I am currently in my last semester as a 2nd year BSBA-MM student road to 3rd year already! Time really flies so fast. I still have so many things I want to tell you watty, but there’s just too much that I feel like my thoughts and typings would get all tangled up here. So many silent battles, breakdowns, sleepless nights, and moments where I questioned myself if I was really doing enough. College really changes you. It teaches you how to survive even when you’re tired, overwhelmed, and emotionally drained. But despite everything, I’m still here. Still fighting. Still choosing to continue.
And above all of this, I want to recognize my mother’s sacrifices ever since I started college. I know I’ve already come far, but I still have a long way to go, hehe.

Mama, I just want to tell you how thankful I am for everything you’ve done and will continue to do for me. Just so I could have money for transportation every day going to school, I witnessed how you humbled yourself and borrowed money just to make sure I could attend my classes daily. (For context, the PUP satellite campus where I study is one town away from where we live.)

That’s why, Mama, I promise you this: even if I complain every day about being tired from school works, I will never stop pursuing my studies. Even if I may not be able to offer you, Tita, and Ate a “Laude,” I will still do my best to finish my studies and make it all worth it for all of you.
I may not be the smartest student in class, and I may not always know what I’m doing, even if I may not be able to offer you, Tita, and Ate a “Laude,” but one thing is certain I will never give up. Because this dream is no longer just for me. It is also for the people who believed in me even during the times when I could not believe in myself. I make it all worth it for all of you.
Someday, in God’s perfect time, I will finally be able to say, “Nakapagtapos din ako.” And when that day comes, all the pagod, puyat, tears, and sacrifices will finally make sense.
To my future self, I hope when you read this again someday, you’ll smile and realize that everything you went through was worth it.
