    ART APPRECIATION

    Prepared By:
    Valencia Jamaica O. BSED 1

    Prof: Mrs. Marife Li Fong


     Realityspeaking, it is true that all Filipinos
    are very competitive and are really keep
    soaring to its very best.

     Filipinosare very powerful in different


    aspects of competition whether it is singing,
    dancing, beauty pageants sports, etc.

     Differentartists are being remembered for


    all the honor and pride they persistently
    bring to our country.
     And today I was going to
    introduce to you one of those
    Filipino artists who recently
    bring honor and a big pride to
    all Filipinos.

     She is a Filipina weightlifter


    and airwoman, the first
    Filipino to ever win an
    Olympic gold medal for the
    Philippines. She is Hidilyn
    Diaz.
    HIDILYN FRANCISCO DIAZ
     a Filipina artists who was born on February 20, 1991
     She is the fifth of six children of Eduardo and Emelita
    Diaz.
     She attended the Universidad de Zamboanga where she
    pursued a bachelor's degree in computer science.
     She is a devout Catholic and credits her faith with
    inspiring her athletic achievements.
     Hidilyn's father was a tricycle driver before becoming a
    farmer and a fisherman. She grew up wanting to be a
    banker and trying several sports, like basketball and
    volleyball. Her cousin taught her the basics of
    weightlifting.
     She stopped attending the university as a third year
    irregular student as she found her degree unsuitable for
    her. She also claimed that it distracted her training.
     After her success in the 2016 Olympics, Diaz decided to
    continue her tertiary education and intended to pursue a
    degree related to sports in Manila.
     In her early weightlifting years, she was a bronze
    medalist in the 2007 SEA Games in Thailand and
    achieved 10th place at the 2006 Asian Games in
    the 53-kilogram class.
     While she was a student and representing
    Universidad de Zamboanga, she won two golds
    and one silver in the Asian Youth/Junior
    Weightlifting Championship held in Jeonju, South
    Korea.

     She
    competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics,
    where she was the youngest competitor in the
    women's 58-kg category.
     In the 2016 Summer Olympics, she won the silver medal
    in the women's 53-kg weight division, ending the
    Philippines' 20-year Olympic medal drought.
     In January 2017, she received a scholarship to study
    business management at De La Salle-College of Saint
    Benilde.

     In 2019, she went on a leave of absence for her


    schooling as she had focused on Olympic Preparation
    after winning the Asian Games.
     In 2020, Diaz had re-enrolled into online classes since
    the Summer Olympics had been postponed to July 2021.
     This last July 26, 2021, she won the
    Philippines' first Olympic gold medal at
    the 2020 Summer Olympics for the
    women's 55 kg category for weightlifting,
    setting Olympic records for the 55 kg
    division in the clean and jerk at 127 kg
    and in the total at 224 kg. The Philippines
    really exulting in her success.
     In this life story of Ms. Hidilyn Diaz I learned that It is true that
    there is no other recipe for achieving your goals other than hard
    work and attitude. Many might be able to relate to her story, which
    may help us dream bigger for ourselves and working hard to attain
    it. It is not an instant victory, but it is indeed a common journey of
    starting small and ending the greatest one.

     As they say, there is no shortcut to success. If you have a vision,


    just focus on achieving it even if it will require you to make
    sacrifices. Hidilyn was forced to stop schooling to continue training
    for weightlifting and was also not able to be with her family for a
    long time because hardwork pays of.

     Hidilyn's winning moment also teaches us to never give up amidst


    all the rejections and failures. She had her own share of
    disappointments and losses in major sports events. However, these
    did not stop her from pursuing her dream of snatching the gold
    medal despite the many problems and challenges she encountered
    in preparation for the Olympics.
