Hi! My name is Jia Lexine Li M. Tan. My family calls me "Ya" short for Jia, while my friends call me "Jeya" or "Dams" which are nicknames made by them.

In our family, I am the oldest. My two siblings are Zanya, who is the middle kid, and Lian, who is the youngest.

WHAT MAKES ME STAND OUT FROM MY PEERS?

jllmtan — 2022-07-29 15:06:42 UTC

I believe that my flexibility sets me apart from my contemporaries. Not physically, but in a way that allows me to quickly adapt to the situation. As a result, I have no trouble making friends because I know how to modify my behavior to suit others. I can be that kind of friend for that one individual if they want someone quiet. I can be that kind of friend if that one individual desires a "kaladkarin" friend. I can be any kind of buddy they wish to have while still being me.

WHO'S MY COMMUNITY?

My community consists of my siblings and pals. They are the ones that I want to positively influence. I want my siblings to mature with an understanding and an open mind, just like I did. Likewise, it is for my buddies. I want to persuade children to act morally, just like I do. Since individuals have every right to hold their own views and beliefs, I don't expect them to share my precise views and opinions. Instead, I aim to persuade them to have same perspective that I have.

WHAT ARE MY VALUES?

jllmtan — 2022-07-29 15:51:11 UTC

I have several values that I uphold. However, these are my top 5:

1.Courage- Doing what you think needs to be done requires courage, not in the absence of fear but rather in the face of it. I think that in order to overcome any issue we encounter, we must all possess courage.

2. Kindness – Kindness is about treating others the way you would like to be treated. I have always had the belief that you should not harm people if you do not want to go through the same thing.

3.Patience - You can practice patience by putting yourself in the other person's shoes, attempting to see the situation from their perspective, and responding with kindness and consideration when they are annoying you, taking up your time or attention from something you want to finish, or otherwise making your life more difficult.

4. Being sincere about who you are is being authentic. It entails telling your truth in an open and honest manner rather than hiding out of concern for criticism or judgment, which will always come. Being genuine to oneself and others, in my opinion, is essential. Avoiding other people will only get you into problems.

5. Openness - You're open to meeting new people and experiencing new things. Enjoy and make the most of your life because you only get one. We all need to move outside our comfort zones and attempt something new.

WHAT'S MY ULTIMATE CAREER GOALS?

jllmtan — 2022-07-29 15:53:34 UTC

I haven't really think of specific career path I'll take. But one thing is for sure, I want to help people. So I am eyeing on being a Social worker someday.

WHO INSPIRES ME?

jllmtan — 2022-07-29 15:56:50 UTC

My mom is the one who inspires me. Well for starters, she is a single mom. She works 3 jobs just to provide for our needs. She inspires me to become more independent and more stronger. She is our personal hero. <3

WHAT BRINGS ME JOY?

jllmtan — 2022-07-29 15:59:12 UTC

CATS. They bring me so much joy in life. I think my main purpose here on Earth is to rescue cats and love them unconditionally.

WHAT'S MY SUPERPOWER?

jllmtan — 2022-07-29 16:04:13 UTC

I think this will be a strange one, but I can endure my allergic rhinitis. I am very allergic to any furry animal. Yet, we have 12 cats living in our house. Almost everyday I suffer from my allergic rhinitis. I'll woke up with a very puffy face, runny nose, and itchy throat. But I don't really mind, as long as all of our rescued cats feel loved then I don't care about my allergies.

WHAT DO I ADVOCATE FOR?

jllmtan — 2022-07-29 16:12:18 UTC

I support many causes, particularly those from which I personally can benefit and those that are connected to me. such as the rights of women and children. Since many people in my community harm animals, I also support animal rights. All in all, I support initiatives that benefit the people in the group we referred to as "nasa laylayan ng lipunan."

That's all, thank you!
