My name is Kyle Trever E. Mensidor. I’m 21 years old, born on November 8, 2003. Life has never been easy, but every challenge has helped shape the person I’ve become.

When I was just two years old, my parents separated. Even though they went their own ways, my father continued to support me financially. I grew up knowing that love can still exist even when families aren’t whole.

I grew up in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental. I lived with my mother while my father was in Cebu as a working student. But honestly, it was my lola (grandmother) who raised me. My mother was also juggling work and school at the time, so I mostly saw her only at night.

Despite our situation, I’ve always been proud of my parents. They both worked hard in their own ways, and I admire their sacrifices even if we weren't together under one roof.

I am currently in my second year of college, taking up Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM). I chose this course because of my passion for cooking and baking. Making bread and preparing food has always made me happy, and I want to turn that passion into a career.

Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing billiards, drawing, reading, and playing the guitar. Lately, I’ve been focusing more on cooking and baking because it's not only part of my studies but also something that brings me genuine joy. It’s one of the things that makes me feel most alive.

What are some of the challenges I’ve faced in life?

One major challenge I faced was choosing where to study for college whether to stay with my mother in Mindanao or go to Cebu with my father. I decided to go to Cebu because I knew my mother couldn’t support me financially, especially with many siblings depending on her.

It wasn’t an easy decision. Leaving her side broke my heart, but I had to think about my future.

People often think I’m rich because of how I spend money but in reality, we’re not. What they don’t know is that I earn my own money through a small, secret side job. It’s funny how people judge based on appearances without knowing the full story.

To be honest, I’m still figuring that out. But one thing I’ve learned so far is that life is about being strong, staying wise, and making hard decisions for the sake of your future—even if it means setting aside your feelings for now.
