- Childhood Years -
During my childhood my parents told me that I’m a very stubborn child.1 I often play around and get hurt.2 I always have a bump on my head and a wound on my face.3 My worst injury is a cut on my upper lip that still has a scar up to this day.4 I would often watch Spongeob Squarepants in the mornings and WWE on nights.5 I was raised to be independent because I was followed by my younger sister when I was just two years old.6 I was trained to watch tv on my own, sleep on my own, and I play alone with my PS1.7 I was not allowed to go out of the house and play with other children.8 I was so jealous of my neighbors who always play on the streets.9 I studied Kindergarten in Cubao Elementary School, I was not supposed to graduate but because of my parent’s great relationship with the school they allowed me to graduate.10 I studied Preparatory School in Stella Maris College.11 Again, I was not supposed to graduate because of my poor grades but because of the great relationship with my parents and the school they allowed me to. But during my Grade 1 to Grade 6 days everything changed.12 During these days I had an upbringing and my grades became better and better.13 I graduated Grade 6 with an honor, a feat that my past teachers and even my parents didn’t imagine.14 My childhood was not the most fun of all the childhoods.15 But I’m proud that I went through it.16 I was not allowed to play outside but I developed my love for video games that I made it a business today.17 I developed my sense of responsibility that I do not need anyone for me to live.18 I developed my love for myself because when I look at my past I could really say that I’m proud of myself.19 This is my childhood.20 It was not the best, it was not the most ideal.21 My life started rough but I'm happy because I would not be the person today if I did not go through everything that I went through.22

- Teenage Years -
In my teenage years, I was so curious about the Student Council of our school that is why I pursued it.1 During my grade 7 days I was appointed to be the Senior Patrol Leader of the School’s Boy Scouts.2 When I was in grade 8 I was elected as Class President.3 When I was in grade 9 I was elected as the Vice Governor of the Student Council.4 This is when I started my career as a leader.5 In the same year I was elected to be the Assistant Coordinator of the Parish Youth Ministry of our Parish in Cubao.6 This was a real eye opening experience for me.7 This is when I learned how to manage my time and manage all of the responsibilities that were set upon me.8 In the latter year I was elected with 4 positions, first being the Governor in our school which is the head of the School’s Student Council.9 Second, was again the Assistant Coordinator of the Parish Youth Ministry.10 Third, I became the Assistant Coordinator of the Ministry of Altar Servers.11 And finally I became the Media Ministry Head of the Vicariate Youth Ministry in the Diocese of Cubao.12 I’m not proud of this year of my life and I admit that I bit off more than I can chew.13 I was sick because of the stress of handling 4 different organizations all at the same time.14 The quality of work that I produced this year was mediocre.15 But I did my best in my school.16 During my reign as the Governor of the school I spearheaded a program called the PApel at LAPIs projecT (PALAPIT).17 This program aims to collect school supplies through the school’s monthly mass offerings.18 And chosen students will go to indigenous communities that need school supplies in their local schools.19 Also in my teenage years I met my first girlfriend.20 We lasted for more than a year but we broke up.21 My teenage years were my gateway to the real world.22

- College Years -
I started my college years during the pandemic.1 My first plan is to enroll at PATTS as an Aeronautical Engineer.2 But when the pandemic hit I observed that Aeronautical Engineers didn’t have a job.3 I also noticed that the online implementation of classes is still not good and my tuition fee will just get wasted.4 I also took this opportunity to rest and really think about my future.5 That is why I chose to enroll in BSIT.6 This is because I observed that during the pandemic they have great jobs.7 It means the BSIT course is pandemic proof, therefore future proof.8 I was hesitant to enroll in BSIT but so far I’m enjoying it.9 I also volunteered as an officer in COMSSO.10 I started as an Assistant Vice President for Seminars right now.11 I'm currently the Vice President for Internal Affairs.12 My college year started because we are the first batch to officially go to school on an online platform.13 The pandemic gave us a new experience and tested our resiliency in the problems that we face.14 So far I’m still not content with my college experience.15 I still want to do more things.16 I still want to achieve more things.17 My time with COMSSO is a gateway for the opportunities that will open for me here in my college days.18 My friends still have a lot of time to spend time and make memories together.19 We just have to make it count.20
