Who is Jim Francis?
Jim Francis is an SK (Sangguniang Kabataan) official in his hometown, a role that has helped shape his leadership and community involvement. Being part of the SK has not only given him the opportunity to serve but also to grow in various aspects of his life—especially in terms of responsibility, communication, and collaboration with others.
During his high school years, Jim was a varsity athlete who specialized in track and field. Being part of the school’s athletic team played a major role in his personal development. Sports helped him overcome his shyness and taught him discipline, time management, and the importance of perseverance. Track and field gave him a sense of purpose and identity during his teenage years, and these experiences have stayed with him as he took on more leadership roles in his community.
Aside from sports and public service, Jim also enjoys photography, particularly taking pictures of nature and sunsets. This hobby allows him to unwind and appreciate the beauty of the world around him. Capturing the vibrant colors of the sky and the calmness of natural scenery gives him a creative outlet that balances his active and busy lifestyle.
Even while serving as an SK official, Jim makes time to play basketball—his everyday hobby and a sport that brings him joy. Basketball, like track and field, has also contributed to his confidence and social skills, giving him the courage to interact with more people and build stronger connections.
Originally from Batangas, Philippines, Jim lived there permanently until the age of 22. It’s the place where he was raised, learned life’s early lessons, and formed many of his values and interests.
Recently, he and his brother-in-law (@splintercell-01) have started exploring online games like Splinterlands, a strategic blockchain-based card game. Their shared interest in gaming has opened new opportunities for bonding and discovering another modern hobby.
I would also like to thank @wittyzell for the onboarding process here in Hive.
