Early on, I already knew what I wanted to become when I grew up. In Grade 3, without anyone encouraging me, I signed up and joined our grade school paper called The Blue Sash, referring to the blue sash wrapped around the waist of the Blessed Lady, Our Lady of Lourdes after whom my alma mater, Lourdes College in Cagayan de Oro City, was named after. I started out as a reporter, moving up the ranks every year, until I became editor-in-chief when I was in Grade 6.
