Hi! Everyone my name is Aaron Charles P.

Estrada and I was born on March 9, 2002, which

makes me 20 years old in 2022. You can call me ACE or Charles and I am the eldest of the 3
siblings and the only guy in the family aside from my father. Both of my parents are very
hardworking my father is a seaman while my mother engages in investments and such. We live in
Antipolo City, but we previously lived in Taytay, Rizal. We relocated from Taytay to Antipolo
because our house was already completely finished. Originally, my father, Joseph A. Estrada is
from Oriental Mindoro and my mother Luz P. Estrada is from Davao but she grew up here in
manila. Growing up my childhood has been my favorite era of my life since both of my parents are
very caring and since I grew up with my cousins that makes my childhood more memorable.

Prior to the pandemic, I love going out. going to parks, coffee shops, and museums basically
spending my time outside however nowadays I prefer being at home in the solace of anime,
manga, webtoons, and Korean dramas. One of our family's bonding is watching movies and
Korean dramas, and eating at buffets, samgyupsal and unli wings we also love going to beaches
prior to the pandemic but not so often since the pandemic happened. I am also an avid k-pop stan
of ENHYPEN I even collected all of their albums and merch.

I attended my kinder to preschool at Roosevelt, Grade school at Taytay United Methodist Christian
School, Junior Highschool at Casimiro A Ynares Highschool, Senior Highschool at OLFU, and
College at OLFU. My grade school days are not the most eventful part of my life but my junior
high school is a different story since I attended a Public Highschool I learned so many things there
I learned how to study hard and manage my time since I was in my school’s Student Government
by being the secretary. My high school is probably one of the most memorable parts of my life. I
made so many friends and get to meet different kinds of people and experienced so many things
outside my comfort zone there I learned how to be myself and socialize with people. Fortunately,
my thirst for knowledge did not come to an end when I was at school. I was passionate about the
human body and science. This passion helped me gain a profound knowledge of these areas, and I
was admitted to the college of my dreams. Today, I am a student at a medical school, and I feel
very happy about it. Right now my course is nursing, but it is not my first course since I shifted
from medical laboratory science, for the reason that I don't find myself working as a medical
technologist. I just chose Medical Laboratory Science as a premed course prior to med school.
However, practicality creeps in and I find it difficult for me to utilize and work as a medical
technologist if I don't end up pursuing medical school. Since I am an extrovert person, I would not
enjoy working inside the four-cornered walls of a laboratory. I want to see patients and get to know
them, help them, and converse with them, which I can not do as a medical technologist. I am
certain that my degree will become my ticket to a better tomorrow. I want to become a good and
excellent nurse if I wasn’t able to pursue medicine. I study hard and devote my free time to reading
scholarly reviews and watching interviews with recognized specialists in the field.
Of course, I understand that life isn't always a bed of roses and that challenges and hardships are
unavoidable. Fortunately, both of my parents can afford to cover my college costs. Despite the fact
that they can fund my studies, I work part-time as a Social Media Manager for a small business
overseas, just enough to cover my allowance and daily needs. Every month, when I get my
paycheck and plan how I'm going to spend it, I feel joyous.

In the 20 yrs of my life, I've come to believe that there are two major factors that
determine success in life. The first is a person's drive and determination to succeed. Are
they willing to make sacrifices in order to achieve their goal, such as working and
studying at the same time? Are they willing to recover from failure and re-achieve their
goal? It is nearly impossible to achieve success without strong internal motivation.
Fortunately, both my parents and family are very supportive of the path I'm on.

It is also equally important to have the support of those around you. Being determined to
succeed does not imply alienating everyone and trampling on others to get there.
Success, on the other hand, is about admitting your flaws and making them your
strength, and accepting help from people who genuinely want to help you. For example, if
my parents had not supported my goals, I would not be attending nursing school today.
