I found out that I shouldn’t change myself just because of someone else, I should only limit it.

2. What are your core strengths?

I think my core strength is being optimistic. Even though sometime I rant about not being good enough at the certain types of multimedia, I find some time to improve on it even outside of classes. I also think that this load of school works is a practice for me in the future where mistakes are not acceptable.

3. What do you consider as your weaknesses, abilities, and talents?

My strengths can be my weaknesses too; one example is having a brutally honest personality. Sometimes truth hurts but lying can’t change the truth, I tell the truth to my friends even though it will hurt them, and that’s the reason why some people can’t tolerate me and my ‘toxic’ personality.

4. What are the remedies you will take to improve or compensate for your weaknesses?

I reflect on it, and I will ask them for forgiveness if ever they are offended.

5. Where and how do you use it to your best advantage?

I tell the truth when I need to because sometimes a slap to reality is a wake-up call to a person’s insanity. I usually confront my friends too if ever they did something offending because I want them to realize their mistakes, and I wish that they do it to me too so that I know if what I’m doing is right or wrong.

      
The theme of my life is “Lost and Found” because I lost myself in trying to find myself in the wrong people and things in the past. I also the chance of growing up with a father but it all changed when I found God, because after finding Him, everything else was a realization and a chance for me to find the things that I thought I lost permanently.

2.    Identify the turning points in your timeline. What were the thoughts, feelings and actions that you experienced?

The turning point of my life is when I was in grade 6 because I thought everything was falling apart, but it was actually falling to the right places. I realized all of these after graduating from St. Scholastica’s College because transferring to iAcademy turned my life for the better. I didn’t move on from my past, but instead of looking at it as a nightmare, I saw it as a blessing. Looking back it now, I’m glad I live and survived and I have found God. I want to help others, who experienced the same fate as me and lost themselves, to find themselves and I will achieve that through God.

3.    Who are/were the most significant people in your life? How did they influence you?     

First is Hanieng, because she was the first friend to tolerate and accept me for who I am. She’ was always there for me when I needed an assurance, or when I needed someone to let me love life again. Second is my spiritual family, who has showed me God and His powerful Love. They inspired me to be stronger and to never let anyone or anything bring me down because God is with me. Third is my MMA-11A classmates, because of they taught me how to accept my weirdness, and be happy about it even If I am judged or not. Fourth is my parents who was my inspiration to work harder so that I can give back to them. And Lastly, God. Because He was the one who gave this people to me and He is the one who stayed besides me even though I haven’t found Him yet.

4.    What would you change or add, if you could? How would each of these changes or additions affect your life, or even change its present course?

I won’t change anything because my past hardships and current blessings is the proof of God’s existence in my life.

5. Where do you want to be in a year, 5 years, and 10 years? What do you expect your future timeline will be?

Years from now, I see myself as a person filled with blessings and I will share all of these blessings to others who need it. I guess my timeline will depend on God's plans for me.
