Upon transitioning to junior high school, I opted to take a brief hiatus from responsibilities during grade 7 to cope the transition between grade school to junior high school. Resuming my involvement in grade 8, I successfully ran for the position of student councilor and continued serving the student body. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, our commitment remained strong as we adapted to an online setup.

In grade 10, I elevated my leadership role by being elected as the student body government Vice-Mayor. Our organization actively engaged in volunteering, organizing events, and conducting workshops, including leadership sessions for fellow leaders. Despite unforeseen challenges, the fulfillment derived from contributing to our community, school, and the student body was immensely rewarding.

As an Atenean today, I embody sui generis leader, driven by the principle of magis. Leading with compassion, connecting with the community, and dedicating my service will always be my passion. I am here to serve!

While journalism and filmmaking may not be my ultimate career path, I'm savoring each moment of participation before graduating senior high school. Balancing competition involvement with academic and extracurricular commitments is a struggle, yet I recognize it as a valuable opportunity to establish myself, enhance my skills, and develop adaptability in group settings. Engaging with peers, fosters collaboration, social interaction, and the chance to forge new friendships.

During my childhood, I had a fondness for pondering thought-provoking questions, particularly those related to science. Questions like "What if Pangaea never occurred?" "What would happen if the world end?" "What if Jupiter swallowed Earth?" or "If the Earth is round, why aren't we in circles?"

As a curious child, I sought answers on my own, often immersing myself in YouTube videos that explained theories, hypothetical scenarios, and the wonders of science. One day, my grandfather asked me about my aspirations, and although I initially leaned towards becoming a chef due to my love for food and cooking, his suggestion of considering a career as a doctor intrigued me. At that time, I was unfamiliar what doctors really do, so I asked about their role. Our conversation then sparked my fascination as I envisioned extracting blood, examining specimens, and delving into the world of science, finding beauty in microscopic observations as if it was a form of artwork.

Throughout grade school, I actively participated in my science class, though my involvement waned during high school due to unforeseen challenges. Nevertheless, my passion endured. While my initial attraction stemmed from the quirky desire to handle human organs, I also felt a profound desire to fulfill my family's unfulfilled dream. Thus, I am committed to pursuing a career in medicine or science, opting for STEM pre-science despite the challenges I may encounter.

 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,  since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Why do I like these media?

• These medias are a direct reflection of my passions, interests, and hobbies. In essence, they serve as the foundation of my existence, providing sustenance and assistance throughout my daily life.

  
  

How are these media influencing or affecting me?

• Considering my answer above, I can affirm that these medias exert a positive influence on me by aligning with my lifestyle, aspirations, and contributing to my overall well-being. Nevertheless, there are potential drawbacks, particularly stress, as excessive consumption can be draining and occasionally lead to burnout. While these media sources bring me joy, it's imperative for me to practice self-discipline, especially when things start to become overwhelming.

Indeed! I feel blessed for the gifts bestowed upon me by God—supportive and loving family, an excellent support system, friends who aid each other in overcoming continuous challenges, and countless other blessings. I am immensely proud and grateful for being able to graduate junior high school with flying colors.

But hey, it's not all fun and games. I'm also the master of balancing joystick time with hitting the books. And when I'm not just busy having fun with my friends playing but, I'm also creating cool travel vlogs and telling stories through my camera lens. These medias? They're not just my pastime; they're my lifeline. Without them, I wouldn't be the Riah you see today.

Let's rewind to my glorious 6th-grade days—brace yourself, I went all out and joined a whopping five events! First up, there was the community dance. Then, I decided to channel my inner lady spiker and, guess what, we snagged the champion title. Next on the list was a spontaneous entry into table tennis; I got a crash course right before the game, and boom, I snagged the 1st place. Teamed up with a buddy for badminton doubles, we didn't clinch the victory, but we sure had a blast filling in for our house. Oh, and there was a spur-of-the-moment 50-meter track run where I landed 3rd because, well, nobody else dared to jump in. My coaches were all about throwing me into different events, and I couldn't say no—I was having too much fun!

Fast forward to 10th grade, and I led my squad to glory as the captain and pitcher in kickball. Yep, we snagged that champion title too! Who knew this artsy soul had a sports ace up her sleeve?
