Hello to all of you! I am Fiona Grace P. Cajes, born on the 6th day of March 2004. I’m a second-year college student at Cebu Technological University's Tuburan Campus. I am a seeker of knowledge and wisdom, continuously striving to broaden my understanding of the world around me. I am a dreamer with ambitions and goals that propel me ahead. I am shaped by the people I love, the struggles I've overcome, and the victories I've experienced. I have strengths that set me apart and weaknesses that make me human. I am continually evolving, learning, and growing, accepting new opportunities and adapting to change.

For people who need me, I am a buddy, a confidant, and a support system. I am a lover of life, finding joy in the simple pleasures and embracing the beauty of the present moment. I'm also a big fan of art, and I'm fascinated by the emotions that it delivers and the stories it tells. I am a unique person with boundless potential, ready to leave my mark on the world. But perhaps most importantly, I am who I am today as a result of the experiences I have had in my life. Above all, I am me.

I was born in Cebu City and lived in Tuburan, Cebu but grew up on the island of Bohol. We left Cebu when I was 8 years old for personal reasons and settled in Talibon, Bohol. We've been living in Bohol for about 12 years now. But during vacations at school, I and my mom would go home to visit our families in Tuburan to reconnect and bond with them.

Moving to a new location is difficult for me because everything around me is unknown and I am trying to make new friends. I can still remember struggling to navigate and find my way when I first arrived in Bohol since the streets, buildings, parks, and landmarks were all different, and the sense of unfamiliarity created a sensation of being in the unknown for me.

I am aware that each location has its own distinct culture, customs, and way of life. As a result, I'm beginning to adjust to a new set of societal norms, customs, and behaviors. To overcome the unfamiliar surroundings, I attempted to discover the local attractions in our province and become more acquainted with the community.

When I was three years old, I began school at the Daycare Center at Brgy. 1, Tuburan, Cebu. Since we had to move to Bohol at the time, I only attended Tuburan Central Elementary School for kindergarten through second grade. For this reason, I attended Talibon ll Central Elementary School for the third through sixth grades. I've been a student awardee since first grade and till sixth grade. I also participated in events such as dancing and drawing contests from third grade to sixth grade. On graduation day in sixth grade, I was recognized as the second honoree in our section and received numerous awards.

During my high school years, I took an entrance examination at Blessed Trinity College, which I thankfully passed, allowing me to spend my junior and senior years there. I was an SSG officer on our campus for three years in a row, as well as a majorette in the school band. I didn't anticipate being one of the top students at the time because it was a private school and I imagined it to be difficult to study there. But, luckily, from seventh grade until my graduation ceremony, I was recognized as one of the With High Honors awardees, with an average grade of 97.

At college, it was not really my plan to attend Cebu Technological University - Tuburan Campus, but I suppose it was God's purpose to bring me here. I am an electrical engineering student, and all I can say is that the college environment has definitely exposed me to a new world, where one of my ultimate goals is to accomplish something innovative in the field of engineering that would enhance the lives of ordinary people. It was a roller coaster trip full of emotions and new experiences for me but somehow taught me the importance of embracing the unknown and one that I am grateful to be on.

I have a variety of activities that offer me great delight and allow me to express myself in unique ways.

~ Dancing is more than simply a pastime for me; it is a way of self-expression that allows me to speak without using words. It not only keeps me physically strong, but it also raises my confidence and teaches me discipline.

~ Books are my gateway to endless adventures and captivating stories. Reading allows me to escape reality and immerse myself in other worlds and points of view. It also broadens my imagination, enhances my vocabulary, and deepens my understanding of the world.

~ Drawing is a passion that helps me to express myself creatively and bring my ideas to reality. I prefer painting because I appreciate art and it gives me a sense of calm and happiness. It is a form of therapy that helps me relax, focus, and find solace in the act of creation.

~ Photography is my way of preserving memories and capturing fleeting moments. With a camera in hand, I become an observer of life, seeing beauty in the little details. Taking images allows me to see the world through a different lens, encouraging me to appreciate the details and stories that surround us.

They not only bring me joy and relaxation but also offer countless opportunities for self-expression, personal growth, and exploration. Whether it's the strokes of a pencil, the turn of a page, the sway of hips, or the click of a camera, these hobbies allow me to delve deeper into my passions, connecting with myself and others in extraordinary ways.

