When she finally went to high school as a freshman it was a fresh start for her . she had to stop singing to pursue her studies.. and then came a time that her teacher asked her to sing on TV which is the “CAMPUS BEAT”, the school’s television program, which is exclusively shown only on Iligan City Cable.. after that she had been singing in school in every occasions like “Buwan ng Wika”(Month of Language), “Nutrition Month” and Sportsfest.. Her friends had encourage her to sing into some singing contest but she was too afraid to lose and felt that she wasn’t good enough.. She thought that she might be better off just singing and not competing at all..All she wanted is just to sing infront of other people on stage and entertain them and make them enjoy the music shes singing..It makes her heart so full of joy when she sees people are smiling and appreciating her singing while she performs..By the time she reached the age of 18 she felt like she was ready to join with a band and luckily her prayers were answered.. She saw a sign outside the window of the restaurant that said that there was band called “The Stonehenge”(which is the band who plays variety music) looking for a female singer.. she called the band immediately and asked for audition.
