I am not for words so I would describe myself as anyone

would. No more technicalities since they would already
appear. I would say that I am very cheerful, although
temperamental as well. I am also very passionate about
singing though singing is not passionate about me. I try
to do my best in everything I handle although I feel that
I do not handle failures well. During my four years in the
Ateneo, I tried to know as much people as I can, though I
think many will not recognize me as they browse through
the yearbook. I am compelled to say things that would
make me look good and that would give a false impression.
As we all know, a person can never be measured by the
things we say or even by how others describe us. To know
someone is to have a lifetime relationship with them, and
I am so thankful that my stay here has given me various
opportunities to make those precious relations. I hope I
touched your life as well.

There are things in this world that words can barely

capture in essence. The winds change, the seasons come
and go. But these beings stay like the sun; that at thick
into the twilight, we are confident that they’re still around
somewhere. Whenever you’re with one of them, it’s going
to be all about gaiety, joy, and the celebration of the good
things in life. These beings are made of the stuff that would
make the best type of friend any person could have. With
their soft and understanding utterances, your once heavy
heart will flutter with enthrallment. They are always there
for you. Krishna is one such being. She is revered by many
not only for her physical and intellectual appeal, but also
because of the way she values her friends; extraordinarily.
Krishna’s spellbinding words could soothe anybody’s
soul. An aura of coziness always radiates from her. She’s
definitely a combination of everything that is good about
life, and that is why we love this sweet lady and support
her to the ends of this world.

You might think that she’s a definite case for the stuck-
up snob society. You’ll probably write her off as a penny-
pinching geek for burying nose into her financial math
books so she’d eventually ace yet another test. You’d
possibly even brand her eager participation in student
leadership as overdoing it.

Prepare to be pleasantly surprised. For a girl who has a

lot to be conceited about, Aya is one unassuming soul—
consistently brushing off compliments with an embarrassed
laugh, always preferring life outside the limelight. Holding
her principles tight and always thinking things through,
she is one person you’ll always be able to depend on, one
person who, through her meticulous pursuit of excellence
and selfless dedication, is bound to succeed. She may wish
to run from the limelight, but it’ll always give her a spirited
chase.
