My father’s name is Richard Reyes. My mother’s name is Diana Reyes. I also have a younger sister named Jarina Chloe Reyes. And I am here to talk more about myself and share my future plans in my life. I see myself as a person with an artistic soul and creative mind. I am enthusiastic about art related stuff because of my talent, drawing and sketching. I also see myself as a competitive person in a sense that I always compete in art competitions. Those competitions that I’ve joined help me improve or hone my artistic skills. Now that I am 15 years old, I am exploring more about my talent and skills.

Additionally, I believe that “talent is a pursued interest...
