Who Is Divine Behind Her Name?

Hello people! My name is May Divine, you can call me Mavi. I am a grade 10 SSC student at Ilocos Sur National High School. Unfortunately, it was pandemic when I entered the STE program. I am slow when it comes to numbers, that's why I hate math and chose the STE program instead of SMC. As a daughter, I am always striving to meet my parents expectations and make them proud. because they are also doing their best to support my studies.

When face-to-face classes started, I often doubted myself and lost my confidence. I am very shy to recite during class discussions, afraid to speak in English, make friends, and socialize with other people. But I realized that if I don't face my fears, then I will not be able to grow and will keep missing opportunities. So I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try new things to boost my confidence. Just like what sunsets symbolize—the end of one phase and the beginning of another. So, I tried surrounding myself with positive people, making friends, sharing my thoughts during class discussions, and participating in school events. It wasn't easy at first, but as time went by, I was able to adjust. I may not be that confident, but there's progress on myself. My journey to being confident has been a gradual process. There's a lot of setbacks and challenges, but I learned a lot from it. 

Just like chasing sunsets, my journey to being successful may be hard, but it is filled with lights that serve as my hope. I am currently in grade 10, and I am planning to take STEM as my strand in Senior High. In college, I want to study at De La Salle University (DLSU). I want to take a health-related course. As of now, I am still undecided whether to take a BS in Medical Technology or a BS in Radiologic Technology. After college, I want to live in Switzerland and work as a medical technologist or radiologic technologist.
