My name is Ramsted B.

Niñal and I was born on the 13 th of September, 2002 in

Lumbangan, Mabinay in the province Negros Oriental. I like going out and doing some
fun activities. Since the pandemic, I discovered a new hobby which is cycling and
playing lawn tennis. My parents are Elmer Niñal and Melanie Niñal. Both my parents
own and run the eatery that we have, which is the primary source of their income to
support the family’s needs and raise me and my siblings. I have a total of four siblings.
Our eldest, Riane, is already 22 years old. Our only sister, Ria Mae is 20 years old. Rain,
who is in 5th grade, is probably around 11 years old. And our youngest baby brother, who
is 2 years old, Rafael. My family and I are residing in Purok 2, Poblacion, Mabinay,
province of Negros Oriental.

When I was little, around 6 to 7 years old, I was really a naughty kid. There was
this one time, where my mom was cleaning our backyard and built a fire using the leaves
she gathered. Me and my sister were playing around and enjoying ourselves, but I don’t
know what came into my mind and pushed my sister into the fire and burned herself.
Thinking about that time, I feel sorry for her.

Regarding my social life, I consider a lot of my friends as my best friends. Those

people that can vibe with me, with similar hobbies and having that mind connection. I
cannot mention them one by one, because there are too many of them. What I like about
them is that they are very outgoing, where I never felt being left behind in the group.
They just made my life more colorful adding laughter and bits of fun times and good
memories. Where did I meet them? All I know is that we just crossed paths, maybe it's
destiny.

I finished my Elementary at Mabinay Central School and my Junior High School

at Mabinay National High School, which also is currently where I am having my Senior
High School. I am now in Grade 12 taking Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS).
Right now, I don’t have a clear vision of my future yet. My mind is still battling on
deciding what career path I should pursue. But most likely, I’ll be pursuing a profession
of career that would be related to computer studies and the like.

In my life right now, the thing that I am most proud of is my FAMILY. Why?
Simple because they are the backbone of my life. They are the ones that motivate me in
striving more and working hard. They were my light, that helps me get out of the
darkness that isolates myself. I am so grateful and happy that in this life, I was born into
this family. They have a strong influence in my life, that everything I do is for them, my
family. I learned a lot of things, may it be about life, studies, work, fun things, and a lot
more to mention. Basically, they taught me what the world is and how it works. They
were there from the beginning since the day I opened my eyes into this world. Until
now, I have grown into a man and I know they will always be there for me until the end.
I wanted to become the person that I have always dreamed of. Having a good life,
sipping a cup of coffee in my office, and being influential, motivates and inspires others
to strive more and challenge themselves to become the best versions of themselves. I
wanted to help people know that they are more than what they think they are.
