2021- Present

Once upon a time there was an ambitious dreamer lived at Brgy. Bigaa Legazpi City. This young lady, who is only 20 years old, possesses an amazing range of abilities. Her commitment to studying and participating in a variety of educational activities shows how much she loves to learn. She showed an early desire to learn, enthusiastically exploring new areas and subjects. Her love of learning enhances her life and encourages everyone around her to appreciate the benefits of education.

Apart from her academic endeavors, she is also friendly that make her likable to others. She was born last May 27, 2003 exactly 3:00 a.m in the morning. When she was 9 months old her parent left her with her grandparents because of the distance of their working place. She was raised in her grandparents' loving household, where she learned the importance of compassion and generosity.

When she was just 15, she started her own little sari-sari store—a testament to her enterprising spirit and determination to secure her financial independence. Through hard work and perseverance, her business has flourished over the years. It started small but grew bigger over time, this is the fruit of her hard work knowing that managing a business and striving in education in the same way is not easy for a young lady. But she's not stopping there—she dreams of becoming a teacher for little kids one day.  She was dedicated to achieving her dream not just for herself but also for her dreams for her family. Despite facing challenges early in life, such as being raised by her grandparents after her mother's heavy decision to left her when she was just nine months old, she has forged ahead with resilience and determination. This upbringing instilled in her a sense of independence and responsibility, qualities that have only strengthened over time. 

Now she is dreaming high and working hard to finish her study but for now her major concern in to enhance further her knowledge and skills and turn it into action when she became a teacher in future.

There can be no learning without action, and no action without learning a simple quote of Reg Revans that is very important to me as it reminds me of learning with a purpose and not just to graduate and for the grade because what is the purpose of learning without converting it into action. My experiences throughout t my life goes up and down. But through my positive perspectives in life, I'm still in the path that I choose, and I fight for but I'm not in this place without a help of my family and friends who share their care and heartfelt support just to boost my strength and look for the brighter side despite of the challenges that hinder my way to success. this quote also entails the essence of the action learning approach, emphasizing the interdependence of learning and taking action in a continuous cycle of improvement and growth. 

Additionally, learning may take a long process based on how difficult the concept is but I believe that if you value the reason why you need to learn it. It may be hard, but you if give a try and have patience in learning there's no impossible if you believe and take action. My experiences in life serve as my steppingstone in every decision that I made and in every path that I take. There's no such perfect for everything there will be always a downfall. when I'm struggling and life gets tough, I believe that it's important to stay strong and keep going. Try to find ways to deal with problems and stay positive. Set small goals for yourself that you can achieve, even if things seem hard. Remember, it's okay to ask for help from friends and family when you need it. Focus on what you can change, and be thankful for the good things in your life. By staying strong, being kind to yourself, and leaning on others, you can get through tough times and keep moving forward. Actually, this is the reason why I get over with the challenges I encountered. 

Now I am happy for what I have and I want to dream deeper and wake us someday to use and actualize what I've learned in life.

Here are some common skills that I also have but not yet enhanced fully.

1. Effective Communication Skills 

2. Problem Solving

3. Critical Thinking

4. Time Management

5. Creative in my own way

6. Financially Literate

I do believe that it's good to remember that every individual is unique in nature, and skills can be developed and enhance over time of course by learning, practicing and through life experiences that mold us to be strong to face the challenges of life. Our environment, the societal expectations and influences of others may contribute in shaping our skills and interest.
