Jason Dela Cruz Cemanes was born on July 11, 1994. He lived in Novaliches Quezon City for 20years now. He is the eldest among the three siblings of Mr. & Mrs. Gregorio & Arlyn Cemanes who are very supportive to them. Since he is the eldest, he needs the patience & apprehension towards his youngest sister Josephine & younger brother Jehad.

During of his childhood days, he had happy moments together with his family. He can treasure that even a long time ago was gone like strolling everywhere, hanging out and going mall together. Most of the time, they spend their quality time with each other. They just enjoy & feel the moments that count. Since he knew that childh0od times might just come once.

While he is growing up with his parents & siblings, they filled each of them with unconditional love that is an immeasurable. And also with some things inside his heart that is abundant & wealthy that cannot buy by money. Although, he is living in a simple community, their parents are persistent and able to send them in school to achieve their dreams. And at the same time, further acquisiti0n that can change their lives in the future.

Fortunately after many years of struggles & sacrifices in his life, a momentous occasion had come. Everyone in the high school students do anticipates that much. For him, of course, the graduation day is the most memorable part at the end of school year that one might add.

It is the height of his success, the product of his blood & sweat, as well as his many sleepless nights of anticipation & the preparation for his daily challenges. And since it is end of the certain process or stage in his education, it brings a lot of mixture of joy & pain unto him. Joy, for the attainment for one's goal & pain for the depart for one's comfort zone.

In his point of view like in this moment that is long& wearisome journey, it culminates into one crossroad. A crossroad that presents many opportunities & golden choices. He thinks about a crossroad that when wisely decided upon many success, it is an introduction to a broader arena of life.  An arena with even bigger challenge to come, bigger ponds to conquer and bigger fishes to oppose.

Unfortunately a few years ago, they experienced low pace of life & many problems encountered especially in the aspect of financial instability. He knows that education is the only key to uplift one's life. He believes that it is one of the most potent remedies to get free from the shackles of poverty. He strongly suggests that everyone must find success through education though others are succeeded by chances.

Therefore, he suggested that it should be given special attention by the government to realize its program to have free and accessible education to all.

During his college days in freshmen at BCP, the memorable one that he must apply to himself was their camping. It held at Tanay Rizal within 3 days. It's not just a pleasure but it measures the capacity as a team, as well as being united as one. On that particular activity, they experienced enthusiasm,  excitements & trials to conquer with.

Like crawling under the mud obstacles, climbing on the mountain, swimming & hiking also using a compass as their map that is useful wherever they go. Until the 3 days of stay there was gone, he worn the cheerful smiles & one of a kind experience that gave a great impact to everyone. Knowing that it may fade & soon be forgotten. It  puts some bookmarks on those pages where good memories lie. Therefore, he conclude that life may be compared into road of greatness that are wide open to those who are hardworking & ambitious and that, this is still the time when ambitions were born.

Life doesn’t usually follow the plans what you layout from yourself but with God as he realized. As he continues learning, everyone will experience ups and downs of life then the difficult and easy life ahead. Unfortunately, there are times that come into difficulties rather than just enough smooth sailing like he had seen. And because of that, expect countless bumps and stones hindering along the way as what he used to convey.

One day he knew, the very special day of one's goals will be forever fulfilled w/ success. It will be compensated w/ true sacrifices.
