Except for my parents, I am honestly thankful to have a lot of people around me that influenced me in the most unimaginable way. There is my very supportive cousin, Jeneveb Gengoba who is always ready to help me in my struggles in life and she inspired me to become a woman not a girl who can stand alone without a man and can know how to face struggles bravely and without any fear. My Mommy Odeth, who inspired me to enjoy life to its fullest without the fear of overdoing it since being young isn't forever.

What is my philosophy in life?

"Living life to its fullest and not carrying about what others may say about my decisions in life, because at the end of the day it's my life and not theirs to live."

What are some fun facts about myself that others may not know?

Well others don't know that I am also a shy type of person which they sometimes misunderstood as me being snobbish towards them. And there are only limited people who know that I can do beat box (by using my mouth).

What are some of my future goals and aspirations?

My number one goal in life is to provide a better life for my parents and to finish my studies to be able to do that. I also want to travel around the world and mostly in my favourite destinations such as Korea, Japan, and Australia.

What are some of the challenges I've faced in life? & How have these challenges shaped me as a person?

Well there are many but the most difficult one was when I needed to choose between my Father and my Mother. They had a really big fight and it caused a big scene in our family including my Fathers side. Thankfully the problem was talked out and thanks to God my parents didn't got divorce.

Since that day, it made me change how I think, act, and be cautious about everything that is around me. But all the changes were in a good way, since those challenges shaped me as a person of who I am today.

What are some of my proudest accomplishments?

When I accidentally joined a training program here in Poblacion, which is for the second batch of the aspiring tour guides of the Municipality of Tuburan. But thankfully I succeeded in the 7 days of training, far from my family for the first time and without being home sick. And also received an award after the evaluation for being the most outstanding awardee.

Where did I grow up?

I grew up from the land of Jagbuaya which is also part of Tuburan. We live in a compound type of setting where my Tita's and Tito's (my Fathers side) houses are just neighboring us, since the land is owned by my Mommy. Here in Jagbuaya you can also visit one of the most famous tourist spot of Tuburan which is the Dao Tree. Which is also a walking distance from our house.
