Apple Kim Cuaresma

My name is Apple Kim A. Cuaresma currently living in Prk. 4-B, Sto. Niño, Talaingod,

Davao del Norte, Philippines. I am a grade 11 student that took the ABM strand as my academic

track in Sto. Niño National High School (SNNHS). My parents are Evelyn Cuaresma and Rading

Cuaresma. I am the youngest in the family and I have one sibling. Since I was very young, I have

really loved spending time with my family and friends, but sometimes I prefer to be alone.

I had happy childhood memories with my love ones especially my parents and sibling.

During the weekend, we spend time together watching movies and sometimes, we cook some

Filipino desserts like “puto” and “biko”. My family is financially unstable, but I am lucky to

have them. When I was six years old, I started attending school and I remembered having many

friends, some of whom are still my friends. But as time passes, I’ve experienced and learned

about many things at school. I love being there, so even though it sometimes leaves me

exhausted, I enjoy going there every day.

Being an Architect is my dream job but I cannot afford those because my family is

financially unstable and being a burden is one of things that I hated. There is a possible way that

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) is the course that I will take in college,

same with my brother, because my parents suggested it.

Achieving goals in life is how I defined success. I do things in every possible way to not

let my parents’ blood and sweat go to waste. I also learned that some people we encountered and

love will inevitably leave us one day, so we must treasure them when there is a time.
