BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

The author is the fourth son of Danilo Gonzales Ymas and Anita Gontiñas

Sanchez. He lives in Brgy. Bayabas Abuyog, Leyte, born on the eighth day of

September at Brgy. Bayabas Abuyog, Leyte. He has four sisters and three brothers

namely: Michelle, Clear, Nicole, Karyll, Dennis, Vincent John and John Lloyd. He

finished his elementary education at Bayabas Elementary School in the year 2009 and

his secondary education at Abuyog National High School in the year 2013. During his

younger years, he wished to take up the degree Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at

Saint Paul School of Professional Studies formerly named Saint Paul School of

Business and Laws. Apparently, he decided to pursue the degree Bachelor of Science

in Mechanical Engineering at the Visayas State University, because he wanted to

fulfill the dream of his late father for him, which is to become an engineer.

The author is a former resident of Mabolo Men’s Hall for four months of his

first semester in VSU. However, he stayed in his eldest sister’s house at Albuera,

Leyte until he finished his first semester of his freshmen’s year. He decided to transfer
