# My Autobiography

Yeepee! I was born with the name Maricar A. Puruganan, but you can call me Ingga. My journey began in the beautiful town of Yeban Sur, Benito Soliven, Isabela on January 5, 2003. I am a young woman who believes in the value of independence, hard work, and perseverance.

As a student, I strive to balance my academic responsibilities with the challenges of everyday life. Being independent has taught me how to make decisions, manage my time, and overcome obstacles on my own.

Throughout my journey, I have learned that success does not come easily. There are times when I face difficulties, disappointments, and self-doubt. However, these experiences have helped me become stronger and more determined to achieve my goals.

As a student, I am committed to gaining knowledge and developing skills that will help me build a better future. Education is one of the most powerful tools that can help me achieve my dreams, which is why I continue to work hard and remain focused on my goals.

Beyond academics, I value kindness, responsibility, and self-respect. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones and caring for animals, which reflects my compassionate nature. I believe that true independence is not about doing everything alone but about having the courage to stand on your own while continuing to learn and grow.

Today, I am proud of the woman I am becoming—strong, independent, and determined. I know that there are still many challenges ahead, but I am ready to face them with confidence, knowing that every step I take brings me closer to my dreams.
