                                             "Writing is an intellect’s way of bleeding." - Gypsy-Nomadic-Soul

Writing is not merely a pastime for me; it is the essence of who I am. Hi, I am Ashley Nicole Agcarao, and writing is my sanctuary, my escape from the world. It is more than a hobby or a job; it is my means of coping, my way of processing the chaos around me. Through the      act of writing, I transform fragments of thoughts and experiences into poetry that speaks to my soul alone. For me, writing is a profound form of self-expression. It’s the lens through which I view the world, turning moments and scattered ideas into something meaningful. It’s in these written words that I find clarity and solace, capturing the intangible and making it tangible. Writing is my refuge and my voice, the very essence of who I am. 

Let me share a bit about my journey. I’m Ashley, a 15-year-old eldest daughter deeply immersed in the Science, Technology, and Engineering Program within the Special Science Class. This program has been both incredibly challenging and benifitial for my growth. It has shaped me into a perfectionist, overachiever, and grade-conscious student. Additionally, the highs and lows of this program have been intense; it’s hard to find words that fully capture the depth of my experiences. Despite the difficulties, it has pushed me to grow and become the best version of myself. Every failure and setback has been a lesson, encouraging me to persevere and rise above challenges. While it has often felt overwhelming, it has ultimately brought out my greatest strengths.

If you were to ask me what I want to be in the future, my answer would likely be "I don't know yet." Choosing a career path is challenging due to various factors that influence my decision. I dream of becoming a lawyer specializing in criminal law, driven by a desire to be the voice for the voiceless and the protector of the vulnerable. The idea of having "Atty." before my name is inspiring.

On the other hand, I also have a deep passion for psychology. I want to explore the complexities of human life and provide support to people on a mental, physical, and emotional level. This inner conflict between pursuing law and psychology makes the decision even more difficult. My mind urges me towards law, while my heart leans towards psychology. One possible solution is to combine both fields: pursuing psychology as a pre-law major and then continuing on to law school. However, the question remains—ultimately, which path will I choose? Psychology or law? That question, my friend will remain unanswered, see you in 10 years.
