Fireworks— a striking and beautiful display of explosives that lights up the sky with its beautiful array of colors for people to see but as beautiful as it is, fireworks quickly vanishes as soon as they appear in the eyes of its audience.

Who am I?

Greetings to you viewers! My name is Paul Raven and a high school student athlete that attends the sports club CNFC which stands for City of Naga Football Club. I'm 16 years of age and currently studying at Naga High National High School in City of Naga, Cebu, which is located in the Philippines.

Where am I?

My place of residence is at the City of Naga which is specifically located in Cebu. Known as the Industrial City of the South, it is home to multiple factories and a long hub of major energy generators such as KEPCO-SPC Power and National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR). One fun fact is that here in the City of Naga, it is where the largest Apo Cement Corporation power plant in the country resides. City of Naga also has beautiful sceneries such as Pasilong and Baywalk.

What am I?

A word to describe my personality is the word "outgoing". I'm very sociable and interactive with my peers and oftentimes would be the one to welcome the newbies in our soccer club. My friends often call me energetic and hyperactive to the point that they'll run out of energy for my sake. But most of the time, I use my hobbies of playing sports, specifically soccer as an outlet for all this energy I have.

What do I like?

I have an interest in literature, arts and also musicals especially the musical named Hamilton which was played and written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and was acted by him and his fellow cast members.

My most favorite song from the musical Hamilton is Non-Stop which is the story about Alexander Hamilton rising from above his peers and standing on top, and his enthusiasm and hard work ascended him to be the person who created 51 essays that defended the United States Constitution Entitled The Federalist Papers along with John Jay who created 5 essays and James Madison who created 29 essays .

This story about him made me realize that he has a lot of great passion and imagination on the things that he loves, especially writing. Similarly to me, I too have great imagination and love towards soccer and writing, but I lack enough passion to keep on going non-stop but the song motivated me to keep on moving and it gave me the motivation to keep on pushing forward until I reach my goal and rise up.


Why I'm here?

The main reason that I joined Hive is because I want to express my opinions and all of the past and current experiences I have encountered and share it. Hive will serve as an outlet for me in my self-expression and hopefully inspire people or maybe inspire me in expressing more of myself in the process.

Who helped me here?

I discovered Hive, and the reason for that discovery is that chimegipamus@chimegipamus and chaparlapez@chaparlapez introduced me and showed me ways in which I can express myself freely in different kinds of topics in Hive. I would be forever grateful to them for introducing Hive to me for I can express myself in a way I couldn’t do in a personal journal because with Hive, it makes me feel like my words are heard.
