My name is Kathleen Mae “Kamae” Sarrosa Iniguez. I turned 16 last March 11, and I am a proud Filipino. I am a college freshman, and still am struggling in my path to spiritual growth. My interests include art and its history, trivia, inspirational quotes/ stories/ messages ad superheroes. I am a normal sixteen-year-old, at least as far as I am concerned.

Life is the one topic that I never lose interest in. I love talking about it. Ramblings, blessings, experiences… name it and I will surely listen to whoever tells a story about life. The most inspiring life quote that has struck me is “Do not cry because it came to an end. Smile because it happened.”

I look back in all the years I have lived my life, and that quote always makes me smile. I do admit that I have many shortcomings as a person. I have always believed that you should live life with passion, and make the most out of it, but I am only human and I know I slacked off tons of times and did not always do what was supposed to be the best. These memories of mine make me strive harder to become a better person, and even if I do have regrets, I still smile when I look back because I know that it had somehow helped me become who I am today.

Aside from my personal struggles, I also see this quote as a reminder of the people who came and went into my life. Some are enemies, others are acquaintances and friends, and all together, they had made my life a pleasant experience. There are times when I would like to turn back time to spend it with those people (friends and enemies alike) whom I have missed and relieve the moment all over again, but I know there us no way I can ever turn time back. The best I can do is remember these experiences and see how it affected myself at present.

I know that this is a “Selling Myself” portion, and this is how I can best present myself. Strip me off with my hobbies, my personality, nothing else is left except for my principles in life, and that best defines me. Hobbies and personality are worldly things, and I do not want people to see me by how the world sees me. I want people to see me the way I (or maybe even God) see me. As I said, I am only human and prone to errors. My interests may change every now and then, but the way I see life will generally stay the same or might go one step higher/ be better). I may trip, I may fall, but I will always continue running the marathon set by God (and/ or life) before me. With all my best, I will never give up on trying to become who He wants me to be. I am Kamae. I am human. I am God’s creation, and I will always (and forever) be under construction to become a better person.
