Hello! Thanks for viewing my profile. I am currently studying at an international high school in the Manila area, but have planned out what I aspire to be.

I am, proudly, a Reliable Realist. I am an introvert by nature. I never had friends before the 6th grade, opting to read the world atlas or follow obscure elections instead. I now do have friends, a small - but genuine - circle, and I am looking forward for it to continue in the future. I am very big on following set expectations and punctuality. I never do anything if it hasn't been calculated. I know that a personality like this is hard to interact with regularly, which is why my friends are like a second family to me - amazing people with the best of intentions, whom I am so lucky to be with. And to my close friends - if you are reading this, we really should hang out more 😀.

I love learning and love education. I am very passionate about mandatory social sciences education, having fell in love with the discipline since fourth grade. I am currently studying at an international school, which gives me a prime opportunity to experience different cultures and how we can all interact across borders - social studies education outside the walls of the classroom. I am planning on teaching social studies internationally as a profession in the future.
