“Hey there! This is Murph, short for Murphy, for those who haven't met me yet. I am actually an outdoorsy person who loves to travel and explore the world. I enjoy immersing myself in different environments, meeting new people, creating memories, expanding my personal growth, and gaining new insights. Though I'm quite meek and shy, I'm currently working on overcoming it. I have gradually started to voice myself and slowly come out of my shell.”

"I am originally from Mindanao, specifically Davao del Sur, where I was born. However, I was raised here in Cebu. My parents made the decision to move here because my father's work is in Cebu, and they didn't want to be apart. Initially, I was reluctant to come here since I was very close to my grandparents. However, I had no choice but to follow my parents. In retrospect, it turned out to be a good idea because I have learned a lot, especially about the different places and my relatives here."

"As far as I can remember, I didn't attend a daycare program when I was a child and went straight to kindergarten. When we moved to Cebu, some teachers wouldn't allow me to proceed to first grade due to my age. They wanted me to go back to kindergarten, but I firmly declined. I completed my elementary education at Olivo Elementary School. For my secondary education, I attended the nearest secondary school, Juan Pamplona National High School. During my senior years, I pursued the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) Strand with a major in Cookery. I completed both my junior and senior high school years at JPNHS. Currently, I am enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management Program at Cebu Technological University - Tabuelan Extension Campus."

"I have a variety of things that I really enjoy doing, especially during my free time. Some of the activities I love include:

Reading: Novels and manhwa comics provide an escape from reality for me. They are the best therapy when I'm stressed because they keep me entertained. Reading has enhanced my comprehension skills, imagination, and vocabulary. I also enjoy reading UCFB Confessions on their Facebook page and occasionally listen to their YouTube channel.

Playing Sudoku: Ever since my mom introduced Sudoku to me in 3rd grade, I've become addicted to it. Every morning, I eagerly wait for my uncle to finish reading the newspaper so that I can solve the Sudoku puzzles, fearing that my mom might take it before I get the chance.

Cooking: I often engage in cooking activities with my parents. During every occasion, I observe them cooking together in the kitchen. When they noticed my eagerness to learn, they started training me as well.

Drawing and Painting: Drawing and painting bring me immense joy. However, there are times when I lack motivation, and my body and brain don't cooperate. But when I'm motivated, I allocate time to complete my artwork.

Hanging out with friends: Whenever we have free time, I love to hang out with my friends and go on food trips."

"My proudest accomplishment is an experience from my 12th-grade year, which stands as my biggest and proudest achievement thus far. During our final defense, our research paper was accepted and defended smoothly, despite all the circumstances I had faced. The journey at that time was quite tough. It was my first encounter with severe frustrations because my other group mates didnt know how to make it and always dependent. I faced pressure and struggled to manage between school and household chores. Countless sleepless nights and tears were spent. I even reached a point where I told my teacher I wanted to give up and not continue my studies. Although it was only one subject, it had a significant impact on me as I initially had little understanding of what research entailed. However, as I gradually grasped its purpose along the way, it drove me to pursue what I had started. I also came to realize that experiencing such challenges is normal for graduating students, especially when taking on a leadership role. It's not always easy, and there are rocky roads to navigate. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that after overcoming the hardships, one gains wonderful and fruitful moments. Currently, I'm striving hard to learn more and preparing for my next research paper soon."

"One of the biggest challenges I've faced in my life is my current situation. As the eldest daughter, I have taken on the responsibility of caring for my siblings since my parents work far away. Despite not having children of my own, I have suddenly become a mother figure to them. Raising them, especially my youngest sister, has been incredibly difficult. She was only one year old when our mom decided to work abroad six years ago. I have to be mindful of my actions because they easily imitate me. Balancing my studies and taking care of them has been a constant struggle. There are times when I arrive at school late because I need to ensure they have something to eat for lunch and take their vitamins. I worry about them falling ill, as it becomes extremely challenging for me to manage everything when they are sick. I also have to remind them about answering their modules, while I'm at school, and I assign them tasks such as bathing and taking afternoon naps while making sure they don't wander around, especially on the streets or in the mountains. Sometimes, I wonder what the future holds for these kids since I am the one primarily caring for them. At times, I sense a hint of jealousy in them towards their friends whose parents are always present for them. However, I always make time for them whenever they have events at school, so they don't feel sad or left out."

"The challenges of taking care of my siblings while balancing my responsibilities in school have undoubtedly shape me as a person in many ways. I became more thoughtful and mature now despite my young age. I learned how to prioritize which task I should do first, I also know how to budget making sure ill meet their needs financially.  Being there for them during their low and happy times. Dealing with different situations and challenges today help me become good at finding solutions and adjusting to new circumstances. Although sometimes I really want leave because I’m really tired but I choose to stay strong, keep going, and wont easily give up for them. Those challenges that I experience have made me become caring, responsible, perseverance, and determined person right now."

"As an aspiring future hotelier, I will work hard today to finish my studies so that my future self will thank me. I plan to apply abroad, or perhaps gain experience working in the cruise line industry after gaining experience in land-based hotels. I aim to repay my parents' hardships by providing for their needs and ensuring my siblings can pursue the education and courses they desire. It is my priority to create a comfortable life for my parents before establishing my own future."

"Let me tell you some interesting thing about me that you might not know. Even though I enjoy swimming in the ocean, I get scared when I swim alone because once I saw a sea snake. It frightened me so much that I immediately got out of the water and went straight home. After that experience, it took me a long time, around a few months, to feel comfortable swimming in the ocean again."

"My philosophy in life is that we are the authors of our own stories. Every choice we make carries consequences that we must face. So, it is important to seize the opportunities presented to us today, making sure that our future selves will thank for. The actions and decisions we take in the present shape the path we walk in the future. By making the most of today, we can create a positive ripple effect that will resonate in our future endeavors. We must always remember that the choices we make today have the power to influence the outcomes of our personal narratives."
