I want them to realize that they can also make their dreams happen,” said Ella.

Ella, who is an incoming 4th year high school student, also hopes that through “Aryana” she can motivate her fans to focus and at the same time enjoy their school days. “Hopefully they will be inspired to excel in their studies and at the same time be active in their chosen extra-curricular activities like Aryana’s character,” she shared.

Amid her newfound fame, Ella knows that the glitz and glamour of showbiz is not forever. And just like her fellow tweens, the “Aryana” star also has her dream job and that is to fly. She confessed, “I want to become a flight attendant. I want to travel and explore the different parts of the world.”

Meanwhile, the blooming love teams of “Aryana”–Aryana and Marlon (Paul Salas); and Megan (Michelle Vito) and Hubert (Dom Roque)–have also quickly won the hearts of the primetime viewers especially the youth. Can Marlon still win back Aryana’s attention now that she is stuck with the campus heartthrob Hubert?
