I finally graduated from college!
The glorious day of finally walking up the stage and receiving a "diploma" has happened. It was especially touching for me cause I never got to march on stage for my high school graduation.
And wearing my black toga in the Plenary Hall of the Philippine International Convention Center, I was able to make my parents proud as hell.
They were able to witness their first-born, their daughter finish college in the prestigious De La Salle University-Manila without paying a single cent for my tuition and fees. Of course this wouldn't be possible without the former Dean of the College of Education, Dr. Roberto T. Borromeo and the Vice Dean, Dr. Rochelle Irene G. Lucas aaaand the director of SFA, Ms. Severina Kikuchi. They saw the potential in me and my life will be changed forever because of them.
Lord, thank You for making me see why certain painful things happened in my life. It is all because You wanted to bring me to this day, to that moment when I can say to myself that Your plans are indeed better. Your grace and love is enormous and it is enough to pull me through.
I am indeed blessed!
Here's to the Last Centennial Graduates of De La Salle University!
And here's to all those people out there who thought that the light will never come. I was once there but I was determined to succeed. :)
