Continuing My Story
After finishing high school, my journey toward building my dreams really began. I knew that technology and computers interested me, so I decided to pursue a path related to Information Technology. At first, it was intimidating because programming looked complicated, but over time, I started to enjoy solving problems, creating projects, and learning how systems work.
In senior high school, I faced new responsibilities. The lessons were harder, and the workload was heavier, but I learned how to adapt. Group projects, reports, and deadlines were stressful at times, but I realized that these challenges prepared me for college and the real world. I learned how to collaborate with people who had different personalities and how to be more patient and understanding.
I also started developing an interest in creating systems and applications. I worked on projects like a room management system using Python with a Tkinter interface and MySQL database. At first, it felt overwhelming, but I gained confidence as I solved errors and made the program functional. Working on these projects gave me pride because I could see something I created working properly.
Another highlight was when I explored web development. I worked on Laravel projects, including a user and role management system with permissions. It was challenging because of the technical issues I encountered, like middleware validation warnings, but I didn’t let those stop me. I kept researching, debugging, and practicing until I understood how to fix them. I also experimented with adding new features, like a category system for my Laravel projects. These experiences taught me that programming isn’t just about writing code it’s about problem-solving, creativity, and persistence.
Outside of academics, I also balanced personal hobbies and responsibilities. Playing some games with friends, playing the guitar, and exercising became my ways to release stress. Even though I was busy, I never forgot to take care of my health and mental well-being. I also valued spending time with my family, especially my lola and mom, because they continued to inspire me to keep moving forward.
Looking back, I realized that all the difficulties I went through shaped my determination. From childhood struggles to school challenges and personal responsibilities, everything pushed me to become stronger. Life wasn’t easy, but I learned that I have the power to control how I respond to challenges.
When I think about my future, I want to build a career in IT, maybe as a software developer, system analyst, or even someone who builds solutions that can help businesses and people. I also dream of giving back to my family, especially my mom and lola, who sacrificed so much for me. One of my biggest goals is to provide them with a more comfortable life and make them proud.
I also want to inspire others who are going through struggles like I did. I want them to know that hardships don’t define your future. What matters is how you respond to them, how hard you work, and how much faith you keep in yourself.
Every day is still a learning process for me. I make mistakes, but I learn from them. I have fears, but I face them. I have doubts, but I don’t let them control me. That’s who I am a person who refuses to give up no matter how tough life gets.
This autobiography is not just a story of my past but also a reminder for myself of how far I’ve come. From the loud baby in the hospital who made the nurse laugh, to the boy raised by his lola while his mom worked hard, to the teenager who found strength in sports and music, to the student who discovered a passion for technology this is my journey.
And it doesn’t stop here. My story is still being written, one day at a time, with new experiences, new challenges, and new dreams waiting for me.
