1. How do you describe yourself as a student of CMDI?

As a student of CMDI, I’m proud to say that I am perfectly imperfect. Basically, I
abide the rules and regulations but break it sometimes due to unfavorable
circumstances. However, I was always attentive with the programs that the school is
offering suchlike seminars and symposiums that would help me acquire new
knowledge and skills. Through the years that I enter CMDI, the core values that the
institution believes in became also my life values namely being competent, having
family spirit, integrity, being simple, humble, aiming for excellency and being a
steward. Truly, I’m the kind of student whom what CMDI molded me to be.

2. In your own assessment, what kind of a child/brother/sister are you in the

family?
As a daughter, I describe myself as the silent lover. Basically, I’m not the sweet
type of daughter who always express feelings of love and care to parents. I express
my love for them implicitly, through my actions inside the house and simple
expressions of love when apart from them. On the other hand, I’m the eldest in the
family and as a sister, I can tell that I’m really strict to my brother and sister in terms
of disciplining them.I am very close to my sister but not that much to my brother
however I’m always emphasizing them of the fact that I’m their elder sister and they
should basically respect me. Even if we consider ourselves best friends, I know when
to act as one and as an elder sister.

3. How are you as a Child-Leader of the Family/Community?

In the family, I was like the right hand of my mother in terms of household
chores and in other circumstances. For instance, when there would be siblings
quarrel, I were always the one who got to be scolded even if its not my mistake. And
as the eldest, I would basically do nothing but to accept my parent’s anger.
Meanwhile, in our community, I’m active on the youth organizations which in fact I
served for almost just two years as youth task force. Although, as a college student,
my participation has been interrupted but I’m still willing to serve my neighborhood
and my fellow youth in our local community.

4. What is the meaning of family to you?

Family is the basic unit of our society wherein the best source for good values.
Family means having someone who love you unconditionally despite of your
deficiencies and shortcomings. It means you will be love and be in love for the rest of
you life.

5. How do you feel when thinking of your family?

Honestly , when I’m thinking of my family I will always be relieved from life’s
uneasiness and always felt inspired. Personally, when I’m having difficulty with my
studies and other stuff, I just think of my family to get motivated. Family for me is
simply my life and my every thing. They are the reason why I still go out of bed every
morning.
