My Growing Up Story

My childhood was molded in the beautiful place of El Nido, Palawan, where I created precious memories that will always be a part of who I am.

I started my secondary education in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was not an easy journey, but through perseverance, faith, and God’s grace, I made it through with flying colors.

I then transferred to Puerto Princesa City to continue my Senior High School journey, away from my parents and my only brother. For two years, I faced many challenges—hectic schedules, countless reportings, projects, and moments when I felt tired and overwhelmed. But God never left my side. He gave me the strength, wisdom, courage, and guidance I needed to keep going and finally reach the finish line.

Now, as I begin my first year of college, I am filled with gratitude. I thank the Lord for bringing me this far and for blessing me with loving parents and a grandmother who continue to support, encourage, and walk with me throughout this journey.

This is another beautiful chapter of my life, and I know there will be more challenges ahead. But with God as my guide and my family by my side, I am ready to face whatever comes my way.

To God be all the glory!
Here’s to new beginnings, bigger dreams, and a beautiful journey ahead.
