PAGES AND SMILES

     I like to capture happy moments in my life, hence the picture above. One more fact about me is that I love to take pictures. No matter where I am or what I'm doing, I'll take pictures. I like to capture things that make me in awe, moments that I would like to remember forever, beautiful scenery, and the smiles of people around me. I remember a quote that said, "A photograph is a pause button on life." This is me showing my own version of the pause button. These photos are some of my favorites in my gallery.

I probably read a whole library because I tried many genres. It mostly depends on my mood or my curiosity to learn something new. The books above are the ones I would recommend to a reader with the same taste or reading preferences as mine. I've experienced every emotion known to man because of r...

Being a HUMSS student is a wonderful experience. It's a journey filled with intellectual exploration, social awareness, personal growth, and a deep understanding of humanities and how our world works. Being a HUMSS student means embracing history, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and more. It's a curriculum that will challenge you to think critically and learn how to analyze complex issues and ideas that have shaped our society. My experience taught me many life lessons, such as that no matter how hard you avoid getting out of your comfort zone, you will find yourself doing just that, while also realizing that trying new things is not an awful experience but a life-changing one. Here, you'll learn to build and develop your confidence by engaging in so many extracurricular activities that you need to socialize, interact with other people, do public speaking, and perform in front of people. That's why personal growth is one of the perks of being a HUMSS stud...

I'm Kate Russell Flores, currently a grade 12 student at PCU, studying HUMSS. I just turned 17 last september. I'm a bookworm, who loves literature like no other. Here you'll discover the magic of literature in the eyes of a teen girl, rolled into one delightful blog.
