There are many ups and downs in life. I know it's a cliche, but this phrase sums up my entire existence. My life is sometimes fun, happy, and almost enviable, and other times it is boring, sad, uninspiring, and downright disgusting. I am not perfect, and I have never tried to be, but one thing is certain: I AM WHO I AM.

Danica Mae Ong is my name. My parents' fifth child is me. We are a family of eight, and I have always felt responsible for my family. I adore my parents and siblings, and the affection is mutual.

My father is a businessman, as well as my mom. My family is solid, and we are firm in our beliefs and ideas. My parents are not wealthy, but we earn a living. My parents are concerned about my needs and the needs of my siblings. They can be strict when necessary, but they have never did strike us with their hands. They may not be wealthy, but they have big hearts.

I, myself, always looking for new ways to improve my skills and learn new things. I exchange ideas with my friends, and we learn interesting things about one another.

I am also determined to make the world a better place. I know I'm no superhero, and I don't have any concrete plans right now, but I'm on a journey of self-discovery. When people compliment on what I am doing, I feel happy. I consider myself to be a motivator, so I talked to people to inspire them when they are feeling down or don't know what else to do. I know I'm on the right track, and I'll be close to where I want to be soon.
