A Portrait of Yourself

The best thing I ever did was when I decided to join our school theater in junior high.
Having the chance to be a part of the school play and be one of the performers in our
school play gives me an opportunity to showcase my talents to my schoolmates, boosting
my self-esteem and building my confidence. These experiences enable me to improve my
skills and talent and to learn valuable knowledge and lessons that I can equip that would
be beneficial for me in the future.

I wish I could lose my fear of the ocean or other large, deep bodies of water. Ever
since a traumatic event occurred to me that involves water, I developed a phobia because
of it, and every time I see an ocean or deep bodies of Water I feel scared and anxious,
and that traumatic event haunts me. But someday, I want to face this fear of the ocean
starting with learning how to swim and lastly to explore the ocean.

I have the talent to act. Other than singing and dancing, I also have an interest in
acting. I love performing on stage because acting helps me become more professional,
helps me to build my confidence, boosts my self-esteem, improves my public speaking
skills, and inspires me to become more active. Lastly, acting allows me to express my
imaginative mind.

I enjoy people/someone who shares the same interest as me. Sharing the same
interest with someone for me makes a stronger bond, as it enables us to be more
connected, helps us to have a deeper understanding, and give us insight into each other.
Overall, sharing the same interest make life easier for everyone.

The person I admire the most is my mother. She sacrifices her whole life to provide a
good life for us. She dedicated her life to raising us and becoming a good person. My
mom strives hard for us to have food on our plates, a roof over our heads, and to sustain
our needs. I don't know what my life would be without her. She inspires me to work hard
so I can provide a better life for my future family. I am very thankful for the effort she did
for us, and I cannot wait for the time when I can repay her.
 I feel most productive when I listen to music while performing a task. People may be
distracted working while listening to music. However, listening to music helps to reduce
stress and elevates my mood. It enables me to think more creatively and provides more
energy to perform and finish my tasks.

I am motivated by my parents as they became the reason why I am here in this world.
They both shaped me into what I am now as a person. They're one of my biggest
inspirations in life. They also inspired me in various ways. They inspired me to strive
harder in life. They also influenced me to dream big and achieve my goals in life. And to
serve as my guide to growing and improving my skills and talents, which would enable me
to become a better version of myself.

My idea of fun is when I spend time with my loved ones. My family and friends are my
inspiration in life, they drive me to become a better version of myself. Spending time with
them helps me in various ways, they become my energizer when I'm drained from work.
They help me forget my problems by just enjoying and creating good memories with them.

Work is exciting when I get the chance to learn and experience new things. Learning
new things helps me be more equipped with skills and drives me to be more productive
when performing my tasks. It helps me become more dedicated to my work and
determined to become a more hardworking employee to produce quality work. Through
these experiences, I can improve to become a better version of myself.

The best advice I ever got was to believe in yourself, I know it may sound cliche, but it
is one of the crucial pieces of advice I've ever received. Believing in yourself means
having faith in your capabilities and that you can do something within your ability. It drives
us to overcome self-doubt, boost our self-esteem and build confidence to make a move
and accomplish things. It enables us to start to move all sorts of psychological processes
that allow us to achieve our goals, manifest our dreams, and increase our well-being.
Overall, believing in ourselves can have a vital impact on us, and it can help us to become
the best version of ourselves by believing in ourselves.

The thing I value most is my Family. They shaped me to become the person I am
today. They accepted my true self, and they let me express my truth. Having the chance
to experience and tap into different things helped me grow and improve as a human
being. They are my source of strength, happiness, and inspiration from dreaming big for
myself. They're my everything.

It is easy for me to focus and decide my priorities in life. It is easy as I set things and
keep track of the important stuff where to focus and give my full attention. Setting my
priorities helps me to become better in various ways, It helps me to become more
productive by doing things according to my list, allows me to become more focused on the
crucial things and not be overwhelmed by them, It reduces stress and anxiety and overall
enables me to complete the things that are needed to accomplish according to the set
priorities.

My idea of a perfect life is when I can just be myself and not get discriminated against
because of my sexual orientation. It saddens me how the things I've worked hard on
getting devalued, and my skills, talents, and capabilities get ignored and almost unworthy
because of my sexuality. Living freely from discrimination can provide such good impacts
in various ways, as it helps me unlock my full potential. It improves my performance,
drives me to be more productive, expresses my skills and talent, and improves my well-
being. And to me, being free from discrimination for me is my ideal perfect life.

The best days for me are the day when I get to spend time with myself. Sometimes life
can be too much for me, and it always causes by my overworking, where to the point that
it drains me physically and mentally. That's why having the time where I can relax and
spend time with myself by watching my favorite series and movies, eating my favorite
foods, doing my hobbies, having enough sleep, and spoiling myself with the things I want.
It's okay sometimes to do these things as it helps us recharge our energies so we can get
back to work energized and perform our tasks well. Let's not forget to rest sometimes and
take care of ourselves all the time.

My dream is to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, and acquire

a stable job. Obtaining these can also help me to provide a better life for my family,
achieve my personal goals like spoiling myself and my family, traveling the world with my
best friends, I also dream to have a chance to pursue my other interest like Fashion
Designing by getting a bachelor’s degree in Fashion, Lastly, I want to build a Fashion
brand that promotes diversity and sustainability.

I've always wanted to become a Fashion designer. Ever since I was a kid, I've always
had an interest in creating artwork, but in the form of sketching women's garments. My
sources of ideas that inspired me in designing come from different aspects, the movies
I've watched, the music I love, the western artist that inspires me, and the things that
interested me. Designing outfits before is just a hobby for me, but I've realized I want to
pursue this career and make a living out of making garments for women.

I look forward to what the future holds for me. I am optimistic about what the future
brings for me. But one thing is for sure I would wholeheartedly accept my fate and
anything that the forthcoming would offer, even if it's bad or good because these things
are part of my journey here in this world. They will shape me and help me grow to become
the best version of myself. That's why I am ready to face the future confidently.

I spent too much time overthinking things. Overthinking is one of the traits that I don't
like about myself, as it gives me disadvantages like delaying my decision-making process
as I second guess everything. I tend to think negatively, which creates uncertainty and
doubts. And it takes a toll on mental health in general. It is one of the things I want to work
on as it has a massive impact on my well-being.

The thing my friends like about me is how supportive I am as a friend because I

always encourage them to express themselves and do the things they love. I push them to
face their fears and try something new and exciting. I advise them to be strong in facing
problems, inspire them to believe in themselves and their capabilities, and motivate them
to do good in what they're doing. Be available to be with them anytime they need a
companion and ask for life advice.

In a group, I like to share the same interest with everyone. Sharing the same interest
with my group will benefit us in many ways, It will make us connect and build a stronger
bond, and having different opinions and hobbies would enable us to have a deeper
understanding of each other and appreciate each other's differences. When we share the
same passion, we would help each other work towards our own goals and provide each
other's support. These things would make us a good team.

If I ever win a prize, it will be for being a hardworking person. I always put my blood,
sweat, and tears in performing a task. I am committed to the task at hand, and never let
anything get in my way. I value and take every opportunity as much as possible. I'm eager
to learn new things that would improve my performance and well-being, take criticism and
be inspired by it to become better, and I strive to provide quality work at all times.