I have many proudest moments in my life, but I will highlight a few of them. The first was during our Moving Up Ceremony in 10th grade when I was recognized as one of our batch With High Honor and earned numerous medals. Second, when we defended our thesis in 12th grade, we put so much effort into it and did our absolute best to present it successfully to the panelists. Third, when I graduated senior year, and I was still a member of the With High Honor awardee with a special award. Last but not least, I recently received a perfect mark on our midterm examinations in electrical circuits. It's quite challenging, which is why I'm so proud of myself for passing it. I also received a passing score on practically all of my midterm exams. I truly believe that God has been guiding and supporting me throughout my educational journey.

Some of the obstacles I've experienced in my life include efficiently managing time between studies and other activities, dealing with academic pressure and stress, keeping a healthy lifestyle, dealing with financial difficulties, adapting to a new location, and being independent. I am one of those who moved away from home to attend a new school for college. Stepping into an unfamiliar environment surrounded by new faces and routines has been difficult for me. From managing my finances to organizing my calendar, from accepting responsibility to nurturing self-care, I have no choice but to build my own path since I have the freedom to do so.

One thing is certain: facing all of these problems as I begin college will be an amazing and transformative experience that will develop my character and pave the road for a successful future. For nearly two years of studying at Cebu Technological University - Tuburan Campus, I began to experience a sense of belonging and comfort as I explored the campus and attended orientation events. The unfamiliar soon became my second home.

Those difficulties developed me into a strong lady who does not need to rely everything on anyone. I can walk the path to success by successfully managing time, addressing academic pressure head-on, keeping a healthy and balanced lifestyle, overcoming financial issues, adapting to new settings, and being self-sufficient. Those challenges are not only hurdles to overcome but also opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. It not only helped me acquire essential life skills but also fostered personal growth and resilience. Embracing these challenges has transformed me into a more well-rounded and adaptable person, ready to face the future with confidence.

Some of my long-term aims and ambitions include graduating on time with God's help and passing the board examination on the first try so that when I become a licensed electrical engineer, I can work in the industry and contribute to field developments. This could include providing renewable energy alternatives, creative electrical products, or efficient power systems. In terms of personal development, I would like to continue learning and improving my knowledge even after finishing my degree. This could entail seeking further degrees or attending workshops and conferences to keep up with the most recent breakthroughs in my profession.

First, I love traveling, something many people are unaware of. Those around me know me as someone who gets motion sickness whenever I travel, but that doesn't stop me from visiting various tourist attractions in my province and neighboring provinces because it allows me to discover hidden gems in my place and appreciate the beauty and culture of my own country. It gives me a sense of pride and connection to my roots. It allows me to explore the places where my ancestors may have lived, and to witness the historical landmarks and significant sites that have shaped our nation's history.

Second is my addiction to Barbie. I always have this stern expression on my face which is why people misunderstand me I am not a girly type of person but as long as I can remember, Barbie, the iconic doll, has been a significant part of my life. Dressing up my dolls and creating unique looks has allowed me to develop a sense of individuality and explore various aspects of my style. In addition, I like to collect different Barbie-related products. I have a lot of Barbie compact discs (CDs) in my room, and I've seen them all repeatedly.

Lastly, I dislike pineapples on top of pizza. I love pineapples as a fruit because of its refreshing taste and it has numerous health benefits. However, when it comes to pizza, the addition of pineapples creates a strong contrast in flavors, which does not suit my taste buds and personal preference. In my opinion, the pineapples feel out of place and disrupt the perfect balance that a good pizza should have. We all have preferences, and pineapples on pizza is one of those things that I have tried but cannot bring myself to like.

My philosophy in life revolves around embracing growth and embracing authenticity. As a teen, I believe in always seeking new experiences, learning from my mistakes, and pushing myself to leave my comfort zone. I am eager to expand my knowledge, talents, and viewpoints in order to become a more well-rounded individual. I strive to be the best version of myself and reach my full potential by embracing progress. I also believe that authenticity is the key to living a fulfilling life. It means embracing my unique qualities, passions, and values, and expressing them authentically.

My biggest influence and inspiration is my family. They have never wavered in their love and support for me. They are the ones who are always there for me, cheering me on in my successes and offering a shoulder to cry on when things become tough. Having a supportive family gives me the confidence to pursue my dreams and overcome any challenges that may arise. Their support and encouragement make a huge difference in my self-esteem and motivation. I am grateful for the influence my family has had on me and cherish the bond we share. They impart wisdom and guidance based on their own experiences, helping me navigate through different stages of life. They are the ones who are there for me through thick and thin, guiding me in the right direction and providing me with a strong foundation. My family shaped who I am, supported me unconditionally, and teach me valuable life lessons.
