It was a peaceful Thursday night on April 14, 2005, when I came into this world. The stars must have been quietly shining, and the moon casting its gentle glow, as my parents welcomed me as their third child. I was born in District 1, Cauayan City, Isabela, and today I reside in Guilingan, Benito Soliven, Isabela. My family is the foundation of my life, and I am blessed to have been born into a household filled with both love and lessons. My father, Mr. Solomon Abat Jr., and my mother, Ms. Maria Pascua, have always been my guiding lights. They were blessed with four children: my eldest brother Dieter Jomar, my sister Marjorie, myself as the third, and the youngest, Mark Julian. Together, we form a family of six a simple yet strong household bound by shared struggles, laughter, and dreams.

     According to my parents, I was a quiet and gentle child in my earliest years. Unlike some children who constantly demanded attention, I spent much of my time simply observing the world around me with wide, curious eyes. Yet as the years went by, my personality began to bloom. I started to reveal a playful and mischievous side, learning how to laugh, tease, and enjoy life's little adventures. This balance of quietness and liveliness became part of who I am someone who could be calm and reflective, but also fun loving and energetic.

     In 2010, at just five years old, I embarked on a journey that would define a big part of my growth education. Kindergarten was the very first steppingstone, and it was during these early school years that I began forming friendships that would leave an imprint on my childhood. I met Romar and Johnloid, two friends who stood by me in games, laughter, and countless memories. Together, we filled our days with play, mischief, and simple joys that only children can fully understand. Those carefree years taught me the value of friendship and how important it is to share your journey with people who uplift you.

     As I progressed to ^2ndGrade and ^3rdGrade, I discovered something that would shape my younger years even more deeply badminton. I quickly developed a fascination and passion for the sport. The racket in my hand, the swift movements across the court, and the excitement of every smash and rally filled me with both challenge and joy. I trained diligently, pushing myself to improve. I competed in intramurals during Grade 4 and Grade 5, only to fall short in the finals. At first, these losses were disappointing, but they planted in me a valuable lesson: perseverance matters more than immediate victory. By Grade 6, after years of persistence, I finally reaped the rewards. I became the Division Men's Singles Badminton Champion, a title that validated all the sweat and effort I had poured into the sport. Though I was not chosen to compete at the regional level, I carried with me the pride of my achievement and the joy of proving to myself that hard work pays off.

     When 2017 came, I graduated from elementary school, standing proudly as Top 8 in my class. That summer, I also went through a rite of passage that every Filipino boy is familiar with circumcision a tradition that symbolizes a step toward maturity. For me, it marked a transition from the innocence of childhood toward the responsibilities and experiences of adolescence.

     That same year, another big chapter unfolded. I entered Villa Concepcion High School- Rogus Extension as a Grade 7 student. High school was a time of self-discovery, full of challenges, laughter, heartbreaks, and unforgettable lessons. High school also tested me physically. During a high jump training, I suffered a serious accident that broke my left arm. Being left-handed, this injury was more than just painful it was deeply frustrating. Simple tasks became difficult, and I felt limited in what I could do. Yet, with patience, determination, and support from those around me, I eventually recovered. The experience showed me resilience, reminding me that even setbacks can strengthen us if we choose to rise again.
