Success for me is living your life as a happy person achieving goals despite all the pain and struggles you will encounter.

Achieving one's goals were never easy. Pursuing my dream was like a roller coaster ride. There are many ups and downs. From waking up early in the morning because class will start at exactly 7 am. The struggle of going to school because it's a way too far from home. Maintaining an above average grades so that I can still avail the privilege of a scholar which is the free tuition.

I wasn't a perfect student. I have so many lapses wherein I failed in many exams, scolded by my Professors. Even though there are many reasons to give up. There are still many reasons to rise up and continue my journey. I always fight the urge of giving up for I have put in my mind that I must endure this to succeed in life. I never gave in to the temptation of quitting because this journey wasn't just for me but also for my family

I am thankful for those few individuals for staying with me till the very end. Without all your help, I wouldn't able to survive my College life.

My warmest thank you to my family for all the sacrifices to support me in everything that I need.

My ever supportive boyfriend for not giving up with me and for loving me unconditionally.

Thank you everyone for making me the person I am today.

So, to those who struggle. Stand up and Soar high in how far you have come and faith in how far you can go. Look what I have become. Everyone can succeed if you really believe that you can 🙂 IF I CAN ! YOU CAN!

To God be all the Glory!
