Hello! My name is Warren C. Villazana, but you can call me Abi Warren, as that’s how my students and fellow teachers addressed me at Perguruan Al-Amjad Islamic School. I am 22 years old and I come from Brgy. Bongloy, Dingle, Iloilo, Philippines. Currently, I am a 4th-year student taking up a Bachelor of Secondary Education, Major in Mathematics, at the Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology (Dingle Campus).

I first studied at St. Vincent College of Accountancy, Leganes Site, where I took up a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. However, due to family problems, specifically concerning my father’s health, I had to transfer to ISUFST Dingle Campus, which is only a 10-minute drive from my home. Looking back, I am thankful for this transfer because it has given me opportunities that have helped shape who I am today.

College of Education Student Council- P.C.O.
College of Education Student Council- P.C.O.
During my first year in college, I was elected as the P.C.O. of the College of Education Student Council. Even though I didn’t have any leadership experience, I grabbed the opportunity to serve as much as I could. Throughout our term, I learned many things from my co-officers, and eventually, I was chosen to attend the leadership training program “Kampsama.” It was there that people saw something in me that made me realize my true purpose to become a good leader.

When the next election approached, one of my teachers encouraged me to run for the University Student Council. During recruitment, I was chosen as one of the candidates for senator. At first, I hesitated and doubted whether I could handle the responsibility, but after reflecting, I accepted the challenge. I ran for senator, won the election, and served during my second year in college. I was grateful for the trust of those who believed in me.

This passion for leadership and service also strengthened my confidence to step outside my comfort zone. I realized that leadership is not only about serving within the school but also about embracing opportunities that can broaden my perspective as a future educator. It was this mindset that inspired me to take on a bigger challenge joining the SEA-Teacher Program.

I am someone eager for change, challenges, growth, and new experiences which led me to join the SEA-Teacher Program. Before saying “yes,” I worried most about financial concerns. Fortunately, my family and relatives immediately supported me, not only by helping with expenses but also by reminding me why this program was important and giving me advice that guided me throughout the journey.

I joined the SEA-Teacher Program because I wanted to grow both professionally and personally through international exposure and experience. I took the risk and grabbed the opportunity that could change my future, knowing it would help me improve my teaching styles and strategies. At the same time, I was eager to immerse myself in another culture not only to appreciate our differences but also to discover the similarities that connect us. I believe this experience will truly shape my future as both an educator and an individual.

Looking back on my journey, from my humble beginnings to my leadership experiences and eventually joining the SEA-Teacher Program, I can truly say that each step brought me closer to discovering who I am meant to be. The program did not only give me international exposure, but it also allowed me to embrace challenges, celebrate growth, and see teaching from a broader perspective. Through this journey, I am not just learning how to be a teacher I am SEA-ing my purpose, both as an educator and as an individual committed to making a difference.
