Unpredictable Adventure

Ever since primary school until secondary and senior high, I always join girls scout encampment either school, district, and congressional. I love the feeling of discovering new things, girl power, discipline, adventures, and fun in meeting new people. It's more than the badge, pins, certificates that excites me but the quest for self, the memories, and the values shared that changed me. The development and growth it aims that help girls be women with confidence and independence willing to serve her family, her society and her country. Joining activities like this strengthen my courage, it teaches me to risk, to go out of my comfort zone, a training ground for me to face the real world's toughest mission.

I haven' thought of being part of the Supreme Student Government (SSG) when I entered high school yet here are my photos showing that I was after all had been one of them. Since the beginning of junior high school until senior high school, I was there. Campaign here and there, oath takings, programs, meetings, activities, planning, anything that represents the student body. I started as a grade level representative to vice president position.

The journey was tough. The feedback from teachers and students were sometimes suffocating and disappointing but what's good in that was it made me and the organization better. From a mere student to officer then to leading the officers was a great transition of my high school leadership skills. The experience didn't just gave me memories but most of all morals. It hones my leadership skills and interpersonal ability. In fact, I've joined several leadership programs wherein it was truly amazing. I shared everything I could to my fellow officers and show them my learnings, the strategies and all.

Being part of the organization gives me so much opportunities and learnings that I'll forever apply in school and in life. Life is tough, so am I.

Academic life wouldn't be complete without these bunch of people whose been fighting the same battle as I do, from strangers to classmates to friends. Our goal is to finish, wear that toga and make our parents proud at the same a one way closer to achieve our dreams. These photos are taken after our research paper defense, our most funny and memorable roleplay, and our last tree planting. Each photos holds close memories in my heart that I'll forever keep. The process of knowing myself and where to excel at the same time to develop friendship with other peers is a journey no one can steal from me.

School doesn't merely teach me lessons of grammar, atoms, history, numbers but also it teaches me how to survive the real and complicated world. Which is to bond, to grow outside the four walls, to discover myself, and to make relationship that will help me blend and adjust when my problems are no longer thesis, or assignments.

Life told me that I shouldn't let schooling interfere who am I because I am not going to be a student forever. Thus, I vibe and learn with school so that when time comes, the hard work and friendship I built in there will tell me, "you did great, cheers to the memories".

So far, here are some of my outputs that I considered best in college. Comparing my work in 1st year and today, I can really see a progress. The process of creating an output without a template and recreating famous artworks then editing it using online softwares is a big struggle for me. It may be just normal output for some students or even professors but the amount of tears, sleepless nights, and the skipped meals I did just to finish it was beyond the line that sometimes my body think of giving up. Anyways, that's life; your struggles determine your successes. I hope my profs appreciate my work like I do.
