Graduating high school with honors was a huge personal victory – all those late nights studying finally paid off! Getting into CTU Tuburan, after navigating the entrance exam and interview, felt like a real breakthrough. But the best part? Seeing the pride on my parents' faces – that's the ultimate reward.

One of the biggest challenges I've faced is financial instability. Growing up, money was always tight, and that pressure has only intensified now that I'm in college. Knowing that many things are dependent on having enough money to cover my allowance, expenses in school and living expenses adds a layer of stress to my academic life. It's taught me the value of resourcefulness and hard work, but it's certainly been a difficult lesson to learn.

HOW OF THESE CHALLENGES SHAPED ME AS A PERSON?

Going through tough times with money has made me tougher and more resourceful. I've learned to work hard, budget carefully, and even find ways to earn extra cash. It's not easy, but it's taught me a lot about what's truly important, and I'm more understanding of others who are struggling too. It's been a hard lesson, but it's made me stronger.

I secretly love to sing and dance, even if I'm not the best dancer – it's all about having fun! I also have a huge soft spot for kids, and love hanging out with my younger cousins, even watching scary movies. Most people don't know I'm not a big fan of fish unless it's fried, and I'm not crazy about vegetables… unless I'm visiting someone else's house, then I'll eat them! Lastly, I run to god when everything is heavy.

WHAT IS MY PHILOSOPHY ON LIFE?

I just try to live life to the fullest, you know? It's about enjoying the little things – laughing with family, singing off-key, even trying new foods I might not normally like. I'm not afraid to be a little goofy and have fun, and I really value my relationships with the people I care about. I don't stress about being perfect; life's too short for that. It's more about embracing every moment, even the messy ones.

My two other brothers and my sister have also been constant sources of strength and companionship throughout my life. Their love and support are what truly inspire me.
