As you can see, my smile couldn’t be any wider — a reflection of my excitement! This photo was taken in Rizal, just moments before the UNP bus took us to the airport 

In this photo, I was already feeling a whirlwind of emotions — fear, excitement, but most of all, happiness. It was my first time traveling alone, without my family by my side. Yet, in that moment, I realized something powerful: I am capable of venturing out on my own. I am now taking bold steps toward chasing my dreams.
