By being hard and strong to face all the challenges in life and able to shed light to those who are in need by promoting different advocacies like K to 12 Curriculum which is of great importance today. I will use these values to inspire and encourage everyone to do the same. I would like people to remember me as a woman who is standing hard and shining bright like a diamond.”
