1. Describe the coat of arms that you have designed.

ONG
- A captivating and intricate logo design that encapsulates humility, hard work,
resilience, and peace. At the center, a radiant sun symbolizes light and warmth while
a determined student points upwards, representing knowledge and ambition. Cultural
symbols intertwine with the sun and student, showcasing unity and diversity. The

BUKAS!
logo also includes subtle symbols of humility, such as a modest bow, and resilience,
depicted by a phoenix rising from the ashes. The overall design is bold and epic, with
a harmonious blend of colors and shapes that create a powerful and meaningful visual
statement. In crafting this emblem, I've poured my heart into every curve, every line,
infusing it with the essence of my aspirations and beliefs. Let me walk you through
the profound symbolism woven into its design.
“Unos na kailanga’y maaninag, susi sa
makatarunang
At the heart of this logo, the sun radiates with promise, symbolizing the dawnliwanag”
of a
new tomorrow—a tomorrow where we strive to become better versions of ourselves.
Its warmth embraces us, nurturing our growth and illuminating our paths toward
enlightenment.
Encircling this beacon of hope is a circular seal, divided between thorns and fruitful
tree leaves. This represents the dichotomy of struggles and victories we encounter on
our journey. It's a reminder that amidst adversity, there's always potential for growth
and triumph. The figure of the student stands tall, not merely pointing upwards out of
 ambition, but out of a deep-rooted desire for wisdom and self-improvement. Each
upward gesture embodies not just the pursuit of intelligence, but the aspiration to
make wiser decisions and to become a better individual.
In its simplicity lies its strength—a straightforward design that humbly acknowledges
the myriad trials we may face. It's a testament to humility, reminding us to stay
grounded even as we reach for the stars. Resilience permeates every aspect of this
emblem. Just as the phoenix rises from the ashes, we too can emerge stronger from
our challenges, embodying the spirit of endurance and perseverance. Peace permeates
the very essence of this logo, weaving together cultural symbols in a tapestry of unity
and diversity. It's a visual symphony, harmonizing differences and celebrating the
beauty of our collective humanity. This emblem isn't just a symbol—it's a manifesto,
a declaration of intent. It embodies the ethos of inclusivity, embracing progressive
mottos and traditions that center on the empowerment of all people.
Through this seal, I aspire not only to inspire but to be inspired—to continuously
strive for growth, wisdom, and peace. It's a beacon of hope, a rallying cry for us all to
reach for the highest ideals and to become the best versions of ourselves.

2. What is the distinguishing mark of your coat of arms?

- The marks on the seal are not just arbitrary; they represent the dichotomy of life's
experiences—the thorns and the fruitful tree leaves. On one half, the thorns stand tall,
jagged reminders of the challenges and obstacles we encounter. They symbolize the
trials that test our strength and resilience, representing the harsh realities we must
navigate on our journey. Contrastingly, on the other half, lush and verdant tree leaves
burst forth, symbolizing growth, abundance, and the sweet taste of victory. They
remind us that amidst the thorns, there are moments of triumph and prosperity,
moments that make the struggles worthwhile. Together, these marks create a balanced
visual narrative, capturing the complexities of the human experience—the highs and
lows, the struggles and victories—all woven together in the tapestry of life.

3. How did you portray your unique identity in the seal?

-
- In crafting the seal, I've carefully curated a selection of symbols that resonate deeply
with my own identity, values, and aspirations. At the heart of the design lies the
radiant sun, a symbol of optimism, enlightenment, and the promise of a new day. It
embodies my belief in the power of positivity and serves as a constant reminder to
strive for growth and self-improvement. Surrounding the sun is the circular seal,
divided into distinct halves—half adorned with thorns, half with fruitful tree leaves.
This dichotomy reflects my understanding of life's challenges and victories,
symbolizing the highs and lows, the struggles and triumphs that shape our journey.
Intertwined with the seal are symbols of peace, humility, and resilience. A graceful
olive branch extends from the sun, symbolizing my commitment to fostering harmony
and understanding in all aspects of life. Adjacent to it, a humble bow serves as a
reminder of the importance of humility and respect, grounding me in the knowledge
of my own limitations and the dignity of others. Lastly, scattered throughout the
 design are subtle representations of resilience—a subtle nod to the strength and
perseverance needed to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.
- Together, these symbols form a cohesive narrative, reflecting not only my values and
beliefs but also my ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth. The seal
serves as a visual testament to my unique identity—a reminder of the principles that
guide me and the person I aspire to become.
