Hi, my name is Alice Nicole S. Lugo. I was born on December 2, 2007—which makes me 17 years old. I’m currently a 12th-grade student at Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School. I feel very grateful and honored to be studying at such a prestigious institution, and I’m genuinely happy to be experiencing this journey. You can call me Alice—just don’t add “Guo” after it (I’m just kidding, HAHA).

Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved eating in Jollibee. Their foods are just unmatched, especially their gravy, it always makes me feel like a kid again every time I eat their food. Spaghetti is my favorite, I always order it every time we go to Jollibee.

My father is a police officer and I look up to him for who he is as a person. I wanted to become someone who serves and saves people, so during our career guidance in 6th grade, I decided to be a police to show and express what I wanted to be in the future.

When I was in 3rd grade, I became interested in science. Since then, I've always dreamed about becoming a scientist in the future, a forensic scientist in particular.

When I was in grade school, I was always tasked to teach and look after the lower years whenever their teacher had a meeting. I loved seeing them smiling and paying attention! They were like little mature adults.

Every single one of these people has made an impact in my life—shaping me into who I am, teaching me lessons in their own ways, and reminding me that I’m never alone. I’m the kind of person who gets angry and frustrated easily, but I also try to be empathetic, kind, and generous. I really appreciate them for always being patient with me, taking the time to teach me things, and giving me advice. I feel things deeply, and sometimes that makes it hard to stay calm—but I always mean well.

I believe everything in life has a purpose. That’s why I live by the quote, “everything you lose is a step you take.” It’s from a Taylor Swift song, and I didn’t expect it to make me reflect so much, but it did.

One day, I hope I can inspire others the way I’ve been inspired. But for now, I just hope and pray that I’m better than the person I was yesterday.

My favorite color is blue because it represents serenity and calmness. There's just something about this color that makes me happy, despite the fact that this color is known to be the color that represnts sadness.

This one was during our foundation day celebration in 9th grade (2022). After the pandemic, this was my major comeback on stage. This was an experience I will never forget, it was very nerve-wracking but at the same time very exciting. Whenever I reminisce about this moment, I think about the time and effort that the people who supported me that time have sacrificed; I will forever be grateful to them.

This one was in 1st grade (2015), I only remember that this program was during Christmas, hence the costume. My mom personally designed and crafted this creative attire, I love her to the moon and back.

I often join pageants in school programs. It's not my passion, but I like doing it sometimes. This was during our King & Queen of Hearts program for Valentine's Day back in 6th grade (2018). I am proud to say that I came 1st runner up here.

Always loved participating in camping trips because I just the outdoors and I find it fun to engage in activities with friends. One of the things I love about joining camps is that I get to meet other people and interact with them during friendship night.

Given that I love blue, it's obvious that I would love the ocean. Being engulfed in clear, blue, and refreshing water always brings me joy and relief. Additionally, I am a very curious person and I love to discover new things.

Honestly, I’ve always felt like a “jack of all trades, master of none.” I’ve tried so many things—sports, hobbies, random stuff—but I never really stuck to just one. Still, there are a few things I actually enjoy.

Dancing is definitely one of them. I love being on stage and just feeling the energy while performing. Music’s a big part of my life too—I’m always listening to something, and Taylor Swift is my ultimate fave. Her songs just get me, especially the ones about doing things on your own.

Lately, I’ve been messing around with the guitar—both electric and acoustic. I’m still figuring things out, but it’s fun to play when I’m bored or just vibing.

And of course, I love playing online games. CODM, Genshin, ML, Roblox—you name it. Gaming’s my go-to for relaxing and having fun (especially when I don’t feel like being productive, lol).

I might not be amazing at one thing, but I like having a mix of little things that make me, me.

I am the second eldest among my siblings—we’re a family of seven—and growing up as the only girl (aside from my mom) really helped me become more resilient and independent. My family has always been supportive of the things I want to do. Sure, they sometimes get mad when I come home late because of events, practices, or trainings, but they never stop me from doing what I love.

There’s also my Tita who lives abroad. She always sends us chocolates and other goodies from the U.S., and she supports us however she can. She's actually the reason I get to study here at Ateneo de Davao University SHS, and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity she’s given me.

I also really love and treasure my pets—they’re like part of the family. They bring me comfort, joy, and are always there to cheer me up after a long day. I honestly can’t imagine home without them.

I love my family so much. They’re the reason I am who I am today, and they’ll always be my biggest inspiration and motivation to do better in life.

I love spending time with my friends—they’re my second family and a big part of who I am. Whether it’s sharing laughter over small things, supporting each other through challenges, or just hanging out after school, every moment with them feels special.

My friends have always been my source of joy and motivation. They inspire me to try new things, embrace my quirks, and step out of my comfort zone. I’m so grateful for the memories we’ve created and the countless adventures we’ve shared.

Hanging out with them reminds me how important it is to cherish the people who bring happiness and positivity into your life.
