When I was younger, I could still remember how my parents opened my mind in reinforcing human values to guide my actions in life. Perhaps values constantly shape my life and continually offer an opportunity to acknowledge who and what I am.
I am honoring my personal values through seeing a reflection of my inner self, so I could eventually foster conviction towards continuous growth and improvement; humility towards existence; integrity towards building a sense of worth; loyalty towards building harmonious relationships; and determination towards making a difference in the society.
As an optimist, I usually take pride in expressing my personal conviction on various aspects. Conviction is top on my list for it guides my passion in life towards continuous growth and improvement, especially on every endeavor that I am taking.
Every beginning for me is the hardest, but I always put a positive conviction in every thing I do with a significant thought that every legend was never a master right from the start. In fact, my personal conviction has motivated me to move forward no matter how difficult the process is.
When I joined Hive community, I considered it as one of the hardest days with respect to starting a new journey as a content creator, for I do not really know how to do things properly. But I did not lose hope as I stayed true to my firm beliefs, guiding me to be more patient, disciplined, committed, and consistent to sustain with a great hope for my long-term goals in the blockchain.
Others may have viewed humility as a weakness, but for me, it is a strength as it keeps my feet off the ground, through being modest in my own little ways. Being humble towards my existence helps me to understand myself more through keeping a kind approach in dealing with others.
In the real world, I may have achieved success both big and small, but I am always keeping a humble heart without making someone feel worthless. Instead, I take a continuous step to radiate positivity in strengthening connections as I become more compassionate to others through inspiration and motivation.
Integrity helps me embrace honesty and reliability. It guides me not only in my work, but as well as in my role in the society as an educator, and it also guides me leading to a beautiful pavement in building a sense of self-worth in accordance to my opinions and beliefs.
In addition, it is through integrity that made my life become peaceful since I do not have to hide anything from anyone, and that it creates a deeper value of being honest and reliable even if no one is watching. Perhaps this is one of the good values that help me become an outstanding educator in my country, and this has helped me become a better person, while I continually aspire for a good reputation.
Loyalty reflects a sense of dedication, faithfulness, and commitment to other people, which create meaningful bonds and experiences. Indeed, this has set a special space for my relationships both in the virtual and real worlds.
Based on my personal experience in Hive community, although I do not personally know everyone, I could truly feel all the love and support from friends, not to mention that my journey here has been inspired by compassionate people who are very much willing to give their time and attention for teaching and learning a beginner like me.
Nevertheless, despite distance, loyalty was never a problem. Through community engagement, I was able to meet a lot of amazing people, not to mention that recently, a virtual friend from HivePH, 
When my sister was still alive, she once requested for a Chibi, which is an anime with a child-like feature. Even if she was already gone, friendship and loyalty are still alive, and my late sister’s request was granted by a dear friend.
Here is the framed Chibi of my sister that was amazingly created by my dear friend, jiji.
All I could say is that connections in the Hive blockchain are really real and authentic despite being separated by thousands of miles all over the world.
I was born in the world without a silver spoon in my mouth, and that I exactly know how it feels of having nothing. This humble experience has pushed me to be more determined in life, and it was through determination that I was able to be successful in my education despite poverty.
As a matter of fact, it has allowed me to persevere, while overcoming failures, challenges, and hardships, so I could reach for my dreams and ambitions.
My journey was not very easy, but I was motivated to dream bigger and soar higher in certain aspects. Moreover, determination has made me accomplished various goals in both my personal and professional life at the least expected moment.
As I honor my CHILD personal values in life, I am literally like a cheerful child, who brings out a lively life through the core values despite the trying times.
CHILD— Conviction, Humility, Integrity, Loyalty, and Determination, had made me become an authentic person through guiding my actions and putting them into good values.
