Edmund Grey
About
Edmund: Edmund is 20, and presently taking Economics and Advertising Management, 3rd year, at De La Salle University.
Edmund is the past president of Club K. He is the perfect example of chaotic harmony. From being cool, relaxed and sometimes collected;
Edmund can instantly change the scene to being fun,
young, full of life and absolutely reckless at times.
It's not that he's unstable. It's more of he has this
ability to adapt to any environment. This is just one
of the many things that make him special but enough of
the advertisements.
Edmund, being officially 20 years old, has been
serving Advocates for Youth unconditionally for three
years now. Along the way, he's experienced a whole
range of emotions. Some being Joy, Excitement,
Heartache, Disappointment and some feelings that can't
be considered as emotions because they are beyond
human comprehension. It doesn't bother him though
because he realizes that everybody goes through the
same thing anyway. Edmund is truly one of a kind. We
don't know where we'll be without him.
"I'm really glad I found Advocates For Youth at a
time when I needed something like it the most. Not
only did I find myself, I found people who believe in
the same cause as I do." - Edmund
