Despite of her doubts to make it for the next level, she continued, "I didn't let my insecurities affect my performance, instead I use it as a motivation to step up. My friends, family, my teachers , the thousand students of sampaguita, my coach (Ma'am Sumagaysay) along with the whole mapeh department, who trusted and guided me through out the competition, are my motivations and the reason why I remain strong and strive for the best".
