"Lights will guide you home."
I am Ellaissah Faye R. Lanuza and you can call me Ellah. I live in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. I am 20 years old. I was born on October 2, 2000. I am year of the dragon and my zodiac sign is Libra.
I am currently a 2nd year multimedia artist student, studying in Malayan Colleges Laguna. I love anything relating to Art such as music, dancing, drawing, painting, digital arts, photography and even teaching Arts. I want to be an aspiring artist someday.
I am the first born in the family and I have a younger sister named, Jullianne Faye R. Lanuza. My parents name are Fernando R. Lanuza and Norelyn R. Lanuza. I love my family and cherish them the most. Anywhere I am as long as I am with them, I am home.
I am fascinated with the beauty of Nature and how God created it. My favorite color is blue and I love how blue the water and the sky is, because it calms me and gives me serenity.
I define myself as a voyager. Wandering around, exploring, and having adventures in the sea. When I see the sea it makes me want to travel it explore its wonders.
But growing up, life is not always easy. Wandering was fun but it can be difficult when problems in the adventure starts to appear. When I was in elementary I love joining contest such as Declamation during English week and Pagtula during Buwan ng Wika. It helps me build my confidence and strive to do harder in the future.
But as puberty hits, insecurities starts to surface. The confidence I have built crumbles. I started to be shy and afraid to speak up, because people may judge me. I interact less also.

But my parents are my lighthouse. Whenever I am lost they will be my light and find my way home. Their unending support carries me through the way. They taught me that the opinion of others will remain as opinion and words. Although some words may hurt I should always remember that I have a home where no one would judge me. They are my strength that keeps me going.
So when my confidence starts to be build again, I discovered my potential in singing and my parents encouraged me to join contests and although I did not win, people recognize me and I am happy. Also let my hidden talent in Arts and craft to be showed to people. I had friends who have the same talents as mine and we began exploring the out side the box with our talents.
I find my solace with my friends and parents. The love I am receiving is over-flowing and I could not ask for more. Every sail I make is fun and when I get lost, I just need to find my lighthouse to be guided home and I will be safe. Lastly, Things does not always go our way, and there may be a lot of doors that will close. But I know there is a window that will always be open. Do not lose hope because tomorrow is another day.
