“I guess it’s not really special, but I think every day with friends, just hanging out with them, and making them feel that they’re valued and respected.
Just spending time with friends and family, really. I think it’s very important, because everyone, everyone wants to feel loved and valued. So, as a person of this society, we have to take time as well, to make that possible for everyone.
I think there’s a good side and bad side to it, my generation I think, we’re slowly getting our chance to speak up for ourselves. Also, the bad thing is that sometimes we don’t get heard a lot, because people think that we’re too young, and we kind of don’t know a lot about stuff.
I think for me, I want people to know that, because we’re young, doesn’t mean that our say is not important. People say we are the future, and we are, we the hope of our generation. So, I guess our say is pretty important. So, whoever is listening or watching, I think we should take youth opinion seriously as well.
I met Sonya through, it’s like a summit for young people to, they gave us a chance to lead our community and stuff. So, I think it’s important for me, because as what I was saying before, that it’s important to hear our voice as well. So, by being here I am able to say my own opinion, and my voice be heard.
I grew up in the Philippines, but we moved here in 2015, due to family and stuff, because I was, I was away with my dad. He was working in Singapore, so we decided to move here to be all together as a family. I think, for me, I value my family the most because they’re the most important thing in my life. I don’t know; I don’t think I can live without them.”
