In celebration of National Women’s Month, LCNHS–Mayao Castillo Extension shares the inspiring story of Sai Chanelle Cusi, one of our students. According to her fellow student, Sai is kind, confident, and dedicated in everything she does. Her determination and positive attitude inspire many students in our school. She is truly a great example of a strong and inspiring young woman.
"My motivation in life comes from the women in my family, especially my mother and grandmother. Growing up, I saw their strength and sacrifices as they raised us despite difficulties. They are not “just women” but strong individuals who build lives, care for others, and contribute to the community. Even behind the scenes, they continue to inspire and empower, showing that women are essential and powerful.
The community and the family that surrounds me is my biggest motivation kase talaga sila yung nagp-push sakin to build a name for myself and to be someone better.
Sa huli, malaking bahagi ng journey ko ang naging inspirasyon at suporta ng mga babae sa paligid ko—ang mama, lola, mga tita, at kaibigan. Sa kanila ko natutunan kung paano maging matatag, maingat sa desisyon, at huwag matakot subukan ang mga bagong bagay. Ang pagmamalasakit at determinasyon nila ang naging gabay ko, at dahil sa kanila, mas nakilala ko ang sarili ko at mas naging confident ako sa pagiging totoo sa sarili ko. Sila ang dahilan kung bakit ako ngayon—isang taong handang lumabas sa comfort zone, harapin ang takot, at yakapin ang sarili ng buong puso."
May her story remind us that through her journey as a student, the dedication and strength of the women around her played a vital role in shaping who she is today. Their guidance, sacrifices, and quiet resilience became her inspiration, allowing her to grow into someone who now reflects those same qualities and positively influences others around her.
