About Me

Hello, I'm Justine Banogbanog. I am 21 years old and currently in my third year of college. I am taking a Bachelor of Secondary Education, majoring in Filipino. Becoming a teacher has been my dream since I really admire how teachers shape and influence the young minds.

When I got into my youth, I loved to speak Filipinism. It is not only a subject but also a way deeper connect to our culture and understanding as a nation. I am proud to study and eventually teach Filipino in school because it helps conserve our cultural identity.

While concentrating on studies, life also believes in balance. I am one who loves to adventure, remain active and simple things really make me happy and help hold the growth as a person.

My Interest

I have a lot of those interests which make life exciting for me. One of the main things I am passionate about is sports. I love to participate in futsal, a modified fast-paced indoor version of soccer, in the function regarded as "play," though it is held in the inside location. Such team game demands teamwork, focus, quick thinking, and practicing futsal helps keeping one healthy and teaches a lesson on discipline and working teamwork.

I love to travel once again, it is one of my living things. I want to know different places, personalities and culture. There's something special with every place that I visit, whether it be a beach, a mountain, or a new city, so I've learned much about the world and myself by traveling. Traveling has always offered me a new outlook on life, and it has been an inspiration to keep wandering.

But really, I'm most interested in education. Learning is something I love, and I want to show that love of learning to others. I always think that education changes lives because it makes us grow, as well as it opens new doors to a better future.

My Hobbies

During my free time I engage in activities which bring happiness and relaxation, one such hobby is sport, especially futsal. I enjoy the thrill that comes with being on the court and passing ball, scoring goals, as well as working with teammates. It is one of the best ways to stay fit while having fun.

Traveling is another of my hobbies. I go to several places, and I would marvel at their beauty, this includes everything from beaches, mountains, and any other site. This is how I escape from the busy school life to a peaceful embracing with nature. I also gather memories and experiences in that travel.

Besides that, I find time with family and friends. I enjoy small things that come from simple conversations, laughter, and meals shared. I think happiness does not always come from big things. Most of the time, it is from the little, daily moments.

Small things matters

Small things make me happy For me, happiness doesn't come as much from flourish as extravagance. Simplicity becomes happiness: a good chat with a friend, a laugh with loved ones, or even finishing a good task. I believe that we need to have a balanced life where happiness is appreciated in the things we have, and the beauty in ordinary ones.

I yearn for doing things that bring happiness. Whether playing futsal, travelling to some new place, or just spending time with family and friends—these all moments keep charging my spirit, reminding me about self-care and mindfulness.

What Can I Contribute to Hive

I think I can do a significant amount to help Hive by exchanging my stories and experiences. Through my blog posts, I can inspire others with my journey as a student, a sports enthusiast, and someone who loves traveling. I can talk about my experiences in learning, the things I've learned competing in sport, and I can share the experiences of finding enjoyment in touring new locations.

As an upcoming teacher I am also able to provide insights and suggestions on learning and teaching. I would like to inspire people to appreciate the role of education as a vehicle to empower and promote self-development and economic success.

Also I can provide by working in contact with the Hive people. I am fond of talking with new people and learning about their experiences. Hive is an excellent environment for knowledge dissemination and community building, and I'm happy to contribute to it.

In life, I believe in finding balance. Although I am diligent in my studies, I do not sacrifice my personal interests and hobbies. This balance keeps me happy and motivated.
