SI CHARITY Ray Hildreth ang 13 anyos nga Filipina-American national nga nagkampiyon karong tuiga sa Elks Club Hoop Shoot Competition sa State Montana tournament sa Amerika.
Kini human nga iyang napasud ang 17 out of 25 free throws sa “girls 12-13 age bracket title” sa maong basketball shooting competition.
Gitakda unta siyang mo-advance sa national finals sa Chicago niadtong Abril apan tungod sa Covid-19 nakanselar ang maong event.
Ang multi-talented nga anak sa magtiayong Amerikanong si Bryce Hildreth ug Cebuanang si Hazel Monares Hildreth nga taga-Busay, Lahug usa usab ka ramp model ug singer-guitarist.
“Even in the U.S I do online guitar and voice lessons with Sir Denis Namocatcat of Cebu Music Learning Center. I also take guitar lessons from my foreign instructor Tambi Fluckiger. For modeling, I joined Runways and Tiaras, K-Pop Princess, F2go R-Diamond Production and Stepone,” paambit ni Charity sa online interview sa Superbalita Cebu.
“Right now I’ve been recording some of my dad’s compositions. I also have my own vlog which I do it every day in Charity Ray Hildreth vlog.”
Pagboto sa Covid-19 dinhi sila naabtan sa iyang pamilya sa Sugbo apan taliwa sa mga health protocol nga gipatuman malampuson silang nakabalik sa Montana niadtong Agusto. Bisan sa linghod nga pangidaron gipakita ni Charity ang kalig-on ug dugong kampyon sa usa ka Cebuana dili lang sa sports ug showbiz kundi bisan niining pandemya. Charity Ray Hildreth, Ssssuper Ka!!!
When did you start playing basketball?
When I was in third grade. My success is due to hard work and lots of trainings with my dad, who is my mentor. At practice I usually have an average score of 22 out of 25 free throws. But I can also hit a perfect score of 25 at some occasions. My dad used to be a varsity player during his heydays. Actually, 17 out of 25 was the worst I shot this year. You have to spend a lot of time in the gym to be able to shoot well.
Kahibawo ra ka magbinisaya?
Oo. Kahibalo ko magbinisaya ug kabalo sad kog Chinese gamay. Please tan-aw mo sa akong YouTube channel kay daghan kong chika ninyo didto kon unsay life nako sa Montana.
Unsa diay life nimo sa Montana?
I have the best of two worlds. Kadtong naa pa ko sa Philippines early this year I do home schooling, because US allows me to bring my books to the Philippines. Kon naa mi sa US, I go to Dillon Middle School. Face-to-face classes are allowed in Montana despite the pandemic. But our hostel business in the Philippines has been closed due to Covid. It has been financially difficult this year for our family just like the rest of the world.
How do you describe yourself?
I’m diligent and work hard at whatever I do. I love doing things with my family. I love our savior Jesus Christ. When I turn 19 I want to serve a mission for my church, The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Asa mo mag-New Year?
We usually welcome the New Year at my grandparents’ house. Eating good food and playing lots of games. But we don’t have Misa De Gallo here during Christmas and also no fireworks. My mom loves to cook our favorite spaghetti and lumpia. You can also watch her vlog: Simply cooking with Hazel Hildreth.
What’s your New Year’s wish?
I wish for a Covid-free world by 2021 and for me to get back to normal life with my family, my church and my classmates, where I can learn and continue to develop new things that I enjoy doing. Sa mga taga-Cebu please visit my vlog at Charity Ray Hildreth. Happy New Year!
