Growing Up Story

To grow up in an environment where being yourself was highly encouraged motivated me to find my place and purpose in life, building myself piece by piece through the people I’ve met who have shaped my views and goals. When I was eleven, I developed a great love for films and discovered my admiration for Audrey Hepburn, a sophisticated woman who always embodied humility and grace. I was inspired and deeply gratified to have found purpose in becoming like her: a person of dignity and kindness toward myself and others.

The age of eighteen once seemed out of reach when I was younger. Yet time has flown by in the blink of an eye, and every moment of the journey has served as a lesson in my life. “Easy” is not a word I would use to describe it, rather, it has been a tenacious pursuit of moving forward no matter what. And now, as I reach this milestone alongside my loved ones, I am proud to say that I feel appreciated and truly loved, for I have become the person I aspired to be.

As I stand at the threshold of new beginnings, I carry with me the lessons, love, and laughter that have shaped me. May the years ahead be lived with the same grace, courage, and gratitude that brought me to where I am right now.
