Autobiography -

Hi! My name is Ma. Angelica N. Balmorez, but everyone calls me Ange. I was born on October 7, 2005. This year I am turning 21, and honestly, it's a little scary, but that's part of growing up. My parents met in Manila during the 1990s. My mother worked as a housekeeper, while my father worked as a construction worker. They both worked hard to provide a better life for our family.

My life began with a miracle. According to my mom, when I was born I wasn't breathing, and the doctor initially thought I wouldn't survive. She never gave up, though, and spent almost an hour trying to revive me. Thankfully, she succeeded, giving me the chance to live the life I have today. Because of that experience, I always remind myself to appreciate every blessing that comes my way.

As a child, I was playful and sometimes stubborn. Since I have asthma, my mom didn't allow me to join sports competitions. However, I secretly joined a volleyball tournament in our barangay because I really enjoyed playing. Looking back, I realize how brave—and a little hard-headed—I was during those years.

Elementary school was full of fun memories, while high school brought new challenges and experiences.When I entered college, I became more responsible and learned many valuable lessons. Although I once dreamed of becoming a lawyer, life took me on a different path. Today, I am proud to be an Information Technology (IT) student

Being an IT student has been one of the most exciting and rewarding parts of my life. Every project teaches me something new, and I enjoy learning about programming and web development. Even though it can be difficult at times, I find myself staying up late because I genuinely want to learn more. I am also grateful for my classmates, who have made my college journey more enjoyable. The memories we've created together are moments I will always treasure.
