Bio

I'm Grace. I spent most of my childhood in Ponape, Micronesia as the daughter of Filipino immigrants. After living in the Federated States of Micronesia, I moved to Guam in 2017. And so far, I've been living on Guam for 6 years. I graduated high school from Harvest Christian Academy in the class of 2021. As for some hobbies, I can play a whole lot of board games (and card games) (and things that don't fit in either category). My favorite board game is Settler's of Catan. But I've also played scrabble, monopoly, jenga, and uno. I've also played shogi, go, and xiangqi with some friends before. So far, I'm terrible at xiangqi. But I've excelled at the game of chess. And out of all the board games, chess got me the most recognition. I have won two local tournaments- playing in junior categories. I became a part of Guam's women's chess team since the age of 13. And I've participated in several tournaments on Guam. I was featured on several news outlets: MEGAMIXX, Pacific Daily News Guam, and Post Guam. https://www.guampdn.com/sports/sports-shorts-chess-tournament-open-to-all-ages/article_00b5635f-6153-5518-b372-17a24a247ec3.html

      Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings and sketches were life-like and a result of dedication to many studies. He took notes and sketched his studies of human anatomy, botany, and architecture. While painting, he knew which facial muscles fire to make a smile. As backgrounds, he often incorporated trees and the symmetry of buildings. References Clayton, M., & Philo, R. (2012).
