Introduce Yourself: Pinay Achiever Explorer

Good day, fellow steemians!

I'm a newbie here. Let me introduce myself to you.

My name is Marjorie B. Silawan, 18 years old from So-ong 1, Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines. You can call me by my nickname "Marj". A little trivia of my first name: Marjorie is a female given name derived from Margaret which means pearl. So, I'm a precious being. I'm not a criminal. I don't usually break the law, but one time I was punished by my fourth-grade teacher to stand above the table for the whole afternoon session because I destroyed her table through pulling and pushing it repeatedly. I could say that I'm a daily adventurer since I travel for 3 hours just to go to school. Imagine how hard it is to live 20 kilometers more away from school. You could really wish that you could brought your house with you like what the turtles do.

I'm a two-faced creature which means that I can be silent the whole time when I'm with people that I'm not close with or I can be crazy as a monkey when I can already feel the atmosphere of comfortability and fun, and that usually happen when I'm with my friends. In school, I seemed like wearing a happy mask everyday because despite of the long travel, the pollution, noise and traffic, I always make sure that I can still smile and be happy because too much sadness will kill you. It may not be physically, but mentally and emotionally.

Here is a bite-sized random facts about me:

• I'm the second child with four siblings.
• I love to read and write poetry.
• I love to listen to heartbreaking songs.
• I'm interested in watching documentaries.
• I can be your cheeziest friend through cracking some old jokes.
• I admire Korean dramas.

I'm an incoming second year college student in one of the private schools in Cebu. I'm an academic scholar, that's why I always put time and effort in my studies. I'm always proud to say that since grade school I'm always included in the list of the top students in our school because I give a huge value to education. With that, I'm now taking up an Education course: Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics. Before I hate numbers, but now I'm using this as a motivation to help and inspire students to win and conquer their fears like in the subject, Mathematics.

The one who introduced me to Steemit is my bestfriend, @absinkaren. All thanks to her. I'm interested to join this community because I want to connect and interact more especially to people from different countries with diverse culture. Thus, listening to different stories make us understand more of their individual conditions. For me, Steemit can be an efficient platform to express and share a part of my life and my creative pieces.

You already know me and I hope to have a great journey with you, Steemians! Have a wonderful day!

Love,
Marj
