characteristics can have such a great connection after almost 18 years.

At the end of the day, my entire family is responsible for who I am today. It's how diverse personalities come together as one, how my family handles difficult situations, and the closeness I have with them that has had a significant impact on me and my life. Without seeing all of these attributes around me throughout the majority of my life, I know I would not be as cheerful, hardworking, or positive.

I don't have anything to fall back on, and I'm not sure I've ever had anything to fall back on. I was educated as a child that my life was in my own two hands and supported by my own two feet, and that I could do anything I desired on my own. And I took it to heart; I've put in countless hours of anguish and disappointment in the pursuit of a better education.

I've already explored negative self-talk and how it affects my life. It was difficult for me to overcome negative thoughts when I was younger. I couldn't figure out why. I couldn't get my thoughts to move, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. Living in a bad environment doesn't help, even if I don't always understand my feelings or how to identify with them. Growing up, I had all the obvious signs of being insecure and depressed. Much of what I see and experience in my early years has an impact on my emotions and life.  Insecure kids grow up to be insecure adults. Nothing changes; I simply become better at disguising my fears so that the outside world is unaware of how I feel on the inside.

Insecurities and worries that can't be recognized or identified right now are likely to have a longer history. Everything I hear or see is recorded as a memory in my consciousness, along with the feelings associated with those events. It's critical that we consider and address these issues in order to lessen our challenges.

I've always had a wide range of hobbies and interests, but as I become older, my interests and hobbies expand. I'm constantly evolving. So, what are my interests and hobbies? I believe it is in the field of education. I worked on becoming more patient and maintaining a balance between my own expectations and other people's distinct skills. Aside from that, for time management, I'll probably benefit from setting a timeline for everything I'll be doing. Maybe I'm also interested in honing my communication abilities and learning how to use a computer. Apart from that, having empathy and self-awareness, being intellectually curious, having integrity, and being a person of my word are all characteristics that distinguish me from others and, in particular, for my profession.

I'm ashamed for how I've handled relationships in the past. Only to discover that it is too late to apologize, repair, or make amends. I used to be a jerk when it came to relationships. I have quarrels with my buddies over the tiniest of issues. As I become older, I'm better at repairing positive relationships and cutting ones that drain my energy.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have friends who I can rely on throughout my life. They're always there for me when I need assistance or support. I've shared special moments with you and built memories that will last a lifetime. It makes my life easier to have them. Apart from my family, the first people that spring to mind in a critical scenario are my friends. Whenever I have a problem, they assist me in resolving it by offering the best options. They are frequently enraged when I make a mistake and applaud me when I do anything.

In my hometown, I completed my primary education as a 6th honorable mention student at "San Remigio Central School," a public elementary school. My secondary education was completed at "San Remigio National High School," a public mother school in my hometown, where I graduated with high honors as a STEM student. Now, I'm a second-year student at Cebu Normal University's main campus, pursuing Bachelor of Secondary Education with a major in Mathematics.

Since my mother died from a heart attack on August 5, 2013, I was raised by a single parent (my father). Because I am a mama's boy, my life began that day with struggle, but I needed to be strong and endure it. My father began looking for work to support our needs as well as my studies from that point forward. However, obstacles will inevitably arise, and my father's work will be lost due to personal reasons. And he hasn't been able to get a stable employment because we're dealing with a pandemic and it's difficult to find a certain job. But, unexpectedly, I was awarded a scholarship to my favorite university, CNU.

I enjoy doing new things, going to new places, and eating new foods, and I am eager to share what I've learned with others. I'm excited to put my passion for excellence to work for a better future. I am driven and committed. I've always felt that age isn't a barrier to achieving our goals or making a difference in the world.

During my high school years, I was an officer in the YOUTH FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IN SCHOOLS ORGANIZATION (YES-O CLUB) for about three years.

During my work immersion days at Dapdap National National High School, a public school in my hometown, we were entrusted with hosting the closing program of Buwan ng Wika at Kasaysayan.

I also conquer my social anxiety by interacting with others, as I did on my work immersion days when I was assigned to lead a class discussion.

When I haven't had much life experience, it's difficult to think about my own personal future. There are so many options available to me. I'm not sure where I'll go tomorrow or if my mind will alter the next day or the day after that. I can only hope that I make good and thoughtful life decisions. Every decision I make has an impact on my future. I am certain that I have a bright future ahead of me and that I am on the path to a better life. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know what my dreams and goals are.

Hopefully, I will be able to accomplish everything I want in the future, but for now, I will work hard to get closer to those goals, one of which is to become a teacher. Because I grew up in a family of educators. My aunt, cousins, grandmother, and mother (who also happens to be a teacher) were all key influences in my decision to pursue a teaching career. Teaching appealed to me because working with children is like having eternal youth. Children's love, laughing, mischief, creativity, and imagination are like a never-ending source of joy and vitality. I understood that teaching would allow me to satisfy my soul's need to contribute to the shaping of tomorrow's world. I picked this career because I am convinced that it contains my unique destiny.
