What is your biggest strength and how has it helped you in your life?

My family and determination are my greatest sources of strength in life. My family has always been the one behind any success I achieve, and it would be my greatest honor to repay them by doing my absolute best in life, such as in academics and various competitions.

What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself and why?

One thing I wish I could change about myself is my tendency to be too hard on myself sometimes. I often set very high standards for myself, which can be overwhelming at times.

What has been your biggest failure and what did you learn from it?

My biggest failure was not winning first place in a competition this year. However, I learned that failure is a part of growth, and it motivated me to practice even harder and improve my skills.

How do you manage stress and stay focused during challenging times?

To manage stress, I take breaks to do things I love, like dancing, reading, or spending time with friends and family. I also prioritize tasks and create a schedule to stay organized and focused.

How do you define success and what are your goals to achieve it?

Success, to me, is achieving my goals while maintaining a balance in all aspects of life—academics, personal growth, relationships, and hobbies. My goal is to continue excelling academically, win more competitions, and make meaningful connections with others.

What is your favorite quote and why does it resonate with you?

My favorite quote is “Be as you wish to seem.” It resonates with me because it reminds me of the importance of authenticity and being true to myself in all aspects of life. In order for me to continue growing, I must love myself and embrace every part of me.

What is one thing you have done that you are most proud of and why?

I am most proud of winning a runway competition last year (Cebu Ultimate Catwalk Superstar) because of everyone’s help, especially my mother’s guidance and support. It was a team effort that showcased not just my skills but also the love and support of those around me.

What is your biggest fear and how do you overcome it?

My biggest fear is not living up to my own expectations. With each accomplishment, I am driven to climb even greater heights. I do not want to fail in any aspect of life; however, failure is inevitable. Without failure, I would be unable to grow and learn. Failure is a step toward success.

How do you maintain a healthy work-life balance?

I maintain a healthy work-life balance by prioritizing self-care, setting boundaries, and allocating time for both my academic pursuits and hobbies.

What is one thing you want to achieve in the next five years and how do you plan to make it happen?

In the next five years, I want to compete in dancesport competitions, maybe other pageant competitions too, and pursue higher education in a field I’m passionate about. I plan to achieve this by continuing to work hard, seek mentorship, and seize opportunities for growth and learning.
