Dear Future Me 🤍

I you’re you’re dining well I’m writing to you from a place full of hope and determination: I’m about to graduate soon! Right now, my biggest dreams are clear: I want to be a successful accountant, own my own home abroad, and retire mommy and daddy so they can live comfortably without worrying about our livelihood.

I hope you have worked hard and stayed focused on these goals. I hope you remember the late nights studying, the dedication to building your skills, and the sacrifices you made to get where you are, the tears and the laughs, and all the learnings you’ve gone through. Owning a home is more than just a milestone, it’s a symbol of your perseverance and stability. And retiring your parents? That’s a dream rooted in love and gratitude. I hope you’ve made it happen, and that they’re proud and still supportive of you!

No matter what challenges you faced along the way, I hope you never lost sight of why you started. Keep pushing forward with patience, discipline, and heart. Celebrate every step of progress, no matter how small.

You are capable of so much. I believe in you.

With determination and love,
The Past Sim 💗

In Grade 10, I signed up for OSA creatives. I was allowed to choose whatever category I wanted since my skills catered to all categories, so I decided on videography. I recorded different school events such as live concerts, fiesta, etc. I have always been a group leader, have experienced being a treasurer, president, vice president, and secretary in various fields. I joined ASHSCOM last year as a member of the logistics committee, and now I am a member of the PASG Bookkeeping Comittee.

After my uncle passed, I could only cope with music, so I made a playlist for him. From then on, I often listen to this playlist whenever I miss him. This playlist is a way of showing that I miss him every day and also a way to cope with his absence. Whenever grief hits hard, I make sure to put on this playlist.

From grades eight to 10, I was in Xavier. In SHS, I opted to take ABM as my strand, as I would like to become a CA in the future and also get a degree in Accounting and Finance. I would like to leave the Philippines and pursue a career that aligns with my goals and values, as well as my interests.

I love art, digital or manual; I'm a sucker for self-expression. Any type of self-expression is my jam, but here's the catch - I'm terrified of being perceived by people. However, confronting this fear daily enhances my growth as an individual and a member of society.
