Hola amigos and amigas!! I'm Ma. Christine B. Gratil, a bubbly first year business management student of Cavite State University Imus Campus. I was born in Naga City, Camarines Sur in Bicol and my birthdate was on Dec 20,2003. I'm already 19 years old. I am currently living in Greenpark Villas 2, Malagasang 2C, Imus City Cavite with my father and step mom.

I grew up in exetended family, since my real parents are separated by each other when I was 4 years old. I have 4 siblings and I'm the second born child which i really love because all of my siblings are close to me and we love having some small chit-chats to update what is happening to our lives. My hobbies are dancing, reading fictional stories in wattpad, singing and biking, which is my escape when I'm stressed and exhausted in life. Also, there's a lot of things that i want to explore like painting, make-ups, exercise, and to have a part time job since one of my goal this year is to save money. Furthermore, I am a fur-parent by 5 dogs and 3 puppies. I really love dogs because they are so sweet, cute, and become my stress reliever but sometimes I'm really pissed to them because they always make our house dirty and it is required to clean that mess as soon as possible.

I will give some memorable experiences during my elementary, junior high school, and senior high school. I studied my elementary at Sabang Elementary School in Naga City. When i was in elementary I'm very naughty and noisy girl in the class, there are times that every parents meeting my teacher always says to my mom that I'm very talkative in the class but at the same time active in participating during discussion. I also join majorette in school sonce every month of September we celebrate the feast of Inang Peñafrancia. I really treasure that memory because we compete to other schools and we wear fancy gela. And from then on I choose to be friendly to other people or children. Next is my junior high school journey. In that 4 years of studying in Naga City School of Arts and Trades in Naga City there's a lot of happy memories and challenges that i encounter like having a line of 7 grade in science which is really my first time to got that grade and that gives me a motivation to study hard since i don't want to disappoint my parents. Also, I have a favorite teacher in jhs because she became my 2nd mom and she teaches us a lot in terms of basic accounting. She supports us in every activities we made and she always make our subject easy and happy though accounting subject is really hard. She always make an effort to have a short activity at the end of the month and she treats us like when we eat some afternoon snacks. Lastly, is my senior high school highlights. During my SHS pandemic came and i decide to study at University of Saint Anthony at Iriga City, Camarines Sur. It it really hard to adjust during pandemic because as a student we used to face-to-face class but as a protocol we did that online for us to be safe. But it didn't stop me to have a lot friends. It is very challenging because we can't enjoy the school activities in school and it really limited to see them face-to-face. There are also funny professors that is close to us specially our advisers. They make our discussion lively and fun. Also, we have a graduation that is very memorable because finally i finish my shs with an award and our circle of friends is complete.

Now that I'm a college student there's a lot of new adjustments and challenges that i may encounter specially I'm from the province of Bicol. At first it is really hard for me to adjust because majority of my friends are in bicol and I don't know how can I make or build a new friends here. And I was used to have a walkaing distance schools unlike here i need to travel for almost 1 hour. Although this course is not my first choice still I'm very grateful to have this course because this is my second option and i can study free in this university. This is just the beginning of my college journey and I wish to survive and be a successful person in the future. Thank you and goodluck!!!
