Dear Mr. Lito & Mrs. Estrellita Reyes,

HAPPY NEW YEAR po! Before I start this letter, please let me share some
experiences about the unexpected things happened in my life recently.

Truly, I consider the last semester as a crucial part for a BSA student because we had
that so called dos retention policy in which if we obtain grade lower than 2, the school
will remove us from the BSA program. Im one of those students who almost suffered with
that policy because during our prelim period last sem, I received 2.25 for my financial
accounting 1 subject. I thought that will be the end of my CPA journey but the Lord is really
a loving and caring father for He saved me.

Ive been in the point where I almost give up and pray like, if he doesnt want me to
be in the program then please be it for He is the Lord and I can do nothing without Him.
But when I remember you, Mr. Lito & Mrs. Estrellita, and Lolo Andy who also been part of
this battle, God made me realized that through your presence He is showing already and
giving His full support with this dream so I prayed again and asked for forgiveness for my
negligence, I ended up asking for another chance, a chance to give my very best not just for
me but especially for you, people who inspires me.

And the Lord Jesus helped me; I could not now explain how my accounting subject
jumped from 2.25 (prelims) into 1.50 (final grade) and my GPA from 1.83 (prelims) into
1.36 (final grade). For me and for the other students, its impossible yet the Lord made it
possible.

While I am still amazed with His power, He again showed his mercy for another
huge change in my college life. As we normally started this semester for two weeks, the
Associate Dean called and interviewed me; and after few days she happily announced that I
am one of those chosen persons who will be transferred to the Accounting Honors Class
the group of scholars who consistently top the Departmental Examinations. I consider them
as accounting wizards my idols, the undefeated ones. We are just 18 in the class. At
first, I felt like I dont deserve to be there. I felt out of place. They dont like much chatting
like I do; they were humans who I think were born just to read books (just kidding) but
honestly I saw myself as the underdog of that class.

But the Lord is the best supportive father ever! He again showed his mightiness and
made me feel that He understands my situation. Unexpectedly, during our Preliminary
Departmental Examination, I ranked first. The results surprisingly blown the expectations
of the whole class even the professors, of course me too, I never expect that thing! Its a
Miracle indeed!
 Through this, I hope you can see how the Lord works in my life. He is the greatest
lover ever and I would like to say thank you again for letting yourself to be the instrument
of that love, through the inspiration you give, not just the financial support, you are helping
me to fulfill my dreams. I know, the Lord is not blind with your kindness, He acknowledges
everything even a very little good deed that we do what more with the help you extend. I
strongly believe that your rewards were already prepared not just here on Earth but also in
Heaven, you deserve to be blessed as you are a blessing for us. Thank you so much.

We pray for a good health for your family, thank you for reading my long letter. I
know my college will be a very difficult and bumpy journey, and thank you for helping me
to overcome the difficulties. God bless.

Sincerely yours,

IRENE PAULINE CANLAS
