Office of Student Affairs STI College Bacoor Dear Sir Dan, I am writing this letter to explain why I was absent from the Student Development Seminar. I was invited by Sir Doc to do an acoustic song number in a Quiz Bee he organized together with Vigintillion Society that following Monday. Instead of going to the said seminar, I was asked to practice with the acoustic band but at the last minute I was told to do just a solo piece. Also, Sunday is the only day that I get to pamper myself. I work 16 hours a day, Monday through Saturday from 8am to 12midnight. In between those hours, I also go to school. I treat Sunday as a very important day for myself, family and friends. But rest assure that at my age, Ive already come to realize what I lacked during my teenage years - and that is the value of education. At 35, I now know my goals in life, where Im heading to and what my plans for in the future. As always, thank for your support, being understanding and being so accepting. I really appreciate it.
