To give a brief overview, I am the "many hobbies but never mastered" type of person. My family was the one who encouraged me to develop the talents God has given me. I joined an MTAP competition back in grade 2, I believe. I enrolled in a dance class when I was in 3rd grade, voice lessons in 5th grade, and a keyboard/piano workshop in 6th grade. During high school, I started playing in our chapel and during prayer gatherings in our neighborhood's homes, and also joined school performances and an interschool competition with my classmates. Music has been part of my everyday life. When I do chores, even take a bath, or do assignments, I listen to music. While listening, I get to sing, and I love it. I am also active in social media, and I see different trends such as new TikTok dances and other contemporary dances, so I indulge in learning some. When I have nothing to do, I get my keyboard or my brother's guitar just to learn new songs or play and sing the songs I love. Besides that, I also enjoy watching K-dramas and by far my favorite is the "Alchemy of Souls". It's a fantasy drama but I also watch genres like thriller, romcom, action, and medical. Fun fact, one reason why I watch a certain drama or movie is because my favorite actors are there or the casts are full of face cards. Moreover, I love to go to different places and try new foods. I love beaches so much that I get a very satisfying yet different feeling in my heart when I get to see the ocean.

My family is my biggest inspiration in everything I do. They're my support system together with my friends who always motivate me and remind me that I am capable of doing things. Above everything, I always ask God for guidance to help me overcome whatever hardships and challenges I may face.

When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher. Until I realized I am not fond of children, and I am not very patient in teaching. In the latter years, I developed an interest in science, particularly human anatomy, and topics like human illnesses, etc. Right now, I am taking up the Pre-Science strand as a preparation for my course in mind which is BS in MedTech although that is not yet my final decision. I've always wanted to be a doctor, but every time someone asks me what specific profession I want, I say "I don't know". One reason behind my thinking of taking the MedTech course is that it is a good pre-med course if I still want to continue studying but if not, my job would be a medical technologist. Anyhow, my parents aren't contrary to my decision, but my mom wants me to be a nurse somehow.

My main goal in life is to be rich and happy. I want to feel the contentment and fulfillment of my life. I want to think that someday, all my dreams will be true. One of them is to make my parents proud and happy by giving them everything they want as much as I can. I am studying hard for them and God, for whatever purpose He's planning for me.

I don't know a specific word to describe my personality. I don't approach people first unless I am close to them. I enjoy company but I love spending time alone doing my leisure things. I laugh a lot but differently depending on who I am with. I like the thought of having my "me time", because I get to reflect on things and also give myself a rest.

I love the color Red, cheetah prints, R&B, jazz, Korean dramas, dogs, makeup, perfumes, the beach, the sunset, matcha, coffee, cold weather, traveling, cooking, ice cream, and more.

I am not a fan of sinigang, vegetables, isaw, dinuguan, carbonara, and more which I can't think of at the moment.

I dislike noisy and crowded places, slow walkers, attention seekers, people who keep asking the same questions, people cancelling plans last minute, when people talk to me when I'm in a bad mood, when I'm breaking out, and when I don't feel myself.

Hi! Let me introduce myself first. My full name is Jean Carmel de Vera Aleria. My friends usually call me "Jean", but my family calls me "Jeca/Jec" short for Jean Carmel. I was born on August 15, 2008, as a Leo baby. I was born and raised here in Davao City. Growing up, I was a timid girl. Through God's guidance, I was doing very well in my studies. In elementary, I was a very competitive student. I joined every possible event, workshop, and competition that I was able to be part of. During my elementary graduation, I could've delivered a valedictory speech, but we got into a lockdown, so it was only uploaded on Facebook, and that one event was a lost opportunity for me. When the pandemic hit, I was in my first year of high school. There were adjustments due to the switch from traditional face-to-face classes to online learning. And that's when my 'competitive self' was slowly fading. The "it's okay as long as I am on the honor's list" era but deep inside me, I wanted to still be on top. As years went by, my 'top 1' mentality was neglected. The most important thing is that I know I did what I could, and as our father had told us, "It does not matter whether you top it or not, what's important is that the learnings you gain remain within you. Until now, I've been doing good but the pressure I constantly give to myself retains as I never experienced a failing grade and that would be the death of me. Hopefully, in my last year of senior high school, I will never experience it in Jesus' name.

Overall Reflection for Personal Development

1. Was the subject Personal Development helpful for you? How did this subject help you know yourself more?

Yes. I could say this subject is essential for every student, especially for graduating learners like me. Personal Development has made me realize many things about myself, others, and the world around me. It fostered an environment for me to learn more about myself from a deeper perspective, including both the positive and negative aspects of myself. Positive because it helped me know about myself more, including my attitudes, personality, and perspectives. On the other hand, I also fathomed how my actions affect others and how I can adjust to become a better person.

2. What were your key takeaways from the subject?

Overall, this subject was very meaningful for me. From remembering my past self, understanding my present self, and learning for my future self. All the topics were relatable and are encountered daily in our lives, giving me knowledge about what those certain things are. The best thing is that the subject in general touched my heart and mind, as the topics did not solely focus on oneself, but also on the relationships we have with the people around us.

3. What two topics were your favorites and why?

My two favorite topics were the first and last topics, namely 'Knowing Oneself' and 'Career Pathways'. I believe that these two topics are closely interconnected. The first topic began with an activity that involved personality tests, which helped me recognize myself more clearly, including my characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as how I behave in certain situations. Whereas the second topic was a good foundation in preparation for college, which is fast approaching. With the latest activities given, I've discovered my interests, skills, and strengths as a person, which has helped me decide on my future career. All in all, the topics 'Knowing Oneself' and 'Career Pathways' led to a deep understanding of myself.
