* Who is your personal hero and why?
"My personal hero is my father. Jessie Gazmen is like a secret superhero to me. I see him come home exhausted late at night, but still wake up early in the morning to head back to work. His dedication and love for his family is what truly inspires me. Through the exhaustion, he can still give me a huge hug, smile and kiss on the forehead. It's because of him that I?work hard in school for a successful life and to prove to him that his hard work didn't go unnoticed."
