I am a recent high school graduate, having completed my studies in May 2025 with 25 credits. As the oldest of seven siblings, I have developed strong leadership and caregiving skills. Throughout my teen years, I have been deeply involved in caring for my younger brother and sister, who are now 8 and 14 years old. Watching them grow and supporting their development since they were very young has been a rewarding and formative part of my life.
Growing up in a large family has taught me responsibility, patience, and the value of teamwork. Balancing academic achievements with family duties has shaped me into a determined and adaptable individual, ready to take on new challenges and continue learning beyond high school.
