Graduation is one of the most significant events of my life as it gave me a sense of completion, and it has proved that hard work really pays off.
All of my life, I have always put my education first because my father told me at a young age that I should take school seriously, as he was not given a chance to finish his studies. Ever since he told me that, I promised myself that I would always make sure that I am giving my best when it comes to my education.
Looking back, I still remember the days I took entrance exams from different universities; I lost track of how many applications I had sent and did not end up studying at my dream school. I also gave up my dream of becoming a Psychologist and took another course, but still, I studied hard to maintain good grades, yet I got one failing grade during the pandemic and failed to be part of Latin Honor.
My college days have been filled with struggles, insecurities, and sleepless nights. Our life was flipped upside down because of the pandemic. We are the product of both face-to-face and online classes, but we have survived our education despite all the challenges that the pandemic brought us. I still enjoyed it and had an excellent college experience. Even though I couldn't pursue my dream school and course, I was able to meet incredible people throughout my journey. Even though I wasn't part of the Latin Honor, I still have my scholarship from the beginning up until the end of my college journey, and aside from that, I met Cooee when I was losing hope.
What I have realized is that sometimes not getting what you wanted or planned for ends up being the best thing that ever happened to you, and what's really meant for you will never ever pass you by because if God doesn't give you what you want, He will provide you with what you need.
And now, I am thrilled to unlock my future in a world that is full of opportunities, and I am starting it with Cooee!
