Chain D. Habana is a passionate and dedicated fourth-year student at Camarines Norte State College-Abaño Campus, pursuing a Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Sciences. At 23, Chain’s commitment to her studies and her chosen field reflects her belief in the transformative power of education. Her academic journey, marked by hard work and resilience, has earned her the Dean's List Award twice, first in 2022 and again in 2024. Chain's devotion to her studies and her drive to excel mirror her commitment to making education a lifelong pursuit. Her goal is to inspire students in the sciences, turning complex subjects into approachable, meaningful learning experiences. Guided by curiosity and a steadfast commitment to her professional growth, Chain continues to make strides in her field, aspiring to positively impact the lives of future learners. Her path towards deciding to become a future educator someday, came from a huge a turn as through her previous years she envisioned herself differently. Back from her Senior High school year, she took the Technical-Vocational Track (TVL) focusing on Culinary Arts and graduated as the valedictorian of class 2019-2020 in St. Francis Caracciolo Culinary Academy Incorporated. Her decision to become a future educator slowly prevailed when she envisioned and asked herself on how she will imagine herself 10 years from now—and that is to be a Licensed Professional Teacher. She personally hold onto her life mantra which is, "Fall down seven times, stand up eight" implying that life comes with impediments and it simply means that no matter how many times you face setbacks or failures, you should always have the resilience and determination to get back up and continue moving forward.
