HIGH ACHIEVER SINCE DAY ONE: When looking at the trophy shelf inside the house of Hearst, one might ask, “Whose trophies are those?” the answer is hers. She loves helping her siblings when studying, too.
  

  
The sprout had grown to a seedling, it had become bigger than before. Kaia noticed this first, so she told everyone in the house, “We’re really going to have a tree!”

On weekdays, after going through classes and classes, she spared some of her time to visit the library and tried to find books that specifically talk about how to grow a tree. Kaia has always been like this; once she’s interested in something, she’ll be willing to do anything to make it happen.

She found about three books, all of them came in different sizes. Kaia promised herself to learn everything from it. She then asked the librarian if she could borrow those three books at the same time, but since she’s a regular member, the librarian said yes without a second thought. He stamped the sign of the library on the book, then wrote Kaia’s name there: KAIA NOE HEARST.
  

  
CAREFUL WITH HIS HEART, IT’S FRAGILE: Though might appear unapproachable, he is actually very soft-spoken and he appreciates those who love him sincerely. Please don’t hurt our precious Jesse.
  

  
As mentioned, Jesse is truly a soft-spoken person. When he says he is fond of his family, he really means it—he just loves being under the same roof with them every single day. Not to mention that he’s very devoted to Momma, that whenever she asks for help, he’ll be more than willing to fulfill her needs.

Now that the sprout has grown to a taller seedling, Jesse was being asked to buy a pack of organic plant fertilizer from the nearest gardening shop. Of course, he agreed. He took one of his little brothers to go along with him.

“Two packs of fertilizer, please,” he said to the store clerk.

“Didn’t Momma say a pack?” his brother was frowning at him.

“Why not?” asked Jesse. “I’ll pay for it. I’m supporting whatever Momma is up to.”

The store clerk came with Jesse’s request. “Two packs of fertilizer, coming! Anything else?”

Jesse shook his head.

The store clerk asked for his full name and from that point, he realized that Jesse’s family members are regular customers in this shop—because of the surname: JESSE ALTERIO HEARST.
  

  
THE ONE WHO COULDN’T STAY STILL: No matter how packed her schedule might be, ‘doing nothing’ is just not her thing. Something MUST be done to keep her busy, in or outside the house.
  

  
For someone as energetic and active as Debora—who couldn’t spend a minute staying still without doing anything—the idea of growing a tree in the backyard sounded like a super huge party for her. She celebrated the news by dancing around the seedling, as if she was giving off her positive energy towards the blooming plant.

She has always been a curious one, too. One time, when her older sister tried to water the seedling, she took a quick glance of how her sister did it and asked right away, “Can I do it too, Sis?” Luckily, her siblings are very much used to that, so no one has ever gotten irritated or annoyed by her curiosity; they rather find it cute.

At another time, she went outside the house and been gone for hours, just to brought back loads of pebbles that who knows where did she find it. She arranged the pebbles around the seedling, and when she realized the number is enough, she tried to build her name out of it: DEBORA LÉAH HEARST.
  

  
BRIGHTEST SMILE THAT EVEN THE SUN ENVIES: The atmosphere in the house of Hearst is unlikely to be gloomy because we have her. Just look at her gummy smile, what else is there to ask for?
  

  
Genoveva, who we call Ginny, is really fond of taking pictures and uploading it on her social media accounts. She just loves interacting with people, online or on the spot. In fact, Ginny was the only one who used to regularly take photos of Momma’s seedling. From the first time Momma putting it on the ground, to the time it gradually grew, she keeps every track in the form of pictures, all kept safe in her phone gallery.

Sometimes Momma would ask her too if she has an update of the plant today. The plant is growing well, Momma! I can see a tiny leaf coming out of its stem. Oh wow! Another leaf! And click, clack. Pictures sent.

One day, the most unexpected thing happened. A plant lover page on Instagram reached out to her, saying that they appreciate Ginny’s work and would love to repost some of her pictures. They started the message with nice greetings along with her full name being mentioned: GENOVEVA LOISEL HEARST.
  

  
HEARST’S RAY OF SUNSHINE: Everything becomes a hundred times better when Icii is present! He truly knows how to love his family members, be it by giving them hugs, kisses, or handmade gifts.
  

  
Tiny Icii, with crayons in hand, habitually watched as Momma’s seedling slowly developed into a taller plant. He was inspired by how it turned out to be each day, that he started to make his own version on a paper using bright colors. As the drawing looked complete to him, he would adorably dance all day while showing the picture to everyone in the house.

“Momma, look at my drawing! This is our soon-to-be tree.”

Then it was Momma’s turn to see how pretty and colorful Icii’s drawing was, which certainly astonished her. “I can buy you more crayons if you want,”

“HUH!” Icii gasped as he heard that. “Can I, Momma? I mean, you can but you don’t have to…”

“Of course I do,” Momma replied gently. “Now, let’s go get ready, okay? You can put this drawing on your wall if you like.”

“Thank you, Momma!” Icii had never been happier before. He then followed what his mother had said, he glued the paper onto his bedroom wall, next to a scribble that says: RUICII-O MUFF HEARST.
  

  
*LOOKING ALL FINE* “MOMMA, PLEASE PICK ME UP...”: In front of the guys, he might look cold and somewhat scary, but little did his friends know that he is such a crybaby—Momma’s baby, to be precise.
  

  
The seedling had indeed become even more taller and stronger, but that doesn’t mean anyone can be unmindful when playing around it. Consider Eliel—the crybaby who tries (sometimes so hard) to cover his image by looking cool and cold, but fails—most of the time.

One day, he went to the backyard to play with the soccer ball Momma just bought him the other day. He thought it was okay to play around the sapling because it seemed bigger than before, but he was wrong. One mistake and crack! Sound of the stem cracking.

His older brothers that saw him immediately reported to Momma about what happened. Getting fed up with all the guilt, Eliel started to shed tears. He cried even harder when Momma came to him, even when she gave her gentle reassurance while calling his name: ELIEL HEARST.
  

  
EVERYONE IN SCHOOL KNOWS HER NAME: She just makes friends with little to no effort at all. It’s her weekly routine to go for a ‘girls night out’ or invite some friends home for a sleepover party.
