Know anyone who fits the latter part of that?
Ako meron. Beh. Haha.
Almira Joy Perez Jota
AJ, Jota, Almyra
AJ, Jota, Almyra
The name "Almira" has already been familiar to me since Second Year. I've known her as one very smart student. She was Top3 of our batch during that year. However, I have to admit, I never really got the chance to talk to her personally, not until Third Year that is. From Third Year to Fourth Year, AJ and I were classmates.
That was when I really got to know AJ.
The fact that Jota is an amazingly great person is quite an understatement. She's really, really intelligent. She has this sort of in-born intelligence. She's especially talented in Mathematics and I often went to her whenever my mind got confused seeing all those numbers. It's magnificent how she manages to come up with all those solutions. Jota also has one of the best memories I can remember. In class, she hardly needs to take down notes. It's like every word the teacher says is registered automatically in her brain.
Academics aside, AJ also is one great performer. She's an outrageous dancer, often choreographing a lot of our class presentations. Pramis. Ang galing niya sumayaw. Super galing pang umarte. She even won Best Supporting Actress during our last Drama Fest. Rinape kaya siya run! She always is willing to take one for the class. In all our class presentations, she always plays such a remarkable role. Ka-group ko nga siya sa Filipino last year. Her awesome ideas and acting just make me go "ang galing ni Jota." I do believe that without her, presentations would never be the same. She is also quite the writer. Often, her outputs are often admired for her style of writing. I've read one or two of he routputs, and I must sya they were so beautifully written. She certainly goes beyond her years.
One of the best things about Jota is that she's a fighter. She knows how to speak her mind and stand up to it. Her strong spirit just makes me admire her all the more. She was part of the Parliamentary Team-Masci last year. She also attended the summer classes that the team was required to undertake. Circumstances did not allow me to attend such, but I hear a lot about Almira's performance.
She is indeed a very talented Parliamentarian. Always willing to study and undergo the intensive training. However, her health fails her at times. AJ has a heart problem and the pressure that arose from Parlia probably triggered her sickness. They tell me that she was even brought to the hospital. I've seen her like that several times before. Naalala ko pa noong Third Year, kinabahan kami lahat dahil naghihina at naninikip na naman ang dibdib ni Jota. That was my first time to actually see something like that. Except for times like these, AJ never showed any signs of her condition. She is in fact very active and perky. I often imagined people with such conditions to always be so timid and quiet. But ever since I met her, I never had that perception again.
Despite people convincing her to quit the team due to her health, AJ never gave up. She still prodded on. She could have let go of the pressure to make things easier for her, but she still chose to come out of her comfort zone, to never give up. This is one of the greates traits about her. She is not contented in limiting herself. She doesn't let boundaries like that get in the way of what she wants to do. She more than fits the line I made up at the start of this post.
Another thing about Jota is that she is one great friend. It's no wonder she has a lot of friends all over the batch. She's the kind who speaks her mind and yet still be able to listen and listen well. She's the kind who'll always be there for you no matter what happens. She may be the youngest in our class, but her mature outlook in life translates into years of wisdom. Very few people are like AJ, and I'm glad I'm lucky enough to have her as part of my life. (Andrama!)
Jota. Super salamat sa lahat. Sa lahat ng favors, tawa, ngiti, kwentuhan at pagkakaibigan. Pareho lang naman tayong mga anak ng Taft Avenue kaya't alam kong magkikita pa tayo. Goodluck sa college. Alam kong malayo mararating mo. Ingat lagi. Tandaan mo andito lang ako. Awww. Haylabyu Jota. :D
