I grew up in Louisville, KY in the Highlands area. I lived in two separate households with my mom and dad. I have learned many things from my city, and I have done a lot in the city that has shaped who I am.

My family is something that is important and impactful on my life. They have been there from birth to present and have been very influential on who I am today. They have helped me push forward in challenging times and always love and support me in anything I do.

My friends are a huge part of my environment. These are people I talk to every day, and we are all on different journeys in life. We help each other succeed and give advice where we can. My friends are important to me and have helped me find my identity.

My culture is something that has shaped my values and identity. I am Filipino and we have vast distinct cultural aspects that have influenced and shaped who I am. I have been back to the country once and the environment there is much different from here in the U.S. I take pride in my culture, and it has helped teach me what I use today.
