Francheska Pangan

 Autobiography of Francheska Q. Pangan

 I am Francheska Q. Pangan, born on October 10, 2009. My story isn’t one of perfection, but of growth, struggles, and small victories that shaped who I am today. I’ve learned that my health, my choices, and even my passions are all connected to the person I am becoming. This is the journey of how I learned to carry both practicality and passion, fear and courage, weakness and strength—all while discovering myself along the way.


Health, for me, has never been just about the body. It’s about the choices I make, the passions I carry, and even the quiet battles I fight in my own head.


If I were to follow only my heart, I know exactly where it would take me—behind the camera. Filming has always been my first love. The moment I hold a camera, I feel alive. I find happiness in capturing stories, framing emotions, and seeing the world through a lens. Sometimes I can’t help but ask myself: if practicality didn’t matter, would filming be the path I’d choose? And every time, the answer is yes. Because that’s where my heart feels at home.


But life isn’t always about what feels safe to the heart—it also demands practicality. That’s when psychology became my second choice. And though it wasn’t my first love, I grew to value it deeply. Psychology allowed me to step closer to people’s inner worlds: to understand their thoughts, their emotions, and their behaviors. In choosing it, I found a different kind of passion—one that connected me to others in ways I never expected.


Still, the journey was not easy. Stress followed me, and public speaking was my greatest fear. I would shake, stumble, and feel like my own body was betraying me every time I stood in front of a crowd. For a long time, that fear defined me.


But change came. My school now—Kingfisher School of Business and Finance—became the turning point in my story. With guidance, encouragement, and countless chances to grow, I slowly found my voice. What once felt impossible became a strength. I began speaking not with trembling hands, but with confidence I never thought I had. That growth didn’t just make me stronger academically—it healed a part of me. It showed me that fear doesn’t have to control me, and that courage can be learned, practiced, and lived.


Now, I see health differently. It’s not just about diet or exercise—it’s about balance, resilience, and courage. It’s about holding on to my passion for filming while pursuing psychology, and knowing that both can shape the person I am becoming. It’s about celebrating small victories—like standing in front of people and speaking without fear—because they remind me of how far I’ve come.


My story isn’t perfect. It’s still unfolding, full of twists between passion and practicality. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: health is not about being flawless. It’s about persistence, growth, and choosing to move forward, even when the road bends in unexpected ways.

“Learning is never done without errors and defeat.” -Vladimir Lenin

  “Learning is never done without errors and defeat.” -Vladimir Lenin   As students, we tend to expect the highest expectations we have for ourselves and others for us. We sacrifice ourselves to the point that we would prioritize academic goals rather than our health. There are instances wherein the expectations we have are far too high that when we fail we get so disappointed in ourselves because of failures that we didn’t want to happen. In reality, we have to accept that we won’t know real success without the failures in the way. We don’t become successful overnight, and the truth is: that’s okay. Many of us don’t really know that it’s okay to fail multiple times because that’s part of life. We will get there someday, and that’s why we learn.  We are distracted by the things we want to happen and never really seeing how far we’ve come. Yes, learning is really hard. We will fail, we will tumble, and we will feel failure; but that’s okay. Every successful person never be...

Cherishing Health is Cherishing Yourself

  Cherishing Health is Cherishing Yourself      Do you believe in the saying “Health is Wealth”?  It is a common phrase used to encourage one another to take care of our health. According to Mary Ann LL. Reyes (Philstar, 2025), the Philippines thrive for better health care system improvement. Many Filipinos suffer from unfair treatment due to biased selection, and many of us Filipinos also neglect our responsibility to care for our health.      Health isn’t something we have that we can carelessly neglect. Smoking, alcohol intake, obesity, fatigue, and many others are factors which lead us to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). We can start caring for our health by simply: Maintaining a healthy balanced diet.      Eat only what we can eat. It’s significant for us to balance our meals as to fill our bodies with the nourishments we intake from our food. We only take what we can only eat to not also waste fo...

Khaylie Catama

  Autobiography of Khaylie C. Catama I am Khaylie C. Catama , born on February 15, 2009, in the vibrant city of Dagupan, Pangasinan. My story begins in a household where the values of faith, perseverance, and service were deeply instilled. These principles have been my compass, guiding me through the different chapters of my young yet meaningful journey. My educational path started at Bonuan First Baptist Learning Center, where I first stepped into the world of structured learning. From Kindergarten to Junior High School, I studied at Pangasinan Universal Institute, a place that became both a training ground and a home to my developing passions. Currently, I am pursuing the Humanities and Social Sciences strand at Kingfisher School of Business and Finance, where I continue to cultivate both intellect and character. Outside the classroom, I find myself drawn to the simple poetry of life—watching the sun melt into the horizon, cherishing moments with close friends and family, and exp...
