* Who is your personal hero and why?

"My personal hero would be my mother, Beverlie Viloria Garo. Though she may not be a celebrity nor an Olympic medalist, she has accomplished an even more extraordinary feat: raising me as a single parent. Despite its extreme difficulties, she's done it with love, hope and courage. Her personal struggles have taught me to persist through my own trials and tribulations. Till this day, the values that she has instilled within me, shine so brightly in my own life."
