sense that I can face problems with positive approach and thus, can provide solution to it. Independent
in a way that I can manage things on my own little ways. Strong-willed person who take situation that
what I think is right for me thus against to other people around me with the attachment of good deed.

2. What make you standout from the rest? What makes you special?

In this world, I do really believe that everyone of us is different, we have our own strengths and
weaknesses as well. One thing that make me stand out from the rest is being myself alone. I am an
individual who has a diverse personality.

I can relate myself to other selves though connecting to them. Through my interconnection to
other people, I can relay situation that may be similar to other as same as to them. With this, we can

There is no certain concept of what will happened after you die, it may depend on what kind of
environment that you grew to. In my case, after all the good deeds that I did, I may consider myself to
go to the “afterlife”. Maybe I may not be perfect from this world, I know that I did some things that will
make other people happy especially to my family and from Thy above.
